Round Mirrors: Adding Soft Curves to Your Decor

What are Round Mirrors?

Round mirrors have recently gained extensive popularity and we believe they are here to stay. They bring balance and symmetry to any space while also enhancing the flow of natural light. The circular design of the mirror represents wholeness, unity, and infinity.

These mirrors come in various sizes and frame designs. They can be hung in bedrooms, bathrooms, and entryways as a beautiful centrepiece that is also functional.

In any room, round mirrors can be used as an eye-catching focal point. Carefully positioning these mirrors in front of a window or a lamp can make even the smallest spaces feel brighter and bigger due to the mirror's reflective properties. 


Where is the Best Place to Put a Round Mirror?

Round mirrors are a great statement piece for any space due to their versatility, allowing for endless decorating possibilities. In the living area or the foyer, it can be placed above a hallway table to create that focal point for your area. In a bedroom, it could be placed above a dresser or a vanity table to make your dressing area look more beautiful. It can be used as a stationary mirror in the bathroom, adding both practicality and style.

What are the Benefits of Using Round Mirrors in Home Decor?

  • Make a room look bigger and brighter - Unlike the traditional rectangular and square, the round mirror design visually expands the area, giving it more depth and making smaller spaces look bigger. By strategically placing mirrors in a room, you can make the space look brighter. The curved edges of the mirrors will reflect light throughout the interior. 
  • Making a statement - Having a statement round mirror will help soften the room's aesthetic as it has no sharp edges. They work well with a variety of design themes, ranging from contemporary to classic, or simplistic to artistic, thus offering flexibility to your design.
  • Timeless charm - Round mirrors are a classic that never goes out of style. You won’t need to worry about occasionally changing your mirror, as it blends well with both traditional and modern designs.


Why are Custom Mirrors the Go-To Option?

Customisation is always a good way to go about it because it lets you give your design piece a personalised touch. When you customise a round mirror, you have the option to have the mirror cut to size and choose a desired frame type to match your space. You could also go frameless for a more modern look, depending on the design style of your space. 

Whether it’s a small vanity or a living room, custom mirrors fit every location perfectly. You will be able to coordinate your mirror with the rest of the design elements in your room with this option.


You are part of every step of the process. This way, you can ensure that the materials used for the frame and mirror are of the highest quality. Customisation gives you more choices and control over your design. This makes it unique and reflects your style.
