Blob Mirror: The 2024 Trend You Need to Know About
The Blob mirror (also called irregular mirror or organic mirror) is a fun new home decor trend.
Let’s see what this trend is all about!
Blob mirrors are a really cool and versatile home decor piece. While they started to pop up with the rise of the playful maximalist design trend in 2023, the irregularly shaped mirrors perfectly fit other home decor styles as well:
They will be a great eye-catcher in a minimalist home, breaking up plain surfaces and clear lines.
In a more organic home, for example with lots of plants, irregular mirrors, organically shaped themselves, blend in well with the elements from nature. They beautifully reflect the plants, adding even more green colour to your room!
Fun Ideas Where to Place a Blob Mirror in Your Home
There are so many ways how you can style a blob mirror!
Here are a few inspirational images that I’ve found online, to give you some ideas on where to hang your irregular mirror:
Blob Mirrors in the Bedroom
What about hanging a set of blob mirrors in your bedroom?
The fun shapes are functional, yet beautiful decor pieces for bedroom walls of any size.
Play arranging a few small mirrors, or hang a larger mirror if you have the space.

Living Room Decor With Irregular Mirrors
The round and irregular shape of blob mirrors makes a great centrepiece for your living room.
They also look good if you’re hanging them over a sideboard, to add a playful touch to a gallery wall, and they can lift up a random corner. So get creative with the placement and how you combine the mirror with other decor elements.
Tip: Depending on your furniture’s main colours, go for a brass or black frame, or choose a frameless mirror for a more minimal touch.

Blob Mirror in the Master Bathroom
I just love how a simple round, irregular mirror can totally elevate a bathroom.
It feels luxurious and grand to replace the standard rectangular mirror over the sink with a blob mirror.

Organic Mirrors in the Hallway
Mirrors are a great decor piece for hallways and these irregular shapes make for an interesting look.
In a space that is made for quick transits, a mirror is foremost functional.
It helps reflect light to make the hallway brighter and adds colour by reflecting the opposite wall or window.
And who doesn’t like a quick check in the mirror while passing..?

Blob Mirror FAQ
Where to buy a blob mirror?
Most home decor stores will stock up on blob mirrors this year. I’m sure you’ll find them wherever trendy home decor and wall art is sold.
Look out for single blob mirrors in different shapes to combine, or go for a ready-made set.
If you’re looking for larger blob mirrors, you’ll most easily find them in furniture stores.
How to hang a blob mirror
When you’re mounting a blob mirror, pay special attention to securing it correctly. Feel the natural balance point. If you’re going off balance, add extra fixtures. Always, use good-quality fixtures and the correct anchors for your walls to ensure that the mirror is hung safely.
Tip: Also consider the balance point when leaning a blob mirror against the wall so that it doesn’t tip over.
