Affordable Squiggle Mirrors That Channel Gustaf Westman's Iconic Design

If you're not familiar with Gustaf Westman, get ready to discover the postmodern mirrors of your dreams. Scandinavian decor has been historically minimalist and organic, but Westman has challenged this stereotype. Even if you don't know Westman by name, you've undoubtedly noticed his influence on contemporary design. From Emma Chamberlain to Kaia Gerber, Generation Z has fallen in love with his quirky, playful pieces. Although he designs every kind of furniture you can imagine, his mirrors have become truly iconic.

Most likely, you've seen variations of Westman's squiggle mirror all over social media. With a blocky frame and a wavy border, the original piece was lovingly named the "curvy mirror." It has inspired countless dupes throughout major marketplaces and boutiques. IKEA just announced that a collaboration with Westman is coming this autumn, and we can only hope that a variation of the mirrors will be a part of the collab. His collection will be released alongside a line by Evelina Kroon, a fellow Swedish designer. They both create pieces that are informal, welcoming, and effortlessly stylish. Whether it will be tableware or full-scale furniture pieces remains to be seen. However, the items will presumably be more budget-friendly than Westman's typical creations. In the meantime, if you want to get a head start on incorporating some postmodern flair into your space, here are 12 affordable squiggle mirrors to browse, that channel elements of Westman's quirky, Memphis Group reminiscent style. Some, like the ones in his collection bright colors of soft pastel shades — others come in more toned-down finishes, while featuring eye-catching, funky frame shapes with wavy edges. 

If you want to dip your toe into Westman's squiggly style, Target has the perfect, understated option. With no frame at all, this piece can play with a wide variety of interior styles. The ultra-affordable Room Essentials Frameless Wavy Wall Mirror mimics the fluidity of Westman's squiggle mirror with a more minimalist approach. Although it is missing the strong border, it offers a more understated appearance that still feels lighthearted. Priced at $12.00, it is extremely budget-friendly and the perfect introduction to Westman's conceptual homeware.

Because of the simplicity in its design, this mirror can be displayed in a variety of spaces. If you need to add wall decor above a table in your entryway, this mirror is the perfect alternative to artwork. It will add visual interest to your space without taking over. You can accessorize with pieces that enhance the playful atmosphere, including funky lamps like the Mumeng Red Mushroom Lamp, or brightly-colored coffee table books. If you prefer a more sophisticated look, allow the mirror to take center stage and surround it with neutral, minimalist decor.

Beyond the squiggly, Curvy Mirror, Westman also created a flower power-style wall mirror — a perfectly lighthearted pop art accent. With a softer frame than Westman's original floral design, IKEA's low-profile PRUNKHALLON mirror is an ideal alternative if you're looking for something more two-dimensional. It features a squiggly frame that's reminiscent of both the squiggle mirrors and flower mirror in Westman's collection. The Westman flower mirror appears almost tubular, whereas the IKEA variation looks more like the frame was painted on. However the color couldn't be more perfect, as the bold blue looks incredibly close to the cobalt shade in Westman's color selection. The price difference could also more than make up for any differentiation, with the IKEA mirror priced at $14.99 and the original Westman mirror at $430.

The PRUNKHALLON mirror is marked as "last chance to buy," so you'll need to hurry if you love the look of this eclectic piece. In the room preview, IKEA showcased multiple mirrors on the same wall, creating a dynamic wall display. Although the IKEA stylists placed two mirrors on a diagonal, a trio can give your home an even more striking look. If you have a predominantly neutral interior, these are a great way to bring a pop of color into any room. You can choose a matching lamp like the BLÅSVERK to continue the shade throughout your space.

For those who don't gravitate towards bold colors, one way to inject the postmodern vibe into your space is with chunky shapes, but more neutral tones. If you're searching for a bold statement piece that doesn't overwhelm with color, this H&M Wavy Mirror is an excellent option. It has an abstract form, like Westman's squiggle mirror, but it leans even trendier. While Westman's Curvy Mirror looks like it could have been plucked out of the 70s or 80s, the H&M version is more clearly from our era. The mirror is currently on sale for 50% off and priced at $24.99.

At 15 inches tall, this mirror is definitely more decorative than functional. It's not the wavy mirror for mounting above a console table. But it could be the perfect way to dress up a narrow area of wall, or liven up a small gallery wall. Speaking of livening up — bright colors aren't for everyone, and this H&M mirror can add character to your interior through shape rather than bright shades. You can continue this technique by incorporating a variety of geometric shapes throughout your interior. Try selecting furniture with unconventional shapes while maintaining a desaturated color scheme. This will create the perfect balance between lively and restrained. If you want to learn more, here's a guide on how to use geometry to design a cohesive space.

