Large leaning mirrors are a particularly nice addition to a bedroom or walk-in closet as it allows you to have a good full look when you are trying on outfits. It is important that a leaning mirror is leaned securely against the wall, so that it does slide or fall over. This requires very little materials and can be done in a matter of minutes.
Step 1
Place mirror in desired position against the wall.
Step 2
Make a mark on the wall with the pencil at the center of the top of the mirror.
Step 3
Move the mirror away from its position and measure 2 inches down from the pencil mark and make another mark.
Step 4
Screw the wall anchor into the wall where you made the second pencil mark.
Step 5
Screw one end of the cable to the wall anchor.
Step 6
Reposition the mirror to its original location and screw the other end of the cable to the top of it.
