Greetings! A quick update: the round window we expected to arrive for the kitchen last week didn’t make it on the truck, so installation was delayed. I was disappointed, but the team has scheduled installation for this week. Delays are frustrating, but they often lead to better results, and that has held true for our kitchen project more than once. I’m looking forward to sharing the next phase soon as we move into the part of the renovation when things get more interesting.
While waiting, a reader reminded me in the comments of my round window post that round mirrors can create a similar visual effect for anyone who doesn’t want to install an actual round window. Such a great point. Round mirrors are one of my favorite accessories: they introduce a soft circular shape, reflect light, and instantly add visual interest to a room.
True confession: I probably have a dozen mirrors—many of them round—leaning against walls and waiting for the remodel to finish so I can hang them.
Today I thought it would be fun to reflect (pun intended) on some of my favorite round mirrors and offer inspiration for how they can elevate a space. In many rooms a mirror can make as much impact as a new window, adding light, shape, and personality.
