Lauren from The Lauren Jamison Collective created an absolutely beautiful DIY Anthropologie mirror dupe that looks just like the real thing.
You know that iconic gold Gleaming Primrose mirror everyone loves? Yep, that’s the one she tackled!
Lauren started with a basic large wall mirror from Target — super affordable and easy to find.
Then she used ornate wood appliques and decorative trim pieces from Amazon to mimic that fancy, vintage-inspired frame.
I love that she used Rub ‘n Buff in Antique Gold to get that gorgeous, rich gold finish that really makes the mirror pop.
She even added little floral details to the top corners to match the designer look.
And the best part?
The whole project cost a fraction of the original Anthropologie price tag!
Lauren mentioned that using construction adhesive made attaching the trim and appliques super easy.
Her tips for layering and distressing the gold finish really give it that high-end, antique vibe.
If you’ve been dreaming of that Anthropologie mirror but can’t justify the splurge, this is such a brilliant alternative!

What DIY’ers Are Saying
Sourcing Picture Frame Moulding
Many asked about where to find similar picture frame moulding, with suggestions to check local hardware stores like Lowe’s or Home Depot.
Sizing the Wood Frame for Stability
Others recommended making the wood frame slightly larger than the mirror for stability, especially when using mirror clips.
Dimensions of the Finished Mirror
Dimensions of the finished product were a common question, and knowing the mirror measured about 43”x73” helped potential DIYers plan ahead.
