Frame the Mirror and Side-Light It
A tile or wood frame adds style to a plain mirror. Any tile will work. Apply the tile to the wall using mastic adhesive. Tape off the mirror and use unsanded grout to avoid scratching the mirror.
You can also buy a wood mirror frame at a framing store, or buy wood molding with a rabbet cut into the back and build your own frame. Paint or stain the frame before installing it. A third option is the mirror framing system from Moen.
