How To Install Ikea Wall Mirror

The IKEA Stockholm mirror has 2 little eyelets on the back off to the left and right. One way to hang the mirror is to measure the distance between the eyelets and put nails/screws precisely lined up with the eyelets. This seems like a recipe for lots of mistakes. I found another solution. The basic idea is to hang the mirror from a wire that stretches across the back of the mirror on a single hook. ContentsStep 1 – Gather the materials.Step 2 – Attach the D-rings to the mirror.Step 3 – Loop the wire/twine through the D-rings.Step 4 – Nail the picture hook to the wall.Step 5 – Hang the wire/twine on the picture hook. Attaching the D-rings to the mirror is the best part! D-rings generally come with wood screws to screw into picture frames. We won’t be using these wood screws. Instead, you’ll need the 2 screws and nuts. The mirror is hung off the head of the screws. The nuts secure the screw to the D-ring. After both D-rings are secured to the mirror eyelets, loop the wire/twine through both D-rings.

Knot the ends of the wire/twine together. I used a double fisherman’s knot. The mirror is ready to be hung, but first you’ll need to nail the picture hook to the wall. Find a stud in your wall, and nail the picture hook into the stud.Hang the mirror by the wire/twine from the picture hook. The mirror will center itself out and hang centered on the picture hook.

Home.Wall mirrors are great for opening up small rooms and tight spaces to warmth and light. So today Im going to show you how to hang a frameless wall mirror that has a one-inch beveled edge on it.Materials NeededFor this project, you will need:A frameless wall mirror with 1 inch beveled edgesWall mirror mounting bracketsA number 2 pencilDrywall anchor bolts or screws (that are weighted to hold up to 20 pounds)A phillips head screw driverA hammerA measure tapeA long skinny flat head nailSetting your Mirror's LocationFirst, lift your mirror up to where you want to mount it on the wall and get it squared up. Next, using your number 2 pencil, outline the top, bottom, and side edges of where you want the mirror to hang. Take the mirror back down and rest it against a different wall.Aligning your BracketsWith your measure tape, make two marks on both the top and the bottom of where the mirror will hang - just about a third of the way in from the left and right edge marks.

Next, line up your brackets at each of the marks and use your number 2 Pencil to mark the holes where each of the brackets will screw into the wall. Testing your Wall StrengthSince larger mirrors can be especially heavy and break easily, you need to figure out if there is a wood stud behind the drywall or just air before mounting it. To figure this out, take your nail and hammer it into the center of your drill hole marks. Hammer the nail into the drywall just about half way in. If you hit a wood stud behind the wall, you'll notice the nail suddenly becoming more difficult to hammer in. In this case, you would only need a screw and not an anchor bolt. But, if the nail easily punches into the drywall with very little resistance, then youre going to need to use an anchor bolt for that hole so your mirror doesnt fall off the wall. Hammering your AnchorsNow that we've determined where we need an anchor bolt and where we only need a screw – lightly hammer one anchor into the holes where you have drywall only until the anchor is flush with the surface of the wall.

Hanging your BracketsNext, using your Philips head screwdriver, line up your bracket with the screw hole and screw in the screws for each of the brackets on the bottom of where the mirror will hang. Screw each screw in, just about three-quarters of the way. Mirror HangingSlide your mirror down into the brackets so the mirror is flush against the wall and line up to where you want it. Line up the brackets with the screw holes for the top of the mirror. Using your Phillips head screwdriver, screw each of the other two brackets into the wall, double checking that each of the brackets clamp over the top of the mirror evenly. Tighten down the bottom two bracket screws the rest of the way.So there you have it! A beautiful new frameless wall mirror to open up your home!Thank you for watching!
