VIDEO OVERVIEW
For starters, mirrors can help brighten a room by reflecting decor and natural room light. Tip: Hang the mirror near or across a window to reflect an outdoor view and cheerful sunlight.
They can also help enlarge the appearance of a room space. Mirrors are especially useful in small rooms, where they give the illusion of more space. And, of course, they help you look your best when placed in a bathroom for grooming or makeup use.
Placement of Mirrors
Mirrors should be safe to use in the bathroom as long as the space does not have an excess build-up of steam or moisture. Place a mirror a few inches above the sink to lessen backsplash. Consider a mirror with built-in lighting if your bathroom is poorly-lit.
Above a living room or bedroom fireplace or mantel, the general rule is to hang at least 4 to 5 inches above the top of the mantel.
In an entryways or hall, place a mirror above a hall table to brighten the space and provide a quick way to check your appearance before leaving the house.
In a dining room, if your chandelier has exposed bulbs, light reflected in a mirror can be glaring. Consider using designs with antiqued glass to diffuse the light.
How to Hang a Mirror
Gather the right tools. Purchase screws and wall anchors separately. You will need a pencil, stud finder, level, and a screwdriver. Enlist the help of a second pair of hands to help you position the mirror.
Hanging Brackets
Brackets refer to the hardware attached to the back of the mirror. Most Lamps Plus mirrors come with hanging hardware already attached. Mirrors with all types of brackets can be hung using a wall anchor and a screw. There are four types of hanging brackets:
D-ring – This is the most common type of hanging bracket. It's mounted on the back of the mirror, a few inches from the top and sides.
Keyhole - Typically made of metal, a keyhole is embedded in the frame construction of the mirror.
Saw-tooth - The saw-tooth is the least common hanging bracket used on smaller designs.
Vanity style mirror brackets - With vanity style brackets, the mirror sits several inches off the wall surface and set in place with brackets that are part of the mirror itself.
