How to hang this mirror on your wall

Feeling this TikTok trend? There are a few ways you can go about hanging mirrors on your wall (opens in new tab). Determining the best option comes down to what you feel comfortable doing (are you an avid DIYer or prefer leaving things to the experts?) and what your landlord or contract says is okay. 

You'll also want to double-check the type of mirror you have and if it already has hardware built in. If it's heavy, a more sturdy hanging method is needed. For lightweight mirrors (like the one above), you can often get away with using adhesive strips. Here are a few choices, with the first being the most renter-friendly.

  • Adhesive strips: Lightweight mirrors can often be hung with just a few good adhesive strips, as proven by the TikTok trend. This method doesn't involve any hammers or drilling (phew).
  • Mirror clips: These are best for frameless mirrors and involve drilling holes through the clips to properly fasten the mirror to the wall. Just ensure that you're allowed to drill and create holes in the wall of your space before you start.
  • Screws and drywall anchors: Mirrors with frames can be installed in a wall with the use of a drill, screwdriver, screws, and a level. Like mirror clips, anchor it'll safely secure heavier mirrors to the surface.

Time to get some supplies. After picking out your preferred mirror hanging method, shop the following buys for making it happen. Your TikTok-approved mirror wall is just within reach.
