Before we get into the nitty-gritty of installation:
Did you know? Not all mirrors are designed for use as a bathroom vanity.
Let's answer this by explaining how our Edge LED Illuminated Mirror is designed to work in a bathroom.
First, it comes with a heated WC and demister pad. The pad heats the mirror to keep it crystal-clear in a steamy bathroom.
So you can start your skincare and beauty routine immediately after showering. You don’t have to wait for the moisture to evaporate or create a streaky mess trying to wipe it off.
Second, it’s splash-proof for a consistently clear reflection.
Third, it has an infrared touch sensor installed underneath. To switch it on, just wave your hand below the mirror.
What’s more, if you want to avoid electrical installation, we’ve got a battery-operated LED bulb lighting option for you — ROHS certified for your safety.
Without further ado, here are the steps for installing your bathroom vanity mirror.
First and foremost, decide on the wall where you’re going to hang (or place) your purchase. Choose a wall with ample lighting and space to incorporate storage.
Also, capitalise on space by adding drawers and shelves around your vanity. That’ll help you organise your beauty and self-care necessities. These include an essentials basket plus makeup, hair, and skin products.
The best wall to hang your purchase is one where you can also add storage. So let’s see which wall works best and why.
Drywall is made of compact solid wood or stone. Whereas a hollow wall contains dead space behind it.
Therefore, you can drill anywhere on drywall and hang the vanity mirror in any position you like.
But with a hollow wall, you’ll need to do a bit more work to get a firm anchor.
In short, you can hang the vanity mirror on either wall but drywall is better. Drywall gives you the ability to hang storage around your mirror and involves less work.

What’s more, you can leave your phone number at checkout for added convenience. Our courier will send you a text message with a time slot so you know when to expect your delivery.
Below is a list of the things that you should expect in your delivery:
First, remove everything from the box and place the glass on a soft surface (such as a carpet) so it doesn’t break. Then grab the other materials and set them aside for later.
Be sure to go through the manual to confirm that you have all the necessary accessories.
The next step is to determine the exact position where you’ll hang your new mirror.
Note: You need to take lots of measurements. Grab a notebook to write them down so you can be precise.
The first tools you need are a measuring tape and a pencil or marker.

Keep in mind that you’ll need to measure both the mirror and the wall.
The next marking you’ll make is where the cord attaches to the wall.
Note: This is where you’ll fix the hook to hold the cord.
Or if you’re using a tabletop design:
Now, this step depends on the type of mirror you’ve purchased. Some of our mirrors come with inbuilt lighting while others are packaged with bulbs for you to attach.
We use energy-efficient LED bulbs to promote environmental conservation. This also improves our compliance with the health and safety regulations of the United Kingdom.
Note: You’re making an energy-saving purchase by choosing Hollywood Mirrors.
The Crystal Pro Mirror is one example that has fixed LED lighting. It features crushed sparkle crystals that make up the white lighting around the mirror.
Hint: To control the brightness, all you need to do is adjust the dimmer switch.

Below is a list of vanity mirrors you can use in your bathroom that come with separate light bulbs to attach.
Here is how you attach the bulbs:
Note: This figure determines how far apart you’ll align the bulbs along the edge of the mirror.
The result should appear as below.

Remember: Sufficient natural white light is recommended for your beauty routines. And luckily for you, that’s just the kind of lighting emitted by our Hollywood Mirror bulbs.
The last step is to hang the mirror on the wall.
To do so, you’ll need to drill the holes where the mounting hook will attach. As we’ve discussed earlier, the process differs depending on the wall you’re working with.
It’s easy and straightforward on drywall:
Conversely, here’s how to install your mirror on a hollow wall:
The disadvantage, in this case, is that your preferred position may have no timber framing. Subsequently, that may force you to move the mirror or follow the steps below.
Note: Don’t push the screw entirely into the wall. Make sure to leave a few millimetres so that you’ve got enough space to hang the cord.
If your bathroom has a lot of counter space, try out one of the free-standing mirrors listed above.
The installation process is similar to setting up your mirror on a dressing table:
Finally, step back to confirm that you like the mirror’s position and make adjustments if needed.
