21 Best Sunburst Mirrors You’ll Absolutely Love

There are sunburst mirrors and then there are THESE sunburst mirrors. This heirloom-quality set is simply gorgeous, with hand-forged metal frames finished in a plated silver champagne surround. The surround has that hand-hammered appeal, and the sun rays look like melted silver droplets. 

These mirrors have a convex shape so they’re a little deeper than many, at 3.5 inches. The largest mirror measures out at 20.25 inches across with a mirror size of 12.75 inches. The medium mirror is 17 inches across, and the smallest is 15 inches across. Because these are handmade, there may be slight differences in each one, which makes them as much art as decor design.

We love it when designers switch up a traditional piece and make it a new and more modern take on the original. Such is the case with this sunburst mirror that features swirling gold sun rays rather than spiny ones. In this design interpretation, the mirror is framed by a halo of faceted rhinestone beads that give it loads of glitter and glimmer.

Added to that center halo, the swirling rays are studded with faceted crystals in an array of sizes that make for a totally luxe look. At 28 inches across, this mirror is mid-size, so it’s applicable for lots of different room settings. We think it would be a lovely addition to a bedroom, especially one that looks more Louis XIV rather than stark minimalist. 

Another crystal-studded option that spans the distance between ornate and minimalist is the LuLu Décor Celebration sunburst mirror that features more spiny style sun rays, each tipped with three faceted crystal beads. 

If you’re accustomed to seeing sunburst mirrors that are every permutation of gold, this reverse painted mirror is going to turn that notion on its head. This stunning mirror is just under 12 inches across, and its elegant frame features small panels of reverse-painted glass with intricate hand painted flowers in shades of purple and blue.

The hand-carved cedarwood sun rays have been painted in bronze leaf. Pretty and bright, it would be perfect in a child’s room or nook. If you wanted to do a grouping of similar starburst mirrors, the 7.75 inch Meadow Wood reverse painted mirror would complement the larger mirror perfectly.

During the mid mod period, all things celestial took on greater significance as evidenced by the number of interior design pieces, light fixtures, and fabric prints that featured starbursts, sun rays, sputniks and more. An ideal addition to your mid century modern décor, this sun flare wall mirror can be a striking focal point in any room. At 36 inches in diameter, you’ll want a fairly large space for display, perhaps over a console table or behind your sofa.

If you want a little lighter look, the Asense Home Collection Sunburst Mirror is smaller at just 27 inches across, and the delicate wire spokes offer a more airy appearance. 

Part sunburst and part flower, this sunburst wall mirror is a stunning homage to the whole sunburst design trend. Inspired by the shape of a dahlia, the frame is made of hand-finished nickel cast aluminum petals. This mirror is 24 inches across, with a six inch mirror in the center. We love how the mirror is actually in a separate frame from the petals, adding a multilayered effect.

The 1960s gave rise to the space race as well as mid century modern design. This geometric starburst mirror is spot on for a house that’s both minimalist and forward thinking.

Made of iron and steel, this mirror is durable enough to last for decades.

Wispy rays of silver-finished iron evoking a sea urchin look are artfully arranged to create the dramatic effect, and with three different sizes, they will add a unique design element to any room.

What’s in a name? Should it be starburst mirror or sunburst mirror? Wherever you search, they’re basically the same genre. Because this particular mirror was so cool and unique, we didn’t really care how they classified it! Rather than the classic round shape, it’s slightly longer than it is wide, which makes it a great fit in a narrower space where you need a specific fit.

The gorgeous antique silver finish is ultra-rich looking. The multi-layered resin rays add lots of dimension to the piece which adds to the antique inspiration. This mirror would look as beautiful in an old Victorian home as it would in a mid mod design. The beveled glass mirror also adds to the elegance. It’s 23 by 20 inches, and conveniently comes with D-ring hangers already attached. 

The Singapore Silver Leaf Mirror has a more classic minimalist style, but it’s also got that gorgeous antique silver finish and the elegant beveled mirror. Plus it’s huge – measuring 50 inches across –  so it will need a sizeable space.
