Hello
I have a full length arch mirror that can be mounted but also needs to be leaning on floor. I think a great place for it in my smallish bedroom would be on the wall that is behind bedroom door when the door is open, it would fit nicely if I can work around couple things. #1 replacing bedroom door handles so does not hit the mirror when door is open and #2 the door clip thing at the bottom that holds the door open (what is that called?) - I'll need a different one that can hold door open so mirror fits behind. #3 is this wall okay being close to window etc etc ? There are studs on this wall so I thought I could make my own bracket with peice of wood mounted to studs and then mirror mounted to peice of wood.
Hi @Bell_1986
Is there room to mount the mirror on the door instead. So the mirror needs to touch the floor why? to tilt maybe? Just trying to see your plans I know you have your reasons.
Hey all good, it's not going to work. So I plan keeping where is I just need to raise my tv/ TV bracket. Which I have posted as is another project I'd really appreciate some advice on. Thanks ☺️
Hi @Bell_1986
Look at your tv wall bracket mark up the wall (pencil) how far you need it to go up It looks like approx 250mm from photos. make sure your mirror fits
Well your tv bracket i can see behind is sitting nicly on a vertical stud wall by the looks so you need to unscrew tv off its bracket (Take pictures of where the screws belong if that helps you for reassembly.) this maybe a two person job one to hold tv when loosened.
Undo your wall bracket move it verticaly up the wall exactly in line with the old holes so it still on the stud. and mark your new mounting holes Check your mirror fits now , predrill them with a smaller drill will help. or just use a cordless drill straight in If you miss the stud move it a bit and go again.
Remount your tv in the screw holes as per before.
The tv is on a stud you might be able to use same stud to mount mirror now you know where it is.
Dosnt that door stopper on skirting board stop the door hitting the mirror? if not simple way is to buy a cute sand filled door animal stopper behind the door against wall. or a brick wrapped in material,
It's great to hear you've found another arrangement, @Bell_1986.
