Hanging a Mirror on Drywall

If you're hanging a mirror on drywall, you'll need to use anchors to support the weight of the mirror. To do this, drill a hole in the drywall slightly larger than the anchor. Insert the anchor into the hole and tap it in with a hammer. Then, screw the screw into the anchor. Once the anchor is secure, you can hang the mirror on the screw.

Hanging a Mirror on Concrete or Brick

If you're hanging a mirror on concrete or brick, you'll need to use a masonry drill bit to drill holes in the wall. Once the holes are drilled, insert the screws into the holes and tighten them with a screwdriver. Be sure to use screws that are long enough to penetrate the wall and support the weight of the mirror.

Hanging a Mirror with Adhesive

If you're hanging a small mirror that doesn't weigh very much, you can use adhesive to attach it to the wall. There are a variety of different types of adhesive that you can use, so be sure to choose one that is appropriate for the type of mirror and wall you're hanging it on. Follow the instructions on the packaging of the adhesive to apply it to the mirror and the wall.

Tips for Hanging a Mirror

Before you start hanging your mirror, make sure to measure the space where you want to hang it and mark the location of the screws with a pencil.
Use a level to make sure the mirror is hanging straight.
If you're hanging a heavy mirror, be sure to use screws that are long enough to support the weight of the mirror.
If you're hanging a mirror on a textured wall, you may need to use a different type of adhesive or anchor.
Once you've hung the mirror, step back and admire your work!
