Round Mirrors

A round mirror is one of the easiest tricks in interior design: it reflects light, opens up the room and adds a clear shape that breaks up the many straight lines in a home. At Dims Studio you'll find round mirrors and table mirrors from &Klevering and Kersten, from graphic polyresin wall mirrors to a small terrazzo table mirror. This guide covers types, materials, sizes and placement, so you can find the round mirror that suits your hallway, bedroom or bathroom.

What is a round mirror?

A round mirror is a mirror with a circular mirror surface, often with a frame that reinforces the shape further. Unlike an oval or square mirror, a round mirror has no sharp corners, which gives a softer and more organic look on the wall or table. At Dims Studio, the round mirrors range from large wall mirrors with a bold, graphic edge to a small table mirror for the vanity or bathroom shelf. Also check out our wider range of mirrors if round isn't the only shape you're considering.

What the mirrors in our range have in common is that it's not only about the mirror function itself, but just as much about the frame around it. At &Klevering and Kersten, the frame is designed as a statement in its own right, turning the mirror into a wall object or decorative detail, whether it's used actively or simply hung as decor.

Types of round mirrors

The range at Dims Studio covers both wall mirrors for the hallway and living room and a smaller table mirror for your daily routine.

Graphic wall mirrors with a patterned edge

&Klevering is behind several round wall mirrors where the frame itself creates the look. The Zigzag mirror has a jagged zigzag edge in polyresin, while the Churros mirror has wavy edges inspired by the Spanish pastry of the same name. Both mirrors come in several colours, such as yellow, pink and ochre, and work as much as a graphic wall piece as a functional mirror.

Terrazzo table mirror

From Kersten you'll find a small round table mirror with a heavy terrazzo base, a surface of marble chips pressed and polished into a unique pattern. The table mirror is compact and well suited to the vanity, bathroom shelf or hallway console, for a quick check before you head out the door.

Type	Example in the range	Material	Best for
Wall mirror with zigzag edge	Zigzag mirror, yellow (&Klevering)	Polyresin and mirror glass	Hallway, living room, kids' room
Wall mirror with wavy edge	Churros mirror, pink and ochre (&Klevering)	Polyresin and glass	Bedroom, hallway
Terrazzo table mirror	Marble mirror (Kersten)	Terrazzo, mirror glass, metal	Vanity, bathroom

Materials: polyresin, terrazzo and mirror glass

The material of the frame has a big impact on how the mirror feels and where it works best.

Polyresin

Polyresin is a moulded synthetic material that's considerably lighter than metal and wood, making it possible to shape detailed silhouettes like the zigzag and churros edges. The material handles moisture better than many other materials, which makes the mirrors from &Klevering well suited to the bathroom, as long as they're not exposed to direct water splashes.

Terrazzo

Terrazzo is made from marble chips mixed with a binder and polished smooth, so each piece gets its own pattern of light and dark stone. It's a classic Italian technique, used here for the base of the table mirror from Kersten, giving each piece a unique look.

Mirror glass

The mirror surface itself on all our round mirrors is genuine mirror glass, cleaned with ordinary glass cleaner and a soft or microfibre cloth for a streak-free finish.

Material	Feel	Care	Examples in the range
Polyresin	Light and graphic	Wipe with a damp cloth, avoid abrasives	Zigzag and Churros mirrors
Terrazzo	Heavy and tactile	Damp cloth, avoid acid and abrasives	Marble mirror
Mirror glass	Clear and reflective	Glass cleaner and soft cloth	All mirrors in the range

Genuine mirror glass

All the mirrors in our range have a mirror surface made from genuine mirror glass rather than plastic mirror or mirror film, giving a clearer, more precise reflection that ages better over time without turning dull or discoloured.

How to clean your round mirror

• Clean the mirror glass with ordinary glass cleaner and a soft or microfibre cloth.
• Wipe a polyresin frame with a slightly damp cloth, and avoid abrasive products that can scratch or discolour the surface.
• Wipe a terrazzo base with a damp cloth, and avoid vinegar, citric acid and other acidic cleaning products, as acid etches marble.
• Avoid placing polyresin mirrors in direct contact with water, even though the material generally handles moisture well.

Sizes and dimensions

The round mirrors at Dims Studio range from the small table mirror to the larger wall mirrors. The Kersten marble table mirror measures 16.5 x 4 x 17 cm and is large enough for face and hair, but it's not a full-length mirror. The &Klevering Zigzag mirror has a diameter of 35 to 50 cm depending on colour and variant, while the Churros mirrors measure roughly 33.5 to 44.5 cm in diameter. For comparison, a mirror around 35 cm is about the size of a medium dinner plate, making it compact enough for a narrow console table yet still bold enough to work as a standalone eye-catcher. Always check the exact measurements of the individual product, including both diameter and depth, before planning the placement on the wall or table.

Placement and use of round mirrors

Where you hang or place your round mirror determines both its function and its look.

In the hallway

A round mirror above a narrow console in the hallway offers a last look before heading out and gives a softer welcome than a square mirror. Pair it with a ceramic bowl for keys from our ceramics range.

In the bedroom

A Churros or Zigzag mirror by the dresser or above the nightstand adds colour and shape while still being practical for a final check before you head out the door. In a teen or kids' room, the graphic colours work as an easy way to break up an otherwise pastel space.

In the bathroom

The polyresin mirrors from &Klevering can hang in the bathroom as a complement to the main mirror, as long as they're placed somewhere with good ventilation and away from direct water splashes from the shower.

On the desk or shelf

The terrazzo table mirror from Kersten is designed to stand on display, for example on the vanity, the bathroom shelf or next to a small vase on the desk, where its heavy base keeps it stable.

