How Much Does Mirror Installation Cost? [2025 Data]
Mirror, mirror, on the wall, how much is the cost to install?
The cost to install a mirror largely depends on the size and type of the mirror.
Homeowners may be able to hang small mirrors on their own.
Larger or more complex mirrors may require professional installation.
Custom cut mirrors are also more expensive and can include special frames, shapes, and designs.
The average cost to install a mirror is $312, though costs often range from $158 to $485 depending on the size and type of mirror. You may be able to find a small decorative mirror for as little as $65 that you can install yourself, but having a pro install an entire mirrored wall can cost $900 or more.
Size of Mirror
The size of your mirror has the biggest impact on how much it costs to install the mirror. On average, a new mirror costs between $6 and $20 per square foot, or as little as $13.50 for an 18-inch by 18-inch mirror or as much as $720 for a 72-inch by 72-inch mirror.
These costs can depend on the style, thickness, framing, and other features—and custom cut mirrors will also raise the price—but these estimates provide a good framework for when you’re shopping for a new mirror.

Bathroom Vanity Mirror
A bathroom vanity mirror can come in various sizes, shapes, and thicknesses, some with more intricate designs or frames. That said, the typical cost to install a bathroom mirror runs from $100 to $300 if you install it yourself.
Lighted Mirror
Lighted mirrors, often used in bathrooms and at makeup tables, cost between $100 and $2,500, depending on the intricacy of the design. You may also need to find an electrician near you to install an outlet for the mirror, if there is not one readily available.
Medicine Cabinet Mirror
A medicine cabinet with a mirror costs between $100 and $900. These can be more difficult to install; if you don’t have the proper tools and skills, a handyperson should be able to hang a medicine cabinet in an hour or so.
Dresser Mirror
A dresser mirror costs between $50 and $200. These might be built into the dresser you already have, but you can install a mirror above a dresser if you’d like, or replace the old mirror your antique dresser has, if your current mirror is fogged or cracked.
Decorative Mirror
Decorative mirrors can make a living space feel larger and add more light to a room. On average, a decorative mirror from a home goods store costs between $100 and $300; the average homeowner should be able to hang one with a hammer, some nails, a level, and a stud finder.
Full-Length Mirror
A full-length mirror costs between $100 and $800, depending on the size and style. These are helpful for getting ready in the morning in walk-in closets and bedrooms.
Door Mirror
The average door mirror costs between $25 and $200. You can hang a door mirror on your bathroom door, bedroom door, or even closet door without the help of a contractor.
Floor Mirror
The price for a floor mirror ranges between $100 and $800. These free-standing mirrors can be functional, but they’re also a statement piece in your home. Antique floor mirrors may cost more.
Mirrored Wall
Mirrored walls are common in gyms and dance studios, but you can also install these floor-to-ceiling, wall-to-wall mirrors at home. The cost to mirror a wall runs between $250 and $3,400, depending on the size of the wall. You’ll likely need professional installation.
Smart Mirror
A smart mirror costs between $200 and $2,000 and can sync with your other smart devices and your Wi-Fi to display everything from weather and news to calendar reminders and music apps. This makes it easy to stay connected while getting ready for the day.
Mirror With TV
Similarly, you can add a mirror with a built-in TV screen to your bathroom. These cost between $900 and $2,900.
Custom Cut Mirror Costs
On average, a custom cut mirror costs between $100 and $500, though costs can go even higher depending on the size, shape, framing, and thickness.
Cutting: The custom cut work itself costs between $30 and $75, though you could spend $100 or more if you want a mirror with intricate cuts for unique edges. On average, the cost to cut glass runs between $50 and $200 per square foot.
Framing: Adding a custom frame to the mirror can cost anywhere from $80 to $250 or more, in some circumstances.
Thickness: A standard mirror has glass that is 1/4, 3/16, or 1/8 inches thick. The thicker the mirror, the more it will cost. Choosing a 1/4-inch mirror over a thinner mirror could add up to $100 to the custom mirror cost.
Labor Costs
Thinking about hiring a local mirror installer to handle this job? You can usually find a general handyperson to help. On average, hiring a handyperson costs between $50 and $150 per hour. If it’s only a single mirror, the project is likely fast and easy; most installations will only take a single hour, but contractors often have flat rates just for showing up (to make the project worth their time).
If the mirror installation is part of a larger project, such as a bathroom remodel, you might not need to call your local handyperson. Instead, ask the local plumber or electrician doing the work if they can hang the mirror as part of the overall job. In fact, you may even need an electrician to install the mirror anyway if there are any electrical components (like a lighted mirror).
DIY vs. Hiring a Mirror Installation Pro
Most homeowners can install mirrors on their own, whether it’s hanging a framed mirror on a wall, installing a decorative mirror in the living room to enhance the natural light, or replacing a mirror above the dresser. However, if the mirror is large, a disability precludes you from being able to install a mirror on your own, or the project is more comprehensive, like an entire mirrored wall, consider hiring a professional mirror installer (or at least calling a friend for assistance).
Ways to Save Money When Installing a Mirror
Installing a mirror is a straightforward task that shouldn’t cost too much, compared to other home improvement projects. That said, there are some ways to keep costs down:
Install the mirror yourself: Depending on the size of the mirror, it may be easy enough to install it yourself. For larger mirrors, you may need a friend, relative, or neighbor to help, but it’s still likely doable.
Stick customization: Custom cut mirrors are great and make your space unique, but they also drive the price of mirror installation up significantly. Shop at your local home improvement store to find a pre-designed mirror.
Use a smaller mirror: Mirror installation costs increase with the size of the mirror; keep the project small to save money.
