Now, you’ve chosen your wall mirror, how exactly do you secure it onto your wall?

According to the experts at Better Homes and Gardens, preparation is the key to hanging a mirror. Using these simple tips and tricks, you will be able to set up your mirror in no time.

Get your tools ready, including a pencil, measuring tape, drill and screwdriver, wall anchors and a hammer.

Determine your mirror's weight and see if it has mounting hardware attached to its back.

Identify the type of wall you have. Is it plasterboard, brick or some other construction? This will influence how you mount your mirror.

Choose a place to hang your mirror and mark its edges or corners with a pencil or tape.

For heavy mirrors, find a stud in the wall using a stud finder tool. With a drill, drive two fastener screws onto the studs.

Drape the mirror's hanging wire across the screws and let the mirror hang.

Make sure your mirror is at eye level and in a spot where it has room to spare.

The instructions for mounting your mirror will vary based on the retailer, so make sure you check them out before you get started. When you have completed the setup, sit back and relax and enjoy your stunning new mirror.