Westman's mirrors are available in opaque, solid color finishes. If your style leans more glam, you might want to consider the Prohomeware Gold Round Mirror from Amazon. It has a soft floral shape and can be ordered with a gold or silver frame. The aesthetic lies somewhere in the middle of playful and sophisticated. Not only is this mirror a great way to get a luxe metallic look when working on a budget, but it offers a finish that Westman hasn't yet explored. The current price is $98.09.

Because of its 28-inch diameter, this reflective piece is ultra-versatile. It works beautifully above the sink in a powder room or as an alternative to a traditional bathroom mirror. Amazon also showcases the mirror as an addition above the fireplace. A mirror over the fireplace is a traditional concept, but with a modern mirror it can work with contemporary interiors. Instead of the overly ornate, French gold mirror, this gilded option will give your living space a nod to the past without looking overly serious.

For those who are into modern whimsy, Westman's aesthetic may lean a bit too Memphis. If color blocking and late 20th-century vibes aren't your jam, Amazon offers an affordable alternative that might speak to you. This Wavy Mirror by Fuwu Home has a very thin frame, which could be ideal if you are looking for a subtler nod to Westman's original design. This mirror is also a great option if you have a traditional space but you want to start introducing more modern pieces. For a more whimsical, cottage-core approach, try the variations in cream or walnut. The mirror is currently priced at $62.99.

There are tons of beautiful ways to add trendy, whimsical accents to your home. The concept of whimsical decor is to reflect a carefree, quirky approach to design with no pretentiousness. Westman's aesthetic clearly shares a similar concept. However, there is something starker and more minimalistic about his work. Perhaps it's the strong Scandinavian influence, which he credits as inspiration even more than the postmodern movement that onlookers associate with his designs. A truly whimsical piece has little structure, and the liquid appearance of the Fuwu version is undeniably fluid. It can be hung vertically or horizontally, depending on the size of your vanity or credenza. If you're eyeing up the piece to place over your bathroom vanity, here's how to choose the right size for your bathroom mirror.

If you love the wavy shape of Westman's mirror but your style leans organic, there are some earthy variations on the wavy mirror look. This Wavy Wood Mirror from Trahome on Amazon measures 20 inches by 30 inches and is priced at $79.00. The visible wood grain on the frame adds a warm, timeless touch to this lighthearted design. The wood also juxtaposes the unnatural shape, giving it the perfect modern twist. In short, this mirror can update your space and add an element of the youthful and unexpected, without taking away from the serene atmosphere. 

Earthy colors are most certainty in. If you like to keep your home up-to-date in a timeless way, Westman's mirrors might feel a little too reminiscent of last year's oversaturated color schemes. Or, perhaps you already have a lot of colorful, bold decor and want to incorporate a wavy mirror moment minus any extra color. 

The current color trends for this year include chocolate brown, deep red, clay pink, and soft greens in muted tones. Because this mirror is a neutral tone, you can have more fun with the color of the wall behind it. Try mounting it on a terra-cotta or dusty rose accent wall. Rather than neglecting transitional spaces like hallways, use this mirror and a coat of paint to make every inch of your home look intentional. When choosing a spot to hang it, however, take note that this mirror can only be mounted tall side up. As one review noted, there aren't attachment points for mounting it in a landscape orientation. 

Although Westman's designs already have a feminine quality with the curved lines and fluid shapes, they don't exactly fall into the cutesy coquette aesthetic. If you love a fun, flirty, and unapologetically feminine interior, there is a stylish solution. Go for the adorable Eloise Wall Mirror from Urban Outfitters. The wavy shape has a bow at the top, adding a hint of kitschy charm. It is priced at $59.00, and it comes in both silver and gold frame options.

Urban Outfitters showcases this mirror against a fun, floral wallpaper backdrop. This is a great design concept if you really want to lean into the playful look. Maximalism might be winding down a little from its initial no-holds-barred exuberance — but it isn't going away completely. This year is more about thoughtful maximalism, meaning bold, detailed interiors, but without tons of clutter. Another major trend is bow decor, which makes this mirror the perfect introduction to the ribbon-inspired aesthetic. 

Westman's mirrors have an undeniably retro appearance. In addition to the shape, the colorways are a blast from the past. Solid, pastel tones give a nod to mid-century design, and this dupe has a similar effect. It is a floral mirror from Amazon, called the Fobule Light Green Scalloped Wall Mirror. It is priced at $85.90 and measures 2 feet in diameter. The iron-framed mirror comes in pale green, pink, black, and gold, and feels like somewhat of a hybrid of Westman's flower mirrors and squiggle frames. It also has a thinner frame than Westman's original design, making it more versatile and a little more understated — ideal for more mature interiors, but where you still want some whimsy on the walls.

