Hey @jonson — great question!

If you’re thinking of building your own smart mirror setup, you can actually make it look a lot cleaner and more “custom” by framing it with cut-to-size MDF panels or lightweight boards. That gives you a sleek finish and lets you easily mount LED strips or smart controllers behind the frame.

For example, at MDF Direct, you can get MDF boards cut to your exact measurements — ideal for mirror frames, wall panels, or even bathroom cabinetry. If you want a moisture-resistant option, their moisture-resistant MDF is a solid choice for bathroom environments.

Pairing that with a two-way mirror (as @sdetweil mentioned) and a smart LED controller gives you the perfect mix of tech and design.

Hope that helps, and good luck with your smart mirror build!
