Using mirrors in design provides interesting lines and tricks the eye into thinking that a room is bigger than it actually is. That’s why mirrors are every designer and decorators best friend and secret weapon. They open up a space, bounce light in a new way, and frankly can be works of art in themselves.

Currently, circular mirrors stand out as a favorite of designers. The rounded edges provide flow to decor and their mid-century modern feel appeals to those interested in vintage aesthetics while still maintaining clean lines.

Spherical Sizing

If you have a large wall space you’d like to fill, an equally large round statement mirror would work as an accent to that wall perfectly. Otherwise, if you’d like to play with a gallery wall style, place a grouping of identical or differently sized mirrors for a fun display. You could even hang several mirrors on one line together to create a long, draping work of art for your wall.

Spiral Style

Within the circular mirror style, you have a lot of consideration when it comes to design. A favorite right now is a large circular mirror with little to no embellishments. It’s a minimalist approach and the clean lines end up stark even against the most eccentric of designs. You could also branch out and try mirrors with embellishments around the edges. Match your mirror’s framing or embellishment material to your other pieces of art or furniture, or contrast them to add layers of texture to your space. Some mirrors have interesting designs on the surface, like a rustic, vintage fading or cut inscriptions. This allows for interest within the reflection itself, which can add a beautiful and unique feel to the mirror you pick.

Circular Spaces

We love seeing designs that focus spaces around rounded mirrors. Using a wall-mounted, round mirror in a vanity setup looks lovely and provides customization for whatever space you have available. Some are even replacing their bathroom mirrors with these large, rounded mirrors, which is a great way to update your bathroom in an easy step.
