Can you hang leaner mirrors

After hanging the mirror I decided to go ahead and finish painting the back of her door. Until now most black doors in the house are still white on the opposite side. Just adding this fancy mirror is making her room look so much prettier.

I proudly buy clothing at Costco. I looove those cleats. They make it much easier to hang a group of items exactly level, too. Nice mirror! I bought a scrapbook armoire that can hang on the wall but it already weighs 35 lbs empty. I live in a modular home so I am leery of hanging a heavy item. Can you buy those wall anchors at Home Depot or are they online only? I trust your opinion and would be willing to try both the anchors and cleat if you think they would hold the weight.

I used a slightly larger version of those hangers a. French cleats to suspend floating Ikea Malm nightstands on each side of our extra-tall master bed. They work great and hold rock solid! We also used that same hanger system, but more heavy duty to hang out headboard in the master bedroom!

The tool was placed at an angle and worked perfectly to mark the spot for the location of our first screw. Our mirror weighed 20 lbs, making the screws more than adequate. I then had someone help me hang the mirror by placing the D-rings on the screws.

I used a small level to make sure it was hanging perfectly straight before putting my tools away. Ta da! The mirror we purchased came with a kit, and most big pieces of furniture will too.

I know Ikea has a program where you can get them for free for their dressers. There are also a few charities or programs that give them out for free. These are actually our favorite kits to use and I need to order some more.

Another online resource is Safe and Sound with Amaya. Or, if requesting those free ones seems like too much trouble or you need a bunch at one time, they are super affordable from Amazon and can be on your doorstep in days, right? Or the zip tie style we prefer. Have you anchored big things to the wall in your home? Skip to content. June 26, January 8, Melissa. Our fireplace is a cast cement surround that is attached to the wall with adhesive and a few screws. The thought of a huge mirror getting knocked down on someone or falling down from the surround collapsing was too much for me.

Completely attaching it to the wall was the only safe option. Now that you know how to hang a heavy floor mirror on the wall you have more options!

Here are some large mirrors that would look great over a fireplace. I also included a shorter version of ours if you love it but something smaller. Also, some of these come in multiple colors! Love, Love, Love this new mirror and look. You have to see it in person, pictures do not tell the effect ot has on the room. It reflects so many things from the living room windows view of the outside to the Juliet balcony over the kitchen entry.

It give the room more depth and height. Then from the balcony upstairs it reflects so much of the living room that it carrys the view upstairs and keeps connection between the 2 rooms.
