  • The size of your wall, the type of mirror material, and decorative elements affect the total cost of the project.

  • You can save on your project by DIYing acrylic mirror sheets, but heavy glass should be handled by a pro.

Mirrored walls cost $1,250 on average for a standard 8-by-10-foot wall, but prices can range anywhere from $525 to $2,000. Factors affecting how much it costs to mirror a wall include the size, type of mirror, and labor. Adding features like LED lighting, custom cuts, unique shapes, and edging can also increase costs.

Size of Wall Mirror

Most mirror installations cost between $6 and $20 per square foot for materials, but prices can range from as little as $1.50 to as much as $40 per square foot. The average wall size is 8 feet high by 10 feet long for a standard room and 10 by 16 feet for a main bedroom, respectively. On average, you’ll spend between $475 and $3,200 on materials for a single wall in most homes. Some homes may cost as little as $120, while others can cost upward of $6,400 for materials.

Here’s a breakdown of different wall mirror installation costs by dimensions:

Frameless, full-length mirrors are the go-to for installing wall mirrors, but you can change things up by choosing mirrors with decorative frames, adhesive sheets, or full-length dimensions, depending on your style.

Adhesive Mirror Sheets

Adhesive mirror sheets cost the least out of all types of mirrors for mirroring a wall, ranging from $1.50 to $7 per square foot. Unlike other types of mirrors that use glass, adhesive mirror sheets use flexible acrylic sheets that stick directly to the wall. This makes them easier to install, safer, and DIY-friendly. The main downside is that acrylic mirrors tend to lack that sleek, crisp reflection that comes with glass mirrors.

Decorative Mirror

Decorative mirrors generally have a frame and come in a variety of shapes, including circles, ovals, octagons, arches, and scallops. You’ll pay more for these intricate shapes or frame materials—anywhere from $12 to $40 per square foot, to be precise. While decorative mirrors give your wall a one-of-a-kind look, their price tag can be a major con worth keeping in mind as you explore your options.

Full-Length Mirror

The cost of a full-length mirror falls between $6 and $35 per square foot, putting this option at a slightly higher price point than your standard mirror size. Full-length mirrors are faster to install, since they take up more space. At the same time, their additional weight can make them challenging to install, so it’s best to have a professional install full-length mirrors on your wall.

Standard Mirror

The average mirror installation cost is between $6 and $20 per square foot. These mirrors may be frameless or have a simple frame around the border. While standard mirrors tend to be more moderately priced, you may find your options are more limited compared to decorative mirrors. Cutting the mirrors can overcome the hurdle of poorly fitting mirrors. The cost to cut glass ranges from $50 to $200 or more, depending on the size and complexity. 

Additional Cost Factors

Aside from your material costs, you’ll also want to factor in labor, demolition and prep work, add-ons, and maintenance costs when budgeting to mirror a wall. 

Labor 

Most mirror installers charge between $50 and $150 per hour, depending on local going rates and the project complexity. Hanging several large mirrors may take as little as an hour to complete, while installing many adhesive mirrors or mirrors in a unique pattern can take several hours. Anticipate spending somewhere between $50 and $600 total on labor. 

Demolition and Prep 

If you need to remove existing wall mirrors to begin your project, expect to pay between $100 and $3,300, or $500 on average. The cost for junk removal services ranges from $75 to $125 for 2 to 3 cubic yards of debris. Prepping your home beforehand can speed up the process and, therefore, cut down on labor costs. Consider clearing the space, removing any obstacles on the wall that would get in the way, and making the room easily accessible. 

Add-Ons

Decorative wall mirrors add charm to a mirrored wall, but they also can crank up the cost. Custom mirrors cost between $150 and $475 apiece, depending on the type of customizations you choose. Here are a few add-ons and their associated prices.

  • Beveled edges: $160–$200

  • Framing: $80–$250

  • LED lighting: $70–$300

  • Polished edges: $85–$120 

  • Seamed edges: $80–$200

Maintenance 

To clean a mirrored wall without streaks or scratches, invest in a microfiber cloth and at-home products or store-bought glass cleaning solutions. Both are relatively inexpensive, ranging from $10 to $20 for a four-pack of microfiber clothes and $3 to $10 per 32 ounces for cleaning solutions. 

DIY Wall Mirror Installation vs. Hiring a Pro

You’ll save between $50 and $600 on labor costs if you decide to DIY your mirror installation. This is a great way to lower costs if you plan on using lightweight acrylic mirror sheets. They’re easy to cut and customize, don’t require heavy-duty mounting hardware, and are inexpensive.  However, we don’t recommend attempting to install large mirrors yourself. 

Glass mirrors can be very heavy, which can lead to injury if improperly handled. Not to mention, if you don’t correctly mount the mirrors to the wall studs, they can fall and break or damage your property or belongings. If you plan on mirroring a wall with glass wall mirrors, you should consider hiring a local mirror installer.

Wall Mirror Replacement vs. Repair 

In most cases, broken mirrors can’t be repaired. But not all mirror damage is unfixable. If your mirror is silvered, the frame got damaged, or you need to remove scratches from glass, then you may be able to repair the wall mirror instead of replacing it. With any repair, stick to the 50% rule. For any repair that costs more than 50% of the cost to replace the mirror, it’s best to replace it.

Does Installing a Wall Mirror Add Value to Your Home?

If your mirrors are attached to your property as a permanent fixture, this can encourage buyers to invest in your home. Wall mirrors can increase the appearance of a home’s interior design, opening the space and making it seem larger than it really is. This illusion can potentially increase your home’s value. 

7 Ways You Can Save Money While Installing a Wall Mirror

Installing a mirrored wall can quickly become a costly endeavor, but there are a few tips and tricks you can try to help lower your expenses, including: 

  • Skip the decorative features like framing, edges, and LED lighting.

  • Go for standard mirror sizes.

  • Hire someone who knows how to measure for a mirror to avoid incorrect measurements and delayed shipping.

  • Choose acrylic mirror sheets over real glass. 

  • DIY acrylic mirror sheets.

  • If choosing glass mirrors, remove obstacles, wall fixtures, and decor from your home before your installer arrives.  

  • Install mirrors on a smaller section of your wall to decrease the total square footage.

Frequently Asked Questions

The average mirror has a lifespan of 10 to 15 years. After that, the coating begins to deteriorate, losing its reflective properties. Acrylic mirrors have a slightly shorter lifespan of seven to 10 years. Higher-quality acrylic sheets with UV-resistant properties have lifespans similar to those of your average mirror. By maintaining your mirrors and keeping them out of direct sunlight when not in use, you can extend their lifespan. Some mirrors can last for decades.

Just how long it takes to install a wall mirror depends on the size of your wall, the type of mirror, the installation method, whether you decide to hire a professional, and the number of installers. For smaller walls with multiple trained professionals and acrylic mirror sheets, you can anticipate having your wall finished within an hour. Larger walls comprised of several custom mirrors can take upward of four hours to complete.
