Asymmetrical mirrors: How to make a statement on your wall
Not every mirror has to be symmetrical. In fact, it’s precisely a mirror that breaks with the expected shape that draws attention in a way that a rectangular or round mirror can’t always match. Asymmetrical mirrors have a certain effortless charm. They stand out without being flashy, add character to a wall, and pair remarkably well with both minimalist and more eclectic interiors. At Nordic Style , you’ll find two collections that perfectly embody this feel: the organic Hanna and the graphic Bernt hexagon mirror.
Nordic Style
Why choose an asymmetrical mirror from Nordic Style?
The power of an asymmetrical mirror lies in its shape. While a round or rectangular mirror guides the eye along a predictable path, an irregular shape invites you to look longer. That’s exactly what makes a wall interesting. Nordic Style designs its mirrors in-house, with an eye for the balance between form and function. Not just a decorative object that looks nice from a distance, but a mirror you use every day and in which you discover something new each time.
All mirrors are made of high-quality HD silver mirror glass with a crystal-clear, true-to-life reflection. The glass is coated with an explosion-proof safety film, ensuring that it remains intact in the event of damage. The frames are available in brushed aluminum or FSC-certified wood, depending on the collection. As a result, each model combines durability with a look that will last for years.
Hanna Collection
The Hanna Collection: Organic Shapes with Soft Contours
The Hanna is the organic mirror from Nordic Style. Its flowing, asymmetrical shape is inspired by natural elements: no sharp corners, no perfect circles, but soft contours that gently guide the eye. The soft contours of an organic mirror bring balance to your interior, precisely because the shape is imperfect.
The Hanna is available in three versions. The aluminum version features a brushed aluminum frame in black, matte white, greige, or soft gold, and is available in two sizes: 82×46 cm and 110×60 cm. The Hanna Wood has a frame made of FSC-certified pine, in natural or walnut, and is also available in both sizes. For those looking for the sleekest version, there’s the Hanna Frameless: pure mirror glass without a frame, with a matte-polished edge, in the size 170×50 cm.
If you choose pine in the walnut finish, the mirror will have a warmer, richer look. The natural finish is lighter in tone and pairs well with airy, Scandinavian interiors. Both wood finishes are untreated, preserving the wood’s natural look. Please note that wooden mirrors are not suitable for damp areas such as the bathroom. The aluminum and frameless versions, however, are suitable for such areas.

De Bernt
The Bernt: A Hexagon That Breaks the Mold
When people think of asymmetrical mirrors, they often think of organic shapes. But the Bernt hexagon mirror also breaks the mold. Its hexagonal shape breaks with the tradition of round and rectangular shapes in a graphic, playful way. While the Hanna exudes softness, the Bernt has a more geometric character: clean lines, but an unexpected shape.
The Bernt is available in one size: 90×60 cm, with a brushed aluminum frame in black, matte white, greige, or soft gold. A practical detail: the mirror has wall hooks on both sides, allowing you to hang it either vertically or horizontally. This gives you the freedom to adjust its orientation to fit the space.
Want to really make a statement? Arrange several Bernt mirrors in a pattern on the wall. This creates a dynamic, graphic effect that works well in a entryway, living room, or bathroom.
Every room
Asymmetrical mirrors fit into any room
An asymmetrical mirror stands out, but that doesn’t mean it has to be overwhelming. In the living room, a 110×60 cm “Hanna” mirror above a sideboard serves as a calming focal point that also draws the eye. Its shape contrasts beautifully with the clean horizontal lines of the furniture, without making the overall look feel cluttered. In the entryway, an organic mirror serves as a warm welcome: more inviting than a stark rectangle, yet just as functional.
In the bedroom, the Hanna’s soft shape brings a sense of serenity. Hang it next to a bed or above a dresser, and the mirror adds a decorative element without disrupting the room’s tranquility. The frameless 170×50 cm version is ideal for this: the shape speaks for itself, and the frame isn’t there to distract from it.
In a bathroom or small bathroom, the Bernt makes for a surprising accent. Compact, graphic, and just a little different than you’d expect. For those looking for a mirror for the entryway or hallway, the hallway mirror collection offers a wide selection of suitable models.
