Whether you’re looking to add some pizazz to your space or you’re searching for that one of a kind gift for someone who loves mid century modern decor, a sunburst mirror can add drama and be the perfect focal point for any room in the house.
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.

At 36 inches in diameter, you’ll want a fairly large space for display, perhaps over a console table or behind your sofa.

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.
