A Round mirror - for a well rounded choice

Upscale homes and hotels have traditionally been using square and rectangular mirrors for a long time.  Designers, however, have found that using a round mirror can dramatically change the look and the ambiance of a room, and they have been gaining popularity.  Round mirrors of the past generally had that traditional or antique quality, but today, more and more, we are seeing a wide variety of modern and contemporary styles.

A room will generally have a linear or angular feel to it, as the picture frames are usually rectangular, as are the windows, the doors, the mirrors and even the walls for that matter.  In breaking that mold, simple placement of non angular furnishings and wall hangings, such as a round mirror, are essential, as we are otherwise stuck with the shape of our rooms, doors and windows.  Not to be entirely for show, however, a round mirror serves a functional purpose as well.  Placement in your foyer will add style and grace while giving you one last chance to check your hair or makeup on your way out the door.  A larger sized round mirror will make a perfect bathroom hanging for above the vanity.  With the vast array of frame styles available now, you will be able to match any décor.

A smaller round mirror can have some what of a porthole look and feel to them, especially if several are placed side by side.  If that is not your desired look, staying with a more modern and less fancy frame can help avoid that.  Also, a larger mirror will have less of a porthole submarine-ish look; consider as well, an oval shaped mirror for a slightly different feel, and perhaps a slightly more practical use.  

A frameless round mirror will also provide a unique and distinct look all on its own.  Once again, coming in all shapes and sizes, functional or decorative, there are enough frameless round mirror choices to suit anyone’s fancy.  A collage of variously sized smaller frameless round mirrors on a wall can really warm up a room in a fun way without looking too “bubbly.”

Pricing will vary dramatically when it comes to shopping for your round mirror, or any mirror.  Most mirrors, with their aluminum or silver backed glass panes will be of excellent quality, but prices will start to rise when frame styles and qualities, and designer names come into play.  The best selection of round mirrors can be found right here on the internet, as well as the best deals usually.  Shipping may cost a little bit more, however, due the extra care that must be taken due the breakable nature of the product.
