Cut a hole in the sheet rock were you want it smaller then the mirror then reinforce with wood to make diffrent shelf’s you could line with sheet rock or just paint and leave it and put hinges on the mirror on the left side and a magnet on the right
Steve I hope this is what you are looking for. https://simplydesigning.porch.com/diy-framed-mirror-with-hidden-jewelry_21/
Buy a pre made medicine cabinet with a nice mirror ( There are beautiful ones at the big box stores ). Then find the studs, trace the back of the cabinet on the wall between the studs and cut out the drywall, slide it in and screw to the studs. The other way is more work but gives you greater choice in size. Find a mirror you love, could be a full size dressing mirror, cut out the drywall where you want it and finish the inside anyway you like with some shelves, hooks etc. Then you need to fix hinges on the mirror which might need wood added to the back and screw it into the stud.
This idea could be one that needs some planning but would be a great option. Good luck. :)
Frame out the mirror with wood to resemble a door and hinge to the studs.
