A HOME stylist has shared how she created a huge statement mirror using some cheap items from IKEA.
And if you’ve got a blank space to fill in your home, you might want to listen up.
Interior consultant Anna Hoban, who shares her hacks for creating stylish rooms with her 550,000 followers, shared the hack on her TikTok page OurHomeStyle.
She began by painting a large black rectangle in her hallway, which she left to dry for 24 hours, to act as a base for her statement piece.
Anna then began lining up and glueing 30 x 30cm IKEA mirrors with a small gap between each, until the space was completely full.
The stylist used 24 of the small mirrors – currently on sale at £7 for 4 – meaning the huge statement piece cost just £42 to make.

The final result was a stunning, huge mirror nearly 2 metres tall.
And since each smaller mirror comes with special sticky pads to fasten it to the wall, you don’t even need to splash out on glue!
It’s the perfect way to spruce up a “big blank wall”, Anna wrote.
Even better, because the mirrors are so lightweight and come with specific sticky pads, there’s “no damage to your walls” when you remove them, she added.

The video quickly racked up 49 million views, with users in disbelief that they could create such an expensive-looking piece on a tight budget.
“Did this last week,” commented one, “looks fab and brightens up a very dark hallway.”
“Need an Ikea trip!” added another. “I wanna do this.”
“They add the wow factor!!!” a third said.
Not everyone was entirely convinced about the placement, however.
Some users pointed out in the comments that it’s often seen as bad luck to place mirrors facing the stairs.
“I would fall down the stairs thinking I saw a demon behind me,” wrote one spooked user.
