Round Bathroom Mirrors

A round mirror softens the hard lines of a bathroom and has become a defining feature of the modern vanity. Set above a basin, its curve balances the squared edges of cabinetry and tiles, and a 750mm diameter suits most single vanities well.

Sizing and placement

As a guide, a round mirror should be a little narrower than the vanity below it so it sits comfortably rather than crowding the wall. Centre it over the basin and hang it at a height that suits the household — the middle of the glass around eye level works for most people. Leave room above the tap and any wall spout so the mirror doesn’t clash with the tapware.

Framed, frameless and lit

A thin metal frame — matte black, brushed brass or nickel — lets the mirror echo your tapware finish and adds definition. Frameless designs feel lighter and more minimal. Backlit and LED mirrors add even, shadow-free light for grooming; if you choose one, plan the wiring in before the wall is lined.

Pairing with the vanity

Let the mirror relate to the shapes around it: a round mirror is a lovely counterpoint to a rectangular basin, while pairing it with a round basin creates a soft, coordinated look. Keep the frame finish consistent with the tapware and handles so the room reads as one scheme.
