What Is a Round Wall Mirror?
A round wall mirror is a circular reflective surface designed for vertical mounting that softens angular room geometry while creating visual depth. Unlike rectangular or arched wall mirrors, the round shape introduces organic symmetry that works well above furniture, in hallways, or as a focal point on empty walls. Round mirrors range from small accent pieces to oversized statement mirrors like the 48-inch Hawthorne.
What You Get With the Bassett Mirror Hawthorne Wall Mirror
- Substantial 48-Inch Diameter -- large enough to serve as a room focal point while creating the illusion of expanded space in smaller areas.
- Bronze-Textured Polystyrene Frame -- the thin, traditional-style frame delivers Old World charm with a lightweight, durable material that resists warping and moisture damage.
- Ready-to-Hang Design -- wall-mounting hardware allows immediate installation without assembly, though professional mounting is recommended due to the 35-pound weight.
- Versatile Placement Options -- the neutral bronze finish and classic circular shape complement traditional, transitional, and eclectic interiors across residential and commercial spaces.
- Timeless Traditional Aesthetic -- the brown bronze texture evokes European and antique design sensibilities without heavy ornamentation.
Where Should You Place a Mirror in a Living Room?
Position the Hawthorne round wall mirror above a sofa or console table to anchor your seating area and reflect natural light from windows -- the 48-inch size makes it ideal for placement above furniture pieces 60-72 inches wide. The bronze finish pairs beautifully with other wall decor and art, while the circular shape balances rectangular furniture and architectural elements. For entryway applications, hang it above a narrow console flanked by decorative wall mirrors in complementary finishes, or create a gallery wall by pairing it with smaller mirrors and artwork.
