Opulent Circular Mirrors

Shop by Shape: Why Round?

In a world of sharp corners and rectilinear architecture, a round mirror is a deliberate interruption — and a welcome one. The circle is one of the oldest design gestures in interior architecture, used to soften sightlines, create a focal point, and introduce a sense of movement and flow. Deknudt's round mirrors are not simply circular glass in a frame. They are considered objects: the proportions, the frame depth, the finish, and the quality of the copper-free glass all work together to elevate any wall they inhabit. Whether you're seeking a sculptural statement or a quietly elegant accent, a round designer mirror from Elysium Home brings Belgian craftsmanship to your Australian home.

Styling Round Mirrors Room by Room

Hallways & Entryways

The hallway is the first impression your home makes, and a round mirror is one of the most effective tools in creating that impression well. Hung at eye level on a feature wall or above a console, a round mirror draws the eye immediately, making the entry feel curated rather than functional. The circle shape prevents the narrow proportions of a hallway from feeling boxed in — it introduces a softness that rectangular alternatives cannot. Choose a Deknudt round mirror with a warm brass or blackened frame to anchor the space without dominating it.

Living Rooms

In a living room, a round mirror works beautifully above a fireplace, sofa, or sideboard. The geometry contrasts with the straight lines of furniture and architecture, creating visual interest. For larger living rooms, consider one of our XL statement mirrors in a round format — an oversized circle can serve as the centrepiece of an entire wall. In more intimate living rooms, a 60–80cm round Deknudt mirror provides presence without overpowering.

Bedrooms

The bedroom calls for softness, and no shape delivers it more naturally than the circle. A round mirror above a bedside table, on a feature wall behind the bed, or leaning against a dresser brings a sense of calm and completeness. Pair with warm lighting to amplify the reflective quality of the copper-free glass — the result is a glow that no ordinary mirror can replicate.

How to Size a Round Mirror

Sizing a round mirror correctly is the difference between a considered interior and a missed opportunity. As a general principle, the mirror's diameter should be proportional to the wall space or the piece of furniture it relates to. Above a console table, the mirror's diameter should be approximately half to two-thirds the width of the table — this creates visual harmony without the mirror appearing to float. For standalone wall placements, consider the room's ceiling height: in rooms with high ceilings, a larger-diameter mirror will feel in proportion; in lower-ceilinged rooms, a compact 50–70cm circle is typically ideal. If you're exploring genuinely oversized options, our XL mirrors collection includes large-format round pieces. For bathroom applications, see our dedicated bathroom mirrors collection, where copper-free glass is especially important.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size round mirror should I choose?

The right size depends on placement. Above a console or sideboard, aim for a diameter that is roughly half to two-thirds the width of the furniture beneath. For a standalone feature wall, consider the scale of the room — ceilings above 2.7m can comfortably accommodate a mirror of 90cm diameter or more. For bedrooms and compact spaces, a 50–70cm diameter typically provides strong visual impact without overwhelming. Our team at Elysium Home is happy to advise on specific sizing for your space.

Where do round mirrors look best?

Round mirrors look best in locations where their circular form contrasts with the surrounding geometry: above a rectangular console in a hallway, over a linear fireplace in a living room, or as a solo statement on an otherwise bare bedroom wall. They are also highly effective in bathrooms above a single vanity, where the curve softens the functional lines of the space. The key is positioning the mirror at eye level and ensuring there is enough breathing room around it for the shape to register fully.

How do I hang a round mirror?

Most Deknudt round mirrors include appropriate hanging hardware. For lighter pieces, a single D-ring or picture hook is sufficient. For larger or heavier pieces, we recommend two fixing points for stability and to prevent the mirror from tilting. Locate wall studs where possible, or use appropriate wall anchors for plasterboard. The centre of the mirror should generally sit at eye level — approximately 155–165cm from the floor — when used in a standing context. If hanging above furniture, position the bottom of the mirror 15–25cm above the top of the piece.

What makes Deknudt round mirrors different?

Deknudt Mirrors has been producing designer mirrors in Deerlijk, Belgium since 1946. What distinguishes their round mirrors is the quality of the copper-free glass — a premium formulation that resists tarnishing and maintains exceptional clarity over time. The frames are produced with the attention to detail characteristic of a family atelier: finishes are applied by hand, proportions are considered, and no two collections are simply variants of a formula. Every Deknudt piece is an expression of Belgian craft heritage brought into contemporary interior design.