Round mirrors in different interior styles

A round mirror can be adapted to most styles, depending on the frame and colour you choose. In a calm, Scandinavian home, a mirror without a colourful frame can add balance, while the graphic Zigzag and Churros mirrors from &Klevering suit a home with a more playful, maximalist look, where colour and shape are welcome to take up space. The terrazzo table mirror from Kersten draws on references to 1970s Italian design and works as a small, tactile detail in a home otherwise built around natural materials like wood and stone. What all the mirrors have in common is that they break up the straight lines that furniture, door frames and windows often create, adding a softer, more organic shape to the room.

Why choose a round mirror over a square one?

A round mirror has no sharp corners, making it a soft counterpoint to the many right angles most homes already have in the form of doors, windows and furniture. As a result, the shape is often perceived as more welcoming and less dominant on the wall than a large square mirror, even at a comparable size. At the same time, the circular shape guides the eye around rather than along straight lines, which can create a calmer feel in a room with many other angular elements. That makes a round mirror an obvious choice if you already have square picture frames, shelving or furniture and want to break the pattern with a single, soft shape.

How to choose the right round mirror for the room

Start by looking at the wall where the mirror will hang. If it's a narrow wall or a spot above a console table, a mirror on the smaller side, like the 33.5 cm Churros mirror, is often the best choice, as it won't dominate the room. If you have a wider wall or want to create a real eye-catcher, a larger mirror like the 50 cm Zigzag mirror can work as the room's natural focal point. Also think about the colour of the frame: a neutral or natural-toned frame often blends more easily into an already established room, while a bold colour like yellow, pink or ochre works best if you want to deliberately introduce a new colour accent. Finally, it's worth considering the light in the room: a mirror placed opposite a window will reflect more daylight and can make a dark room feel significantly brighter.

Mounting

The wall mirrors from &Klevering need to be mounted with screws and wall plugs, which are not included and must be bought separately. Choose fixings that suit your wall type, as plasterboard, concrete and wood each require different solutions. The table mirror from Kersten doesn't need mounting; it stands freely on its own base.

Round mirrors as a gift idea

A round mirror is both decorative and practical, making it a gift that gets used from the day it's unwrapped. The small terrazzo table mirror from Kersten is especially well suited as a gift, as it's compact, easy to wrap and unique in its look thanks to the terrazzo pattern, which varies from piece to piece. A Zigzag or Churros wall mirror from &Klevering, on the other hand, is a good pick if the gift is meant to mark a bigger occasion, such as moving house or a confirmation, where a wall mirror in a considered colour can become one of the first objects the recipient hangs in their new home or room. Wrap the mirror glass well in tissue paper or bubble wrap during transport, regardless of which type of mirror you choose, as the glass needs protection from impact.

Frequently asked questions about round mirrors

What's the difference between a round and an oval mirror?

A round mirror is circular with an equal radius all the way round, while an oval mirror is elongated and elliptical. A round mirror gives a more symmetrical, calm look, while an oval one can feel a touch more elegant and elongating. Also check out our oval mirrors if you're weighing up both shapes.

Can a round mirror from &Klevering hang in the bathroom?

Yes, the polyresin frame handles humidity well, but the mirror shouldn't be exposed to direct water splashes or constant steam close to the shower. Place it somewhere with good ventilation.

How do I clean terrazzo without damaging the surface?

Use a damp cloth and, if needed, a mild, pH-neutral soap. Avoid anything acidic, such as vinegar, lemon juice and limescale remover, as acid etches the marble surface and can leave dull marks.

How big should a round mirror be in the hallway?

It depends on the width of the console table, but a mirror around 35 to 50 cm in diameter typically works well above a narrow hallway console without overwhelming the wall.

Do the mirrors from &Klevering come with hanging fixings?

No, wall-mounting fixings aren't included. Choose screws and wall plugs that suit your wall type, whether it's plasterboard, concrete or wood.

Is a round mirror a good gift?

Yes, the small terrazzo table mirror from Kersten in particular is an obvious hostess or housewarming gift, as it's practical without being dull, and the terrazzo pattern makes each piece unique.

What's the difference between terrazzo and marble?

Marble is a solid natural stone with natural veining, while terrazzo is made from marble chips mixed with a binder and polished smooth, giving it its characteristic speckled pattern. Both techniques have roots in Italian stonework.

Does the table mirror wobble if you lean against it?

No. The terrazzo base on the Kersten table mirror weighs around 400 to 500 grams and keeps the mirror stable during everyday use, so you can use it without needing to steady it by hand.

Does a round mirror with a coloured edge work as a confirmation gift?

Yes, a Zigzag or Churros mirror in a colour like yellow or pink is a graphic, colourful gift that works well for someone who's confirming and setting up their own room.

Can you group several round mirrors on the same wall?

Yes, several smaller round mirrors in different sizes and colours can be grouped into a collage for a dynamic look, while a single larger mirror works best as a calm, standalone eye-catcher.

Why have round mirrors become so popular in interiors?

The round shape breaks up the many straight lines in a typical home, such as doors, windows and furniture, and so comes across as softer and more welcoming on the wall. At the same time, the circular shape suits many different interior styles, from minimalist to colourful and playful.

Can a round mirror make a room feel brighter?

Yes, a mirror placed opposite a window reflects daylight back into the room and can make even a smaller or darker room feel brighter and more open.

Should I choose a neutral or a colourful mirror?

It depends on whether the mirror should blend into an already established room or create a new focal point. A neutral frame tends to fit easily into most interiors, while a bold colour like yellow, pink or ochre works best if you want to deliberately add a new colour accent to the room.
