How to rock a round mirror

Round mirrors can look great in every room. The first time I noticed them, it seemed everyone was placing them above console tables in hallways or entryways, but they’ve slowly been making their mark in bathrooms, living rooms and bedrooms.

The main thing to keep in mind is size. You want that Goldilocks size. You know: not too big, not too small. Just right.

For good measure, make sure your mirror does not extend beyond the width of the furniture beneath it. Optimally, you leave six inches of breathing room on either side to center the round mirror.

And if the mirror looks too small in the space, you’re right. It’s too small. Go big.
