How to Hang a Mirrored Wall in Your Home

Make your home feel larger by adding a Mirrored Wall. Below is the step by step tutorial on how to make a mirror wall.

I love my new house, but there are still a lot of blank empty walls that I need to do something with.  

Around the time that we moved in, I found boxes of 12 x 12 inch mirrors on clearance for $7.  Each box had 6 mirrors, that’s just over a $1 each!  I bought 4 boxes.  

There were several ideas spinning around my head but late one night I decided to hang them in my bathroom.

This was my current bathroom mirror situation.

Yup. That is pretty sad and pathetic. I can do way better than that!

  • Level

How to Make a Mirror Wall:

The first step was to make sure that the wall I wanted to put the mirrors on was actually straight against the door frame and floor, and I used a level for that.

Whew! It is, so that made things a whole lot easier.  

That means that I could simply line up the mirror tiles along the baseboard and door frame.  (The door leads into my closet if you are curious.)

If your baseboards aren’t level, move the bottom row of mirror tiles up a couple of inches to where you won’t notice the difference, and begin your mirror wall there.

The Scotch Mounting Squares are double-sided and I placed one in each corner of the mirror tile.

Applying one tile at a time, peel the backings of the mounting squares and press the mirror tile onto the wall.

Working from the bottom up, I added my mirrored tiles.

The next six are up.  It is looking cool already!

The whole project took about an hour, which is good because it was about 1 in the morning when I started.

After all of the tiles were up, the wall looked awesome! I am couldn’t help but think to myself how amazing I am, even though I am pretty sure I am not the first person to ever hang mirrors on their wall.

Then I noticed something…

The toilet is right across from the mirror!

All of my kudos and pats on the back went away.  Oops!  Why didn’t I notice that before?

OOh well.  Now I just have a better view of hubby when he is in the shower!  See you can turn anything into a positive!

When you make a mirror wall please share a photo! We would love to see it.

Materials

  • 12-inch Mirror Tiles
  • Indoor Mounting Squares

Tools

  • Level

Instructions

  1. Using a level, decide where you want the bottom row of your mirrored wall to begin. If your baseboards are level this is an easy place to start. If the baseboards are not level or you are hanging the mirrors higher up on the wall, use the level, and draw your baseline for the bottom row you can build up from.
  2. Place a double-sided mounting square in each corner of each mirror tile.
  3. Applying one tile at a time, peel the backings of the mounting squares and press the mirror tile onto the wall. Working from the bottom up.

      Hi! I’m a renter but would love to do this project . Are the adhesives you used removable?

        Yes, they are permanent. They need to be so they can hold the heavy mirror. Depending on the size and weight of the mirror squares you could probably find some removable mounting squares. Just pay attention to their weight limit.

          When I purchased the mirrors they were on clearance, so it doesn’t surprise me that they no longer carry them. I did find some equivalents they just aren’t as cheap.

          I hope that helps!

    Hi Katie! I would love to do this in my apartment bedroom. I have one question, though! In the last (hilarious) photo, the reflection looks a bit distorted… Am I correct? I just want a smooth finished product; a distorted reflection would just drive me nuts! I hope for your honest feedback. 🙂 Thank you for the great idea!

      Since the wall is made up of several smaller mirrors you can get a bit of a distorted reflection. If you wanting more of a solid reflection you would probably want to go with a larger one piece mirror.

    I have to laugh because we have a large mirror in our bathroom that is in the same spot…across from the toilet. We have been trying to figure out how to get rid of it, without damaging the wall. Unlike you, they glued the sucker to the wall. Maybe a curtain to cover it. I don’t know, but I have had some strange conversations with guests after their first use of our bathroom, lol.

      oh no! LOL That is too funny. I would definitely feel more weird about it if it was a bathroom that guests use.

    I love this wall! I think i’d even attempt this and add crown Moulding to make it look like the wall came that way. I’m definately Inspired!

    How did you keep the mirrors from falling down? In the past, I used mounting tape and mirrors but they came off the wall and shattered! So, thinking that mounting tape wouldn’t work I recently put together 6 mirrors on a thin wooden board with hot glue. Super hot glue. Works too well. One broke and I had to replace it. Took an hour to break and pull up all shards from hot glue and wood splintered it was so adhered. Anyway my project is not working out. The replacement mirror is a tiny bit too wide for the space and I’m so frustrated. Looking at your project and how easy it was I am wondering if there was a way with mounting tape after all!?

      I am sorry you are having problems with your mirror tiles, Hannah. I used the 3M Scotch Indoor Mounting Squares (Affiliate Link – http://amzn.to/2a00ulq) and I haven’t had any problem with the sticking. I put one square in each corner of the tile. I hope that helps

    The mirror squares were sold as decor in the 70s. My grandma has a bedroom wall still in her house. They had adhesive and you pressed them on the wall. I remember when she did It as I was there. Good revival.

    Hi Katie! I wonder if you’re still checking this! I have a question. I love your idea, but I have textured walls, and I don’t think the scotch squares will adhere. Do you have any recommendations for my situation? Should I stick em up with caulk? Or grout? Or glue?

    Reply

      August 29, 2017 at 8:19 am

      Hi Sophy! Great question! The wall I put my mirrors on do have a texture as well and the scotch squares are still holding strong. You could definitely use a caulk but that will make the mirror wall much more permanent.

        Really? Okay, I’ll give the squares a shot then! I’ll let you know if it turns out. Thanks again for the help. 🙂

    I had a similar situation with a toilet and a mirror opposite and similar walls, ie your wall goes up to the ceiling on both sides. Easy-pease. Mounted a heavy duty shower STALL spring rod between the two walls and hung a curtain. Instant privacy and no more bad reflections.

    A solution to seeing the toilet (and yourself on the toilet) is add a tension rod across that space and make a cute curtain…adds privacy and even more character

      Yes, you can! If your walls are textured the vinyl won’t stick as well, but you can totally apply vinyl to walls!
