Custom acrylic mirrors are a perfect way to personalize your space — whether you’re decorating a bedroom, studio, or salon. But if you’re renting or simply want to avoid drilling holes, this guide will show you how to install your mirror without damaging your walls.
Our mirrors come with everything you need: adhesive backing and optional Damage-Free Adhesive Hooks & Strips (3M Command style). Here’s how to do it safely and easily.
🔧 What You’ll Need:
- Your custom mirror from custom-mirror.com
- Adhesive backing (already applied)
- Optional: Command hooks & strips (included for free)
- Clean cloth
- Measuring tape or ruler
- Pencil or painter’s tape (for alignment)
🪞Method 1: Adhesive Backing (Pre-Applied)
Best for: Smooth walls, clean surfaces, permanent setup
✅ Step-by-Step:
- Clean the wall surface
Wipe the area with a clean cloth to remove dust, grease, or residue. - Peel off the adhesive liner
Our mirrors come with strong adhesive tape on the back. Carefully peel off the protective film. - Align your mirror
Use a pencil or painter’s tape to mark your desired placement. - Stick and press firmly
Once aligned, press the mirror onto the wall for at least 30 seconds with even pressure. - Wait before adjusting
Give it 1–2 hours to fully bond. Avoid moving or repositioning during this time.
🪝Method 2: Damage-Free Hooks & Strips (Included)
Best for: Rental homes, delicate wall paint, temporary setups
✅ Step-by-Step:
- Clean the wall surface
Just like with adhesive, clean the area where the hooks will go. - Apply the Command strips/hooks
Follow the instructions on the 3M-style packaging — usually, it involves pressing the strip to the wall and then applying the hook. - Attach the mirror
Place the mirror over the hooks or strips and gently secure. - Check for stability
Let it settle and make sure it’s secure before walking away.
🛑 Safety Tips:
- Do not install on rough, uneven, or wet surfaces.
- Avoid hanging mirrors above beds or couches unless extra-securely mounted.
- Test a small patch of your wall first if you’re unsure about the adhesive.
💡 Pro Tip:
Use a level or smartphone leveling app to ensure your mirror is straight — especially for shaped designs like the Divine Feminine Mirror or GTA CD Mirror.