Organic or geometric
The difference between organic and geometric asymmetry
Not all asymmetrical mirrors are the same. The Hanna has a flowing, soft shape. Its contours are never harsh. The Bernt is different: its corners are sharp, and its hexagonal shape is geometric in nature. Neither falls into the category of the classic round or rectangular mirror, but the feeling they evoke is fundamentally different.
Which one you choose depends on your interior design and what you’re trying to achieve. An organic mirror pairs well with interiors featuring natural materials, wooden furniture, and soft colors. The Bernt also works well in more minimalist, contemporary spaces where you’re looking for a graphic element without everything being straight and symmetrical. Both are available in the same aluminum frame colors, so they’ll complement existing accents in your interior.
Timeless design
Timeless design that never goes out of style
Asymmetrical shapes are nothing new. Perfect symmetry is rare in nature, and interior designers have always known this. Yet the organic mirror has grown significantly in popularity in recent years, partly because Scandinavian design is once again emphasizing natural shapes and authentic materials. This aligns with Nordic Style ’s brand promise: serene simplicity and timeless design.
The Hanna and the Bernt weren’t designed to be trendy items that will feel dated in two years. Their understated, carefully chosen shapes and materials ensure they’ll remain beautiful for years to come, no matter how the rest of your interior evolves. That’s exactly the balance Nordic Style strives for: striking enough to make a statement, yet understated enough not to overwhelm.
Business
Business Applications
Asymmetrical mirrors are also an excellent choice for commercial interiors. In a hotel, a Hanna mirror in a room or suite creates a personal, almost residential feel that standard rectangular mirrors rarely achieve. In a beauty salon or wellness center, the soft, organic shape fits seamlessly with the atmosphere of tranquility and care you want to convey.
Restaurants and hair salons are increasingly choosing a distinctive mirror as a visual focal point in their spaces. The Bernt is well-suited for use in groups, such as in a composition on a wall near the entrance or in a restroom. Nordic Style also serves business customers, offering personalized advice and the option of a customized quote. For more information, visit the business page.
Materials
Materials and Colors
Nordic Style ’s asymmetrical collections offer a wide selection of materials and colors. The aluminum frames are available in four shades. Greige is a unique blend of gray and beige that effortlessly complements Scandinavian and neutral interiors. Matte white is fresh and timeless, black is sleek and works well in contemporary or industrial-inspired spaces, and soft gold adds a warm accent that pairs beautifully with natural materials.
The Hanna Wood’s wooden frames are available in natural pine and walnut-stained pine. Natural pine is light in color and has an airy, Scandinavian look. Walnut-stained pine has a warmer, darker hue that pairs well with interiors featuring richer colors and warm wood tones. Both are untreated, which means the wood’s texture and color remain fully visible.
For those who prefer a frameless mirror, the Hanna Frameless is an elegant option. The pure mirror glass with a matte-polished edge creates a minimalist look that blends into the interior without disappearing. You can find more about this model in the frameless mirror collection.
Quality
Quality and Sustainability
Nordic Style We use only high-quality HD silver mirror glass. This ensures a crystal-clear reflection without distortion, even in larger sizes. The glass is 4 to 6 mm thick, depending on the model. The explosion-proof safety film on the back holds the glass together in the event of damage, ensuring that even larger mirrors are safe to use.
The wooden frames are made from FSC-certified wood, which means the wood comes from responsibly managed forests. For every tree that is cut down, another is planted. This aligns with the sustainable approach of Scandinavian design, from which Nordic Style draws its inspiration.
Delivery
Delivery and Installation
All mirrors are delivered free of charge in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, and France by a specialized carrier with experience transporting fragile items. You’ll receive a message two days before delivery with the delivery time and time window. The mirror is carefully packaged and comes with a complete set of mounting hardware, including screws and anchors, so you can get started right away.
Hanging it is easy thanks to the clearly marked mounting points on the back. Here’s a handy tip: Use painter’s tape to mark the exact position on the wall before you start drilling. That way, you’ll hang the mirror in the right spot on the first try.
