DIY Framed Mirror Closet Doors

A mirrored closet door reflects more light in your room while also adding some utility to the door itself. While you can purchase mirror door kits, you can also simply create your own. A mirrored closet door, even with an attractive frame around it, is a project that only requires time and a small amount of woodworking. Make your own mirrored closet door when you want to add a new touch to your bedroom decor.
