Mirror & Picture Hanging: Project Planning
The front of a mirror or picture shows how it will look; the back helps determine how it can be hung. Brush & Bright provides mirror and picture hanging in Palatine, with attention to the item’s weight, its mounting points, and the wall condition. A single large mirror and a gallery of small frames need different preparation. Send photos of both sides of each item and the proposed wall, then describe the arrangement you want. Agreeing on the layout early helps keep the installation focused and avoids unnecessary holes caused by last-minute position changes.
Start with the hanging points and dimensions
Include the overall height and width, approximate weight, and a clear photo of the back of the frame or mirror. Identify any supplied cleat, brackets, wire, or other fittings without modifying them. A decorative frame is not automatically a suitable attachment point. Large mirrors and fragile items need their handling requirements considered as well as their support. Photograph the wall from a distance so nearby doors, switches, furniture, and corners are visible, and mention any unusual or delicate wall finish.
Resolve the layout before mounting
For a gallery wall, list the number of pieces and share an arrangement sketch or a photo of them laid out together. Decide whether the grouping should align with a sofa, hallway, console, or another feature. Spacing and the relationship between frames matter more than placing every individual center at the same height. If you want help reviewing the layout, include that in the request so the planning time is part of the scope. The final positions should be agreed before drilling.
Use the wall condition to set practical limits
A heavy mirror, a broad frame, and a small picture can require different support arrangements. Suitable hardware depends on the actual wall material and available attachment points. Old holes or previous anchors may not suit the new piece. Let us know if items are replacing an existing arrangement and whether the old holes should be repaired. This is a defined hanging service, not a promise to mount every item on every surface. An on-site assessment may be needed for unusually heavy, fragile, or awkward pieces.
