Mirrors are tricky. They have to be hung at just the right height; otherwise, you may see only a partial reflection of yourself. Have an average-size person stand in front of the mirror, and hold it up at an appropriate level, leaning it on a table or stool if necessary. Then decide where it should go. If you have a big mantel, it can hang horizontally over it. To ensure that you get the correct hardware, tell the person at the home-supply store what type of wall you have and how heavy the mirror is. Two hangers, one on each side, are better than one. If the mirror is backed with wood, look for Z clips; screw one strip into the wall and the other into the back of the mirror.
