You can change There is to There's in each relevant sentence.Sentence # 2:Change bed room to bedroom.I'd write for sentence # 3:There's a single red bed (using one single is awkward).Sentence # 4:There's a mirror between the wall and the closet.Sentence # 5:A mirror is hanging on the wall , or,The mirror is hanging on the wall.

Please note -- if you say "a single red bed," it means "only one red bed." But if you say "a red single bed," it means "a red bed just big enough for one person."

I would say that "one single red bed" probably means "only one," (rather than "single-person-size"), but it could be ambiguous.
