Home Bargains’ huge scalloped mirror has gone viral and with a £12.99 tag, it’s easy to see why. Shoppers have been flocking to Home Bargain stores to pick up the mirror after it went viral on TikTok and with its gorgeous stylish finish, it’s hard to believe just how affordable it is.
Mirrors not only pretty to look at, but they have a functional and transformative effect, too. Carefully positioning your mirror, you can make small rooms look bigger and brighter.
So when this £12.99 bargain hopped onto the shelves, it was worth taking a look. Its scalloped design is very similar to Next’s £60 Clear Scalloped Round Wall Mirror, but at a tempting £47 cheaper.

The Home Bargains scalloped mirror
With a generous 65cm diameter, the Home Bargains scalloped mirror is a great choice for a bathroom or to hang in your hallway. The mirror has a bevelled edge, which gives it an elevated modern look. And this stylish touch impressed a lot of shoppers, who flooded to TikTok comment sections.
‘Home Bargains, here I come,’ one commented under a video by creator @the.ashton.home. And creator @willandjordsfirsthome made a video detailing how they just had to take the mirror home.
‘I was looking for one for a little while and I kept putting it off but then saw this and immediately got it! £12.99 I couldn’t believe it.
The price point is definitely an advantage to the Home Bargains scalloped mirror, but how does it compare to the Next counterpart?
Next’s Clear Scalloped Round Wall Mirror measures in at 60cm making it a little smaller than Home Bargains version. However, it been specially tested for use in bathrooms - to ensure it is bathroom suitable and protected against corrosion and distortion.
There is no information to say the Home Bargains mirror has been tested in a similar way, and it is only available to buy in store.
What’s more, the Next mirror is available in a second colourway - hot pink. This funky mirror would make a great addition to any bedroom or dressing room.
Like Home Bargains, the reviews for the Next mirror are also excellent. ‘Bought for our bathroom that has just had a refit. Lovely mirror to finish off the room and looks classy,’ one said.
‘Great quality, bought it for the downstairs toilet and looks fab and made such a difference. It's a good weight so needs strong fixings. It was a one manage job though.’
Overall, the Home Bargains mirror wins on price. We all know Home Bargains is the place if you, well, want a bargain, but this price point also suggests that quality is unlikely to match that of Next’s.
There’s no doubt that it’s a beautiful mirror, but Next’s mirror has been tested for durability which suggests it could last longer. However for £12.99, this is a gorgeous buy and one of the most affordable large mirrors on the market. As a dupe it looks incredibly similar to the Next mirror – it’s hard to tell them apart.
