Latest Designer Bathroom Ideas and How To Guides for your Home

It may seem like a simple task, but knowing where and how to hang your bathroom mirror will be vital in ensuring you get the most out of it and the most out of your bathroom.

If you are lucky enough to have plenty of natural light in your bathroom, it is recommended to get the mirror as close to the window as you can. It is a well known fact that fluorescent bulbs and other indoor lighting devices don’t give off the right strength of light and when you are applying make-up, or the mirror is being used for shaving, you will need a good light source.

Of course, the majority of bathroom mirrors will hang over the basin, but if you do find that there is not enough natural light in that area, it is worthwhile hanging a second mirror closer to the window. Also highly recommended for any small bathroom is to fit a second larger mirror, which will be a great way to give the perception of extra space.

Although hanging a bathroom mirror seems fairly straightforward, not doing it correctly can result in a small catastrophe. No matter what the size of your mirror it is always best to use strong wall plugs that will allow fixing screws to be fitted into the wall as securely as possible.

If you are faced with a larger mirror that you want to hang on a hollow stud-work wall, it will be necessary to use specially designed plugs that will open up on the inside of the wall to allow secure fixing.
