Circles in the Bathroom: Aluminum Mirrors by CB2

We love the idea of non-rectangular mirrors in the bathroom. We're surrounded by four-corner objects all the time in every other room — tables, desks, couches, picture frames, even computer screens — that round forms are a welcome reprieve from the default. And what a better room to have some bubbly, circular fun in than the bathroom...

We spotted this great aluminum mirror set containing 5 assorted sizes in the new CB2 catalogue. Sure, it looks cute in the dining room but we would totally move it to the bathroom. At 10" in diameter, the largest one might only be big enough to apply makeup in but we could see them supplementing the main bathroom mirror or adorning a vacant wall.

What shape mirror do you have in the bathroom? Would you ever go circular? This Before & After post on AT Chicago shows almost what we had in mind.

Wes & Kayla,

Just a note... the mirrors in my bathroom, that you reference in your post, are on the super-cheap at $20. (Since I had a small budget for my emergency-situation redo!) I was looking for something fun and a bit quirky, yet would be small enough to fit that wall. A neat little shapely mirror wouldn't fit as we couldn't find one narrow enough.

I got the circles at Target. They are easy to hang since they have nice hangers already on the back. And it was fun laying them all out and deciding on an arrangement!

You can find them online here:

Thanks for remembering me!

I love the cute little funky peace sign rug! Any idea on where that is from?

I'm looking for a larger round mirror, like 12-15 inches. Any suggestions on where to find one?

I have a row of three circular mirrors in my living room, but in my bathroom I have an Ikea Ung Drill picture frame that I got a mirror put into. My bathroom is tiny so it's a real focal point, and everybody comments on it.

i like how the metal rim around the mirrors make them look more substantial. but at $60, i think i'll take a look at sarah beth's cheaper target option. thanks for providing your source sarah beth! i checked out your bathroom redo and it's adorable!

What I WANTED to do in our bathroom, and WILL do someday (in another bathroom) is attach those funky circular mirrors to a very large mirror.

I have no circles anywhere except for my oversized clock in the dining room. Love the look

multiple circular mirrors in the bathroom are too "Mr Bubble" for me, but a single round mirror above the vanity is nice - like Target's Umbra trapeze mirror
