How HGTV Star Jasmine Roth Gives Basic Closet Doors A Stunning Upgrade
If you want to add a little extra oomph to your plain closet doors, we've got you covered. With a little help and inspiration from HGTV star Jasmine Roth, we're showing you how to add full-length mirrors to your bedroom closet doors and give them a custom, luxe appearance using wood trim that'll be the envy of everyone. This DIY project is not only budget-friendly, but it also gives your doors the attention they deserve — whether your closet is a fixer-upper begging for an upgrade or in great condition and simply looking for a modern twist. With a mirror or two, some decorative molding, and heavy-duty glue, you can bring a whole new look to your closet doors, as well as the overall vibe to the room.
This unique closet upgrade is great for professional DIYers or those just getting their feet wet. The project increases the function and style of your bedroom, which holds oodles of untapped potential. It doesn't matter if you want to give new life to basic bifold doors, traditional swing doors, or sliders, this project adds dimension and brings a stylish feature you'll no doubt use every day. It's even a creative closet door idea for renters to make your home feel more like your own. Further, if you don't want to put a lot of effort into the project, but still want a luxe look, try an over-the-door mirror or even peel-and-stick mirrors, which come in a slew of shapes and sizes.
How to upgrade closet doors like Jasmine Roth
During a Season 2 episode of the HGTV series, "Help! I Wrecked My House," Jasmine Roth installed French doors to an open closet and spiced things up with mirrors. Her design created a style that's super pretty but also fully functional. To recreate this look, you'll need a flat, frameless mirror. Room Essentials' Framed Door Mirror from Target is a budget-friendly option at only $7, but you'll have the extra work of removing the border. You can also use adhesive tiles, like the QUEEYON Wall Mirror Tile. Then grab heavy-duty glue to attach the mirror to the door fronts. It may help to remove the closet door and rest it on a leveled surface to secure the mirrors.
To give your mirror closet doors a modern upgrade, DIYers can make an original wood frame, like Roth did, that goes around the border of the glass. Just cut your wood trim at a 45-degree angle and secure it around the mirror. You can also opt for flexible peel-and-stick molding, like LaRolls Wall Molding Trim, which doesn't require an electric saw to cut and comes in multiple styles. To ensure the outer frame stays put, nail it to the door after securing it with the heavy-duty glue. To add molding to the face of the mirrors for an extra luxe look, grab slimmer wood or molding than what you used for the frame. Form an X-pattern across the glass and use heavy-duty glue to secure the pieces. Leave the trim as-is for a rustic look or paint it your favorite shade to amplify the focal point.
