Some areas of the home are much harder to access than others, and that includes the bathroom.

This can make it difficult to complete projects like replacing a broken toilet seat or installing a new mirror. If you’re looking for an easy way to spruce up your bathroom, try installing a mirror. Mirrors offer an inexpensive way to bring light into dark bathrooms and create visual interest in otherwise boring spaces.

This article will go over some tips for installing a mirror in the bathroom, including how to measure for one, where to buy one, what type of screws you’ll need, and how to hang it on your wall.

With these helpful hints and tricks, you can install your new mirror with ease!

#1. Measure the space where the mirror will go before starting work

The length of each side of the mirror should be equal to or less than three times its width (a 3×3 square). For example, if you want a two a two-foot mirror, measure out four feet from both sides and add another six inches for safety.

#2. Tools

If possible, use an electric drill with a guide bit so that all holes line up perfectly. This is especially important when drilling into plaster walls because they can warp over time due to moisture in the air. Use masking tape around the edges of mirrors and any other items that might get damaged during installation; this way, there won’t be any damage done at all. Use screws instead of nails whenever possible.

#3. Nails and Screws 

Nails can quickly come loose after years of use or even just from normal wear and tear on your wall mount hardware itself. Screws are also easier to remove later if necessary without damaging anything else in your home or office space!

Use a level when drilling into walls and floors. If you’re using screws, use the same size as your wall or floor. This will help ensure that the mirror is perfectly straight and evenly spaced from side to side. If you have an extra-wide mirror, make sure it fits in its frame without gaps.

#4. Measuring the width of the frame

If you have an extra-wide mirror, make sure it fits in its frame without gaps. The best way to do this is by measuring the width of the frame on both sides of the mirror and then using two pieces of wood (or cardboard) to create a template for how wide it should be.

Then cut out each piece with a jigsaw so that they fit together perfectly around your new mirror! Make sure that the mirror is securely fastened to the wall.

Conclusion:

If possible, use an extra-large mirror as opposed to a smaller one. Extra-large mirrors can be hard to fit into small spaces because they take up more room than standard ones. However, this also means that they will look better and have a more significant visual impact when placed in front of your furniture or other items in your home or office space. Use wood glue instead of nails for mounting mirrors onto walls. Wood glue is much stronger than nails and won’t damage the paint job on the wall behind it like nailing would do.
