How to Hang a Bathroom Mirror with Frame

Hanging a bathroom mirror with a frame may seem like a daunting task, but it can be done with ease by following a few simple steps. Whether you're giving your master bathroom a makeover or just want to upgrade your guest bathroom, this guide will help you achieve a professional-looking result.

Gather Your Tools

Before you begin, gather the necessary tools and materials:

Bathroom mirror with frame
Measuring tape or ruler
Level
Pencil
Screwdriver or drill
Wall anchors (if necessary)
Screws
D-rings or wire

Determine Mirror Placement

Use a measuring tape or ruler to determine the desired height and location of the mirror. Position the mirror on the wall and use a level to ensure it's straight. Mark the center point on the top of the frame using a pencil.

Mark Anchor Holes

Locate the two D-rings or wire at the back of the mirror frame. Measure the distance between the D-rings and mark two corresponding points on the wall, directly above the center point you previously marked.

Install Wall Anchors (Optional)

If the wall is plaster, drywall, or another soft material, it's recommended to use wall anchors to provide extra support. Drill holes at the marked points and insert the anchors.

Insert Screws

Insert the screws into the wall anchors or directly into the wall, ensuring they are long enough to securely hold the mirror. Leave approximately 1/8 inch of the screw exposed.

Attach Mirror

Hang the mirror on the screws by carefully aligning the D-rings or wire with the screw heads. Push the mirror upwards slightly to secure it in place.

Finishing Touches

Once the mirror is securely hung, use a level to verify it's still properly aligned. Wipe down the mirror and frame with a clean cloth to remove any smudges or dust.
