- Measuring tape and pencil
- Drill and screwdriver

- Optional: Magnetic latch or soft-close hinges
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Step 1: Choose Your Mirror
Decide on the type of mirror:
- Hinged mirror: Works best for easy opening and closing.
- Adhesive mirror tiles: Best for lightweight installations but may not open easily.
Step 2: Prepare the Mounting Area
- Find a flat wall space in your bathroom or bedroom where you want hidden storage.
- Mark the area where the mirror will be installed.
- Use a stud finder if you’re attaching hardware for stability.
Step 3: Install Storage Baskets
- Choose slim wire baskets or storage containers that fit behind the mirror.
- Attach them using adhesive strips (for a damage-free option) or screws (for stronger support).
- Make sure they are evenly spaced and fit your toiletries.
Step 4: Attach the Mirror
Option 1: Hinged Mirror (Best for Easy Access)
- Use L-brackets or hinges on one side of the mirror to create a door-like function.
- Drill holes and secure the mirror with screws.
- Add a magnetic latch or soft-close hinges for smooth operation.
Option 2: Adhesive Mirror Tiles (Best for Lightweight Storage)
- Stick the mirror tiles directly onto a wooden board or cabinet door.
- Make sure the tiles align properly for a clean look.
Step 5: Test and Adjust
- Open and close the mirror to ensure the baskets are accessible.
- Make adjustments if needed to improve stability and usability.
Step 6: Organize and Hide
- Store small items like toothbrushes, razors, skincare products, and medicine.
- Close the mirror to keep everything hidden and organized.
