I was shopping at Ikea one day looking for their cheapest wall hanging mirror for my minimalist vanity in my bedroom. I wanted the smallest, sleekest, and cheapest mirror I could find. I didn’t want anything fancy or overdesigned. But what I did find were a few mirrors with awkward prices and sizes that wouldn’t work in the space I had in mind (and of course, there were a ton of 5 feet long decorative mirrors that were all sold out). Frustrated and hopeless, I ended up making my own DIY Mirror Stand.
Have you ever wanted to hang your full-length mirror on the wall, but were concerned about the ugly hooks? I certainly have. Luckily for me and for anyone else wanting to avoid holes on the wall, there’s a DIY mirror stand that will do just as good of a job as an expensive one normally would, and it’s free—you just need to know what material to use. Check out some amazing DIY mirror stand projects below.
