A Custom Frame for a Mirror That Isn't a Standard Size

Not every mirror was installed at a standard dimension. Instead of choosing from a fixed set of sizes, your frame is built to the exact width and height of the mirror you already have.

  • Made to your mirror's exact dimensions
  • Fits square and rectangular mirrors of any size
  • No mirror removal required

This page is for framing an existing square or rectangular mirror. If your mirror has a different shape, or you don't have a mirror yet, custom-size Framed Mirrors are the better fit.

Before you order

Three Things to Check on Your Mirror

Most wall mirrors are good candidates for a frame. These quick checks help confirm yours is one of them.

Check the Glass

Frames install over existing glass, so the mirror itself needs to be in reasonable shape.

  • No large cracks running through the glass
  • No missing chunks of silvering
  • Edges are intact enough to sit under a frame

Check How It's Mounted

Most standard wall-mounted mirrors work. A few mounting types need a different approach.

  • Securely attached to the wall
  • Mounted with clips or adhesive, not a built-in cabinet door
  • Flat against the wall, not recessed into it

Check Your Timeline

Frames are made to order, so it helps to know how much lead time you have.

  • Most orders ship within 1 week
  • No demolition or contractor scheduling required
  • Assemble and install in about 30 minutes

Standard Sizes Don't Always Fit

Not every mirror was installed to a standard dimension - and a stock-size frame can't account for that.

Odd Dimensions Rule Out Stock Sizes

Odd Dimensions Rule Out Stock Sizes

A mirror wider, narrower, taller, or shorter than typical sizes won't line up with a pre-set frame option.

Extra-Wide or Extra-Narrow Proportions

Extra-Wide or Extra-Narrow Proportions

A mirror spanning a double vanity, or a narrow half-bath mirror, often doesn't match the proportions stock frame kits are built for.

Tight or Unusual Spaces Add Constraints

Tight or Unusual Spaces Add Constraints

Alcoves, recessed walls, or mirrors set close to fixtures can limit which frame dimensions will actually fit.

Custom Framing Works Well When...

Custom sizing solves a dimension problem, not a condition problem.

Your Mirror Just Doesn't Match a Standard Size

  • Wider, narrower, taller, or shorter than typical stock sizes
  • Otherwise in good, framable condition
  • Rectangular or square shape

Tight Spaces or Unusual Proportions

  • Set into an alcove or between fixtures
  • Unusually narrow or wide for its height
  • Still a standard rectangular or square mirror

Better Suited to a New Framed Mirror

  • No existing mirror in place yet
  • Existing mirror too damaged to frame
  • You want a different size mirror, not just a frame for the one you have

If your situation matches the third card, see custom-size Framed Mirror options instead.

What to Expect

How Add A Frame Actually Fits Your Mirror

Most of what people worry about before ordering, mounting hardware, outlets, tight spacing, is already accounted for in how the frame is built and how orders are handled. Here's what actually happens.

How It Attaches

How It Attaches

The frame installs directly over your existing mirror using a strong double-sided adhesive, no drilling, no wall mounting. The frame typically extends about ⅜ inch beyond the mirror's edge on all sides. Here, the frame rests directly on a backsplash, the most common Add A Frame setup, so that side sits at zero clearance instead.

Corner Guides Take the Guesswork Out of Placement

Corner Guides Take the Guesswork Out of Placement

Because the adhesive only gives you one shot to place the frame correctly, corner guides mark the exact position first. Dry-seat the frame to check the fit, set the guides, hang the frame using them as a reference, then remove the guides once it's secure.

Obstructions Don't Rule Out a Frame

Obstructions Don't Rule Out a Frame

Outlets, switches, fixtures, or a backsplash near the mirror's edge don't disqualify a frame. When something's in the way, the frame is simply sized to sit inward on that side, full overhang everywhere else, no visible gap or slant where it counts. Electrical components should not be covered or modified without appropriate professional guidance.

Most Clips Are Fine, We Replace the Rest

Most Clips Are Fine, We Replace the Rest

Standard metal mirror clips sit comfortably behind the frame, the adhesive layer is thick enough to accommodate them without pushing the frame out or leaving a gap. If your mirror has bulky plastic clips that would interfere, we include slim replacement clips with your order, already handled, not something you need to solve yourself.

If you're ever unsure how your mirror's setup will work with a frame, send us a photo before ordering, we're glad to take a look.

HOW IT WORKS

From Your Mirror to a Finished Frame in Six Steps

The ordering process combines your frame selection with your mirror's dimensions and the surrounding conditions needed to produce a made-to-order frame.

  1. 1

    STEP 1

    Choose your frame

    Browse the available frame styles and finishes and select the option that best coordinates with your bathroom.

    Order finish samples when you need to compare colors in the room.

  2. 2

    STEP 2

    Measure the mirror

    Enter the mirror’s exact width and height using the measurement method provided in the ordering instructions.

    Do not rely on approximate dimensions or the dimensions of the wall opening.

  3. 3

    STEP 3

    Record all four clearances

    Measure the available space from each mirror edge to nearby walls, backsplashes, ceilings, trim, fixtures, and other obstructions.

    Each side can have a different available clearance.

  4. 4

    STEP 4

    Confirm mounting conditions

    Identify mirror clips and answer the compatibility questions about surrounding conditions before adding the frame to your cart.

    Contact Frame My Mirror before ordering when a condition is unclear.

  5. 5

    STEP 5

    Place your made-to-order frame

    Review the entered dimensions, selected finish, clearances, and compatibility answers before completing checkout.

    Made-to-order dimensions should be verified carefully before purchase.

  6. 6

    STEP 6

    Install the frame

    Follow the installation instructions to assemble and attach the frame over the perimeter of your existing mirror.

    Review the complete installation instructions before beginning.

Accurate measurements and compatibility information are essential because each frame is produced to the dimensions submitted with the order.

Common questions

Custom-Size Frames for Existing Mirrors

Can I get a frame for a mirror that isn't a standard size?

Yes! Every frame is made to your mirror's exact measurements.

What if my mirror is an unusual shape, not just an unusual size?

Add A Frame fits square and rectangular mirrors. If your mirror has an arched, angled, or custom-cut shape, a Framed Mirror replacement is the better option.

Is a custom size more expensive than a standard frame?

Every frame is made to order, so price scales with size rather than being a flat rate. If you're comparing against mass-produced standard-size mirrors from big-box retailers, we won't be the cheaper option - that's not what this product is built to compete on. What you're getting is a frame made to fit the mirror you actually have, without needing to find or settle for a stock size.

What if I don't have a mirror yet?
