As relatively common shapes for a mirror, it's not unusual to find them all over a home or business. Their curves enhance almost every room in the house!
Prime locations for frameless round mirrors include:
- Above vanities or dressing tables
- Near hallway console tables or above radiators
- In bathrooms
- Above fireplaces or dining tables
- Opposite windows, French doors, or art installations
But you are free to place them anywhere you think needs an extra pop of wow.
Why opt for a Round Glass Mirror?
- Boosted room aesthetics
Each made-to-order mirror can also make even the smallest of spaces feel lighter, brighter, and larger by spreading light, brightening dim spaces, and creating the illusion of more space. Consider it your portal to a more spacious and inviting home or business! - They fit comfortably anywhere
This less demanding shape is also a space-saver, as it takes up less room on the wall, and can fit into smaller areas more easily than a square or rectangular mirror could. - They can soften harsh, angular rooms
If your home or office is full of straight lines, adding the curve of a custom round mirror can bring a softer feel that makes the space feel more comfortable. - Round glass mirrors suit all spaces
Whether your room is traditional and classic or minimalist and modern, a circular mirror will fit well with all styles. - A choice of fitting options

How to Choose the Perfect-Sized Round Mirror?
Whether you want a classic silver round mirror for its utility or an antique round mirror with a vintage bronze tint, you can find what you need in any size at EGW. Alongside our selection of finishes, we offer a range of sizes so your bespoke round mirror is sure to make a statement and fit comfortably whenever it's needed.
Choose from:
- 50 x 50cm
- 55 x 55cm
- 60 x 60cm
- 65 x 65cm
- 70 x 70cm
- 75 x 75cm
For smaller rooms and walls, we recommend choosing smaller frameless glass mirrors to ensure they look balanced in the space. However, if you have larger expanses of wall to make a statement on, our largest mirrors are ideal.
If you are hanging above furniture or architectural elements, like a dressing table or fireplace, a good rule of thumb to ensure the overall effect is balanced is to choose a mirror that is 70-100% of the width of the items below, so they are always slightly smaller.
No matter which size you choose, ensure your mirror has "breathing room" around it, so it doesn't touch light fixtures, decor, or wall edges, and appear crowded, and aim to hang at eye-level for maximum impact.

Round Mirror FAQs
While both are common in homes and businesses across the country, round mirrors have many genuine strengths compared to rectangular mirrors. These include fitting well above sinks in bathrooms or vanity tables in bedrooms, or in areas with limited wall space, including hallways. Thanks to their curves, they help to create the illusion of more space without taking up too much room themselves.
Rectangular mirrors, on the other hand, are generally larger and more suitable for dressing areas, as you can see your whole body in the mirror, or long and narrow wall spaces, where they can fill up more of the area to create a dramatic yet balanced look.
Each can fit into most interior design styles without a problem – but in some cases, one might be a better fit than the other. Choosing the best mirror shape depends on how you intend to use it, the layout and décor scheme of the room you want to place it in, and your personal style preferences.
For advice on which is best, take some measurements of the area, and then give us a call to discuss your needs.
Mirror glass is pretty durable if not dropped or damaged by impact, meaning that it should last 10 to 15 years without issue.
If crafted by a trusted manufacturer, like EGW, they can maintain their clarity and structural integrity for many years.
However, if you see warping, degradation of the silver, or glass damage, this will only worsen over time, so it should be a sign that you need a replacement.
Round mirrors are very much still in style because they suit a whole range of homes and design preferences.
So, whether your home is traditional and filled with wood or more contemporary, with clean lines and metallic elements, a circular mirror from EGW is a safe yet stylish choice.
The most common uses for round mirrors are above a bathroom sink or above a dressing table as a vanity mirror, allowing you to clearly see your face and upper body while brushing teeth, shaving, applying skincare products or cosmetics, and so on. Other common spots include behind a desk in a home office, over a mantlepiece in the living room, or above a console table in the hall.
However, circular mirrors can also be used to:
- Enhance the light levels if hung opposite or near a light source
- Reflect picturesque views or windows
- Create statement walls by hanging multiple mirrors in different sizes
Your options are almost endless!
