The DIY hack quickly clocked up a league of new fans, accruing over 8000 likes and 200 comments.

'Mirror goals 👀' wrote one fan.
'I did this a while ago and it looks sooo good 😍' commented another who had cottoned onto the hack early.

The original post came from @themonochromhome, who revealed that they had created the look by spray-painting the mirror in black. 'I'm obsessed with this bargain mirror from @therangeuk it was initially white but I sprayed it black to tie in with the house and I absolutely LOVE it.'

Black industrial-style mirrors have become a coveted style featured in many stylist's homes. Similiar arch versions would usually set you back upwards of £100 at some of the best homeware stores such as Maison du Monde and Wayfair.