Scalloped decor is another hot trend, and although similar to wavy, squiggly decor, the scalloped pattern has a more longstanding history. While Westman's squiggle pattern originated around the 1930s, scalloped edges can be traced all the way back to the Victorian era. If you have a historic home that was built in the 1920s or earlier, you may find that scalloped patterns are a better fit for your space than the more abstract squiggle mirrors. This particular mirror could be a perfect way to add back softness and charm into a sterile-feeling bathroom. If you want to echo the pattern, you could even enhance the look with a scalloped tile backsplash. For instance, imagine the pastel colorways of this mirror, against something like this Homeart Peel and Stick Backsplash. For more inspiration, here are nine of the trendiest ways to incorporate scallop designs into your home. 

The Westman squiggle mirror looks like it was "punched out" of its rectangular frame, and the American Art Decor Wavy Framed Mirror has a very similar pattern, but the frame is more low-profile. This affordable find from Target doesn't feature straight sides, but it does sport that same flat surface and wavy motif. Plus, the lavender color is quite similar to the lilac options in Westman's mirror collection. As far as size goes, the dimensions on this Target mirror are a little smaller than Westman's Curvy Mirror Mini, but still large enough to have practical utility as an entryway mirror or for bouncing light around. The price is $39.99 for the lavender version, and a couple dollars less for the gold version.

This mirror is a stylish, budget-friendly way to incorporate some pale pink into your home, and get a dose of Westman-esque squiggly charm. Try enhancing your at-home office or workspace by hanging the mirror above your desk. Playful workspaces can actually enhance productivity and inspire you creatively. Alternatively, this mirror could help to bring a sense of youthful lightheartedness to the straight lines of a console or credenza vignette. 

Although Gustaf Westman's designs are curvy, they are still symmetrical. If you're craving something even more offbeat, go for a piece that is both wavy and asymmetrical. The Hockwertiges Irregular Wavy Black Mirror is unique in its asymmetry, and it can be hung in various ways. Described as "casually elegant," it comes in both black and white. The smaller 20-inch by 24-inch variation is on sale for $59.50, and the larger 30-inch by 36-inch mirror is priced at $97.99.

Top designers defend asymmetry as one of the key qualities of a well-curated space. This mirror can introduce the designer-approved concept and give you a starting point with intentional misalignment. Too much symmetry can actually appear unnatural and unnerving. Asymmetrical mirrors can also act as art pieces, making them excellent centerpieces for more complex displays like gallery walls. You can also hang it alongside textural pieces like straw wall plates or three-dimensional wall art.

Full-length mirrors can be pricey, and Gustaf Westman's Large Curvy Mirror goes for $2,400.00. However, Wayfair has a highly-rated standing mirror that features a chunky, squiggly-shaped frame. It comes in three colors, including a striking hot pink. The shade leans more rosy than the pale pink option in Gustaf Westman's full-length mirror collection but it could be perfect if your palette leans more towards bright, strong pops of color instead of soft pastels — and the price makes this a hard alternative to beat. The Wayfair Wrought Studio™ Irregular Wavy Full Length Mirror is on sale for $139.99, and it measures 63 inches by 24 inches. While the frame doesn't feature straight sides or the punched-out look of the Westman full-length mirrors, the chubby sides and wavy motif give off a similarly avant-garde and playful feel.

The size of this mirror, paired with its multiple mounting options (freestanding, leaning against the wall, or mounted), means that it can be a practical piece for a closet, bedroom, or dressing area. However, a mirror with so much personality and pizzazz also doesn't have to be relegated to closet areas. A lot of product images of Westman's full-length mirrors showcase them propped up in living spaces — one of the five best spots to install a mirror in your home. Adding a personality-packed, full-length mirror is an easy way to inject eye candy and energy into a living room design. Just be prepared, a mirror of this size, with this much color and quirkiness, is going to become a focal point, so make sure you locate it in a spot you want the eye drawn to. For surrounding decor, a few timeless colors that complement hot pink include slate blue, honey, ivory, and even red if you want to curate a tonal maximalist look.

If you have your eye on Westman's curvy mirror in the micro size — but the almost $500 price tag is putting you off, here's a Target alternative: the Pillowfort™ Wave Kids' Mirror. True, this small mirror from the Pillowfort line doesn't come in bold colors (just white), and its frame profile isn't quite the same as the Westman mirror. And yes, it's marketed for kids' rooms. But shopping the kids' section makes sense of you want pieces that mimic Westman's design style, as it's inherently playful. Plus the price on the Pillowfort mirror makes this piece a no brainer (it's only $35), and multiple reviews mention that it is a hefty little mirror featuring sturdy construction. The raised, stepped, wavy frame has an irresistibly chunky look, and the 20-inch by 16-inch size makes it quite versatile. 

With its 20-inch height, this mirror is tall enough to be use for a quick hair check before you head out the door. However, it's still small enough to be blended into a fun gallery wall. As for orientation, this mirror can be mounted both vertically and horizontally.
