![]() Then it was time to secure the other end of the strap to the wall. So I was certain that this side of the strap would hold the mirror tightly in place. Because the plastic side is much larger than the metal opening, there is no way the plastic will slip through it. ![]() I then pulled the strap through the back portion of the metal mirror. I took off the “wall” side of the hardware, so I was left with the “furniture” hardware and the long white strap. It has 2 slots where you can mount the mirror to the wall with hardware, but since I like the “leaning look”, I didn’t want to secure the entire mirror to the wall. However, my mirror is metal and this is what the back looks like… If I was securing a piece of wood furniture (or a wooden mirror), I would just screw one side of the strap directly into the wood. Since I didn’t want my mirror sliding down…or falling from the top down…I figured these straps would get the job done! You’re supposed to use 2 straps for each item, and you then secure one side to the wall and the other directly into the piece of furniture. I found these furniture straps on Amazon, and after reading good reviews I popped them into my shopping cart. That way furniture won’t fall over and on top of a child if they try to climb up it. Often times these straps are used on the back of furniture to secure heavy pieces to the wall. How to Secure a Leaning Mirror to a WallĪfter doing a bit of research, I decided that the best way to secure a leaning mirror to a wall was with the same furniture straps that you would use to babyproof furniture around your home. Even though it’s pretty heavy, and it won’t slip on its own, I was so nervous that it might fall.Īfter a few days of being extra cautious around our bedroom addition, I decided I needed to figure out a way to secure this leaning mirror to our wall. ![]() Those first few days I was terrified that one of us would bump into it and it would come crashing down to the ground. The only thing I didn’t love about the mirror was the fact that it was in a walkway. The mirror faces a small window, so lots of light is bounced off of it and it illuminates the room. Yes, please!įinn & I set up the mirror on the wall in our bedroom closest to our master bathroom and we were immediately smitten. So not only did I now have spacefor a full-length mirror in our bedroom…but I was getting a FREE mirror. What a score! Since they obviously didn’t need two of the exact same mirror in their home, I asked if I could have the extra one for our space. When Ryan and Sarah had the mirror shipped from CB2, the company accidentally sent them two mirrors! After calling to tell the company, they told them to just keep it instead of shipping it back. The sleek black, the hint of brass, the size…all absolute perfection.īut here’s the best part. Everyone went gaga over this mirror and I can see why. Now, I have my own full-length leaning mirror (from CB2, but no longer sold) in our bedroom and I couldn’t be more excited about it! You’ll recognize this mirror as the same one that I used in the design of my brother’s master bedroom. My jewelry cabinet gave you a glimpse of your hips down, and the mirror in the bathroom got the hips up…so I had to envision how outfits looked together all at once. I’ve always wanted a full-length mirror in our bedroom because there is no place in our home to get a full look at your outfit from head to toe. I love the new setup and I was really excited because it left me with more space in our bedroom…space for a leaning mirror. I got rid of my mirrored jewelry cabinet and instead swapped it out for a sleek jewelry drawer. Last week, I shared my new jewelry setup.
