Hi,
I am trying to install a mirror in my hallway. On the other side of the wall is a bathroom and a closet. I have tried drilling two holes. The wall seems to consist of approximately 1.5 cm thick layer of what I guess is gypsum. After that, there's an empty layer approximately 1 cm thick. Beyond that, I am unsure. On the bathroom side of the wall, it seems to be some wood-like material.
On the closet side, I am unsure. It looks white. However, there are plastic plugs that have been successfully used on this side of the wall before. Maybe someone here recognizes these. I am attaching a picture.
I know nothing about different building materials and am generally confused. If anyone has tips on how I can proceed to understand what type of wall I am working with or has any tips in general, I would be very grateful.
Best regards,
Erik

Looks like drywall anchors, available in plastic and metal, with metal being preferred...

But they can't handle too much weight, so if the mirror is heavy this is a better option.
