How To Hang A Vanity Mirror On The Wall

Hanging a vanity mirror on the wall can be a quick and easy way to update the look of your bathroom or bedroom. However, if you don't do it correctly, the mirror may not be level or secure, which could lead to an accident. Follow these steps for how to hang a vanity mirror and avoid encountering any of these problems.

1. Choose the Right Spot

The first step is to choose the right spot for your vanity mirror. You want it to be at a height where you can easily see your reflection, and it should be centered over the sink or vanity. Once you've chosen the spot, mark the location on the wall with a pencil.

2. Gather Your Tools

You will need the following tools to hang your vanity mirror:

Hammer
Screwdriver
Level
Pencil
Tape measure
Vanity mirror
Screws or nails (depending on the type of wall you have)
Anchors (if you have a drywall wall)

3. Mark the Holes

Using a level, make sure the mirror is straight, and then mark the locations of the holes on the wall. If you're hanging the mirror on a drywall wall, you will need to use anchors. To do this, drill a small hole where you marked the location of the hole, and then insert an anchor into the hole. Tap the anchor into the wall with a hammer until it is flush with the wall.

4. Drive in the Screws or Nails

Once you have marked the holes, it's time to drive in the screws or nails. If you're using screws, use a screwdriver to drive them into the wall. If you're using nails, use a hammer to tap them into the wall. Make sure the screws or nails are long enough to go through the mirror and into the wall.

5. Hang the Mirror

Once the screws or nails are in place, you can hang the mirror. Carefully lift the mirror and place it over the screws or nails. Press on the mirror to make sure it is secure.
