Irregular Mirrors - 2025’s Must-Have Mirror Style
Irregular Mirrors - 2025’s Must-Have Mirror Style
Irregular mirrors have moved from boutique showrooms to mainstream interiors in 2025, driven by a demand for softer lines and sculptural focal points. Search volume for “irregular mirrors” has doubled year-on-year in the UK and Australia, giving retailers who speak to the trend a clear edge.
Why Irregular Mirrors Are Everywhere
Designers say these mirrors break the monotony of straight architectural lines and help zones feel less rigid. They also maximise reflected light because edges catch angles that a rectangle misses. Influencers on Instagram and TikTok are pairing them with textured walls and micro-cement finishes, a look now filtering into new-build apartments.

Room-by-Room Styling Tips
Living room – Hang at eye level, 150 mm above any skirting board so the top and bottom of the mirror is proportioned correctly to your wall space.
Bathroom – For mirrors above vanities use the two thirds sizing rule to avoid making your mirror looking lost in the space.
Hallway – Angle the mirror towards the front door where possible to bounce daylight deeper into the corridor, making your hallway look larger than it may be.
Bedroom – Place opposite a window to reflect greenery, natural light and expand sight lines.
