Mirror, mirror on the ... mirror? A wall covered with a large mirror can do wonders for increasing a light, bright feel and making a space look so much larger. But if that plain mirror seems a touch boring, layering a more detailed, artistic one on top could be just the thing your bathroom needs. Make sure to consult a professional about the best way to safely attach a mirror on top of another. No one wants seven years of bad luck.
If one mirror is good, isn't two better? We think so.

If you installed a huge slab of mirror in your bathroom decades ago and need an update, there's no need to rip out, patch and repaint. Hanging a beautiful focal-point mirror over the existing piece brings the look back to 2012.
While the soft curves of a round mirror can add a more delicate, feminine touch to a space, two rectangular mirrors make a masculine statement in this bath.
The frame of this mirror complements the vanity below perfectly, while the sconces add further interest.
An hourglass mirror in the center reflects onto the other surfaces in the room, creating a 3-D look.
Get a look similar to two mirrors by framing a window with mirrors. These beautiful antique mirrors reflect the light from outside, giving the whole room a golden glow.
In the absence of natural light, sconces and candlelight can create a warm feel. A gorgeous trumeau mirror works with the room's antique lighting for ultimate elegance.
If a Venetian mirror is too small to make a room feel as big as a full-length mirror can, get the same effect by layering it over a sheet of plain mirror.
More mirrors mean more glamour. The vanity, Venetian mirror and shimmering tiles in this bathroom complement one another for a truly statement-making look.

I have a very heavy, large mirror to hang on existing dining room floor to ceiling mirror. Does liquid nails work for certain weight limits? Any other ideas?
Think you should talk to a mirror installer to get some advice. Don't think liquid nails will do it. Maybe drill into mirror for proper hooks. ???
If the weight of the mirror in sitting on the floor the liquid nails is used to keep it upright against the walls there shouldnt be a problem, however you might consider a small piece of trim to extend across the top of the mirror or perhaps replace the molding that is already there with new on top of the edge of the mirror. You could also do the same for each side and the base molding. Just a thought.
