How To Hang A Big Bathroom Mirror

How to Hang a Big Bathroom Mirror Like a Pro

Hanging a large bathroom mirror can seem like a daunting task, but it doesn't have to be. With the right tools and a few simple steps, you can have your new mirror up in no time.

Step 1: Gather your tools

You will need:

A tape measure
A level
A pencil
A drill
Screws or anchors (depending on the type of wall you have)
A screwdriver
A hammer
A helper (optional)

Step 2: Measure and mark the wall

Use the tape measure to determine the height and width of the mirror. Mark the center of the mirror on the wall with a pencil.

Step 3: Level the mirror

Hold the level against the bottom of the mirror and adjust the height of the mirror until it is level. Mark the top of the mirror on the wall with a pencil.

Step 4: Drill the holes

Use the drill to drill holes into the wall at the marks you made in step 3. The holes should be slightly smaller than the diameter of the screws or anchors you are using.

Step 5: Insert the screws or anchors

If you are using screws, simply screw them into the holes you drilled. If you are using anchors, insert the anchors into the holes and then screw the screws into the anchors.

Step 6: Hang the mirror

Lift the mirror onto the screws or anchors. If you are hanging a large mirror, you may need a helper to hold the mirror while you screw it in.

Step 7: Enjoy your new mirror!

Step back and admire your handiwork. You've now successfully hung a large bathroom mirror like a pro.

Tips:

If you are unsure about the weight of the mirror, err on the side of caution and use more screws or anchors.
If you are hanging the mirror on a tile wall, use a tile drill bit to prevent the tiles from cracking.
If you are hanging the mirror on a plaster wall, use anchors to ensure that the mirror stays securely in place.
Once the mirror is hung, use a level to make sure that it is still level. If it is not, adjust the screws or anchors until it is.
