DESIGN DETAILS: WOODEN BALL MIRROR

I’ve sourced three wooden ball mirrors for you at a good, better, and best price and quality point. Check those measurements of your space and the dimensions of the mirrors before you buy.

We love the wooden ball mirror because it has a natural, organic feel to it. First off, a round mirror is a great piece to add to a space with a lot of rectangles going on- like an entryway, living room or over a powder bathroom vanity.

Next, I love that the wood frame gives off warmth to the space. So when you need a little bit of warmth and organic shape to a space, get one of these wooden ball mirrors.
