How to Hang a Mirror Above a Vanity

Adding a mirror to your vanity is a great way to complete the look of your bathroom or bedroom. But how do you hang a mirror above a vanity? It's not as difficult as you might think. Here are a few simple steps to help you get the job done right.

Materials You'll Need:

Mirror
Drill
Screwdriver
Level
Measuring tape
Pencil
Drywall anchors (optional)

Instructions:

1. Measure and mark the placement of the mirror.

Use a measuring tape to determine the height and width of the mirror. Mark the center point of the mirror on the wall above the vanity. Use a level to ensure that the mark is level.

2. Install the mounting hardware.

Most mirrors come with pre-installed mounting hardware. If your mirror does not have mounting hardware, you will need to purchase some. The type of mounting hardware you need will depend on the weight of the mirror and the type of wall you are hanging it on. For heavier mirrors, you may need to use drywall anchors.

3. Hang the mirror.

Once the mounting hardware is installed, you can hang the mirror. Carefully lift the mirror and align it with the marks on the wall. Gently push the mirror onto the mounting hardware.

4. Level the mirror.

Use a level to check if the mirror is level. If it is not, adjust the mounting hardware until the mirror is level.

5. Tighten the screws.

Once the mirror is level, tighten the screws on the mounting hardware. Be sure to tighten the screws firmly, but do not overtighten them.

6. Enjoy your new mirror!

Your mirror is now hung above your vanity. Step back and admire your handiwork!
