Therefore, there should be little decor in the hallway, and it should not interfere with the functionality of the room. It is better to place jewelry where it is difficult to accidentally touch them: above the mirror, on the walls, under the ceiling.

The easiest way to decorate mirrors
The easiest way to decorate a mirror surface is with acrylic stained glass film, which can be purchased at any hardware store. It is easy to clean, is not afraid of water and household chemicals, and is easy to attach. Once applied to glass, the film increases its strength.
How to decorate a mirror with special stained glass material:
Scheme for proper gluing of stained glass.
- Mark the place where the film will be attached. It is better to choose a space closer to the edge of the mirror: corners, edges.
- Degrease the glass by washing the surface with soapy water and a soft cloth. Aggressive chemical solvents are not suitable - they may cause whitish spots to appear on the film.
- Cut the film with sharp scissors, leaving a small margin so that there is something to grab it by when working. When cutting, the film is turned upward with the paper layer.
- They trace the blanks along the contour so that they then fit exactly into the intended space.
- Apply the patterns to the intended contour on the glass, carefully peel off the paper - not all at once, by 5-7 cm. Press down the stained glass film, smooth it out, peel off the next piece of paper. You need to act very carefully so that the film lays evenly. Using a clean napkin, smooth the surface of the glued pattern from the center to the edges to prevent the formation of air bubbles.
- If bubbles do appear, they are pierced with a regular needle.
When the film is applied not only to the glass, but also to the frame, the latter must first be primed.
If the film is applied to a round or oval-shaped structure, it is advisable to preheat the pattern. This can be done with a hairdryer.
When combining several types of self-adhesive, the blanks are placed one on top of the other.
