By now, you’ve seen it everywhere: Anthropologie’s Gleaming Primrose Mirror. It’s had a chokehold on the design world since it exploded on Instagram in 2020—and four years later, the hashtag #anthropologiemirror has 52.6M views on TikTok alone. Why, you ask? Because it’s a contemporary, Parisian-meets-Gatsby design that makes for the perfect statement piece. While the antique Baroque frame brings a hint of heritage maximalism, the sleek, arched shape makes it modern and minimalistic. The only downside? It’s a highly coveted staple piece—with a price tag that starts at $548—and it’s almost always on backorder.

As a result, the Primrose has sparked Anthro to create other statement-making mirrors and it’s inspired retailers like Amazon and Walmart to create their own more affordable spins. So, from French provincial motifs in the Mila mirror to modern spins on classic silhouettes in the Judarn and Tamara mirrors, we’ve rounded up ten splurge-worthy pieces from Anthro to invest in this year (plus every budget-friendly alternative we could find).

As mentioned above, this is the Baroque piece that started the whole statement mirror craze. Its design stems from the Art Deco movement, as seen in its intricate details, including elegant embellishments along the apex and edges of the frame. The patina-bronzed finish also adds a hint of vintage charm while the sleek silhouette makes it feel contemporary and current. Bonus: It’s available in a wide range of sizes—including 3-, 5-, 6- and 7-feet—and gold, black white and antique black finishes that’ll suit all of your existing decor.
Similar to the Primrose’s classic look—but elevated with the whole French farmhouse trend—we love how the Mila harkens back to classic provincial design. Its antique-inflected frame (available in gold and black)) has an age-old sophistication while the scaping 26.5-inch width makes it the perfect statement piece over the mantle. Plus, it comes fitted with a ready-to-hang D-ring and there’s a floor mirror version available (which includes anti-tip kit).

This hardwood-trimmed floor mirror is the answer to creating a timeless focal point anywhere in the house (preferably somewhere by the front door, so you can check your fit before you head out for the day). Its tropical wood is handcrafted with meticulous attention to detail, while the slim, sculptural frame brings an elegant touch of visual interest. The best part is that, thanks to its hand-carved design, it’s completely one-of-a-kind. Each mirror boasts unique variations in color, natural texture and woodgrain pattern, ensuring that no two pieces are exactly alike.

We’re not exaggerating when we say we had to collect our jaws off the floor after seeing this mirror in the ‘New Arrivals’ section. It’s undeniably unique with an Italian-inspired design that uses tapestry-inspired cotton-linen upholstery on the frame. (It basically feels like a modern Michelangelo sculpture). To that end, it’s also manufactured to be ultra-durable with a tropical hardwood frame that’s reinforced with engineered hardwood. Perfect for anyone who’s not afraid to make a statement.

The one mirror assistant editor Sydney Meister can’t live without? The Tamara. “First and foremost, I was drawn to the 26-inch width (in the floor size), which is great for anyone like me who’s tight on space,” she says. “I knew I wanted something that would draw the eye, but I needed to go with a more understated frame that wouldn’t overwhelm my tiny apartment. After the (lovely) delivery men at Anthro white-gloved this baby to my living room, I knew I made the right choice.” Its burl wood finish is the embodiment of sophistication and the curve-top silhouette adds just enough dimension to keep it from looking boring or dated. It’s also thoughtfully designed with an anti-tip structure (so you don’t need to hang it) and its wall-mirror version comes fitted with two ready-to-hang D-rings.
If you feel like your living room needs an upgrade, this is a stunning understated option. It reimagines the minimal metal designs we’ve been seeing in mirrors lately, with concave curves and rounded edges—a welcome contemporary twist on a classic piece. Not only that, but it still maintains an industrial edge with a combination of iron, fiberboard and glass, so it also brings durability to your space. To that end, it’s also worth mentioning a reviewer’s note on the wall mirror: “This mirror adds so much style to the room! It looks amazing, so chic!!! We have drywalls in the apartment and did not need to find the studs to hang it. Just make sure you buy the right anchors.”

Here, something that’s guaranteed to stop visitors in their tracks when they walk in your front door. First and foremost, it’s intricately adorned with handcrafted capiz shells that transition from ivory to a soft, inviting bronze. This creates an updated ombré finish that’s sure to stay timeless (unlike the hair trend, which we’re leaving back in 2019). Still, the most interesting draw to this guy—aside from its rare capiz construction—is that it can go coastal or contemporary depending how you style it. While the seashell-like shape makes it undeniably airy, the gilded accents make it edgy and versatile (especially if you pair it with a black lacquered console in the entryway).
Who knew medicine cabinets were stylish now? This guy proves they are, with a handmade aluminum frame that’s elevated with functional glass interior shelves for optimal storage. Considering the gold beveled frame was inspired by edgy industrial aesthetics, the materials are just as enduring, with a combination of polyurethane, metal and mirrored glass. It’s then constructed to withstand the test of time—ready-to-hang with four keyholes on the back (hanging hardware not included)—and includes three glass interior shelves that are recessed-mounting capable.
If you’re looking to splurge on a finishing bedroom touch, this mirror’s leather is an investment that’ll never go out of style. It’s scrupulously handcrafted from chosen buff leather and adorned with contrasting cross-stitches that are unlike anything else on the market. Not only does it make for a stunning accent over a dresser or vanity, but we also love how each hide features unique variances in tone and markings. It almost feels like an heirloom piece you can tell your friends you scored at an estate sale (your secret’s safe with us).
Finally, we’d be remiss if we didn’t close with another version of the viral Primrose design. This one is a mini makeup mirror—also available in a triptych option—that’ll leave your desk looking as stunning as your makeup. While the 14.25-inch width ensures plenty of room for primping, the 3.75-inch depth makes it easy to move around with the rest of your vanity essentials. It also has a swivel that makes it easy to tilt when you’re getting ready and many reviewers say it’s a perfect alternative to the larger option: “I wanted in on the hype but don’t have the room for a gigantic mirror, so I opted for this cutie,” one happy customer shares. “Even reading and measuring the dimensions, it’s surprisingly huge. Very sweet.”
