Round Mirrors

Round Mirrors

Round mirrors have a distinct presence in contemporary design. The shape creates a soft contrast to the linear elements in a room and contributes to a more balanced structure. By reflecting light, the mirror helps to create spaciousness and a feeling of a larger and brighter home.

Choosing a round mirror is about finding the right proportions. The size is important for the mirror to interact well with its space. In the living room, a large round mirror often becomes a focal point above a chest of drawers or a sofa. As a reference, a diameter of 80 cm can work well above a smaller piece of furniture, while larger round mirrors with a diameter of 120 cm or more are suitable for filling a wall surface in a large room. Mirrors in different shapes and different sizes make it possible to create a dynamic surface. We offer many mirrors that are suitable for creating a visual balance regardless of the room.

Round Mirrors Compared to Angular Shapes

A round mirror provides a softer and more organic expression than rectangular and square models. Angular shapes emphasize lines and symmetry and are suitable when you want to create direction or reinforce the room's architecture. The round mirror instead functions as a central element that breaks straight edges and contributes to a more harmonious whole.

Frame, Material, and Optical Quality

The choice of material affects the expression. Many round mirrors in our range use a frame in solid metal, brass, or wood. These frames should provide both visual depth and necessary stability. A frameless look gives the glass a floating sensation and focuses on the pure form that the mirror provides. For the frameless mirror, the glass quality is crucial to create a clear and undistorted reflection.

For round mirrors from, for example, Glas Italia, the focus is on how the glass can be processed with etchings or tints, which provides a subtle layer between the object and the reflection. Boffi and Vitra also showcase products where the round shape gains a sculptural presence, making the mirror more than just a reflecting plane.

Mounting and Secure Placement

For the installation of a large round mirror, the construction is dependent on the wall. It is crucial that the wall mirror is mounted with fixings that are adapted to its weight. A robust mirror can weigh more than a regular interior detail. We want to ensure that the suspension supports the mirror's weight through all mounting points, which makes the installation safe. Secure placement must also take into account where the mirror is to hang. A round mirror placed in the hall gives the room visual depth.

Use in Bathrooms and Lighting

The round mirror fits well in many environments. In the bathroom, it provides a soft contrast to tiles and straight lines, contributing to a sense of space. When choosing a round mirror for the bathroom, you should consider materials that resist moisture. We also aim to show mirrors that are adapted for this. By combining a round mirror with thoughtful lighting, you create the effect of a larger and brighter surface. To find the right light for your round mirror, you should choose lighting that does not create glare, which provides the best reflection and creates more space in the room. These mirrors are available in several different sizes and are suitable for creating a unified interior in the home.
