What is like a sunburst mirror but isn't a sunburst mirror?

[Devora]

My sitting room feels a bit like a waiting room - direct entrance from street, two sofas facing each other, lots of straight lines, no real focal point. The biggest wall currently has two pictures on it, but I think we need something round there - big, round, focal pointy.

I love the idea of a big sunburst mirror but do we reckon they're just getting a bit too ubiquitous? If so, any advice on what else could work? I generally have a bit of a horror of mass-produced wall art but I guess if it was lovely enough I could change my mind.

Oh, and cheap is a definite bonus!

Wow! £700 is vvvv pricey. I'm wondering if I should just give up!

I think this is the longest thread I've ever started. The trick is to write all the posts yourself

I'm leaving the office now; will log on later to see if someone has popped up to tell me that sunburst mirrors are this year's pebbly shite and the next big thing is X, which is newly available for less than the price of spraypainted lolly sticks from Y.

We are saving up for a shoal of fish.

I like those, *CockBollocks!

Charles nice fish! Bet you could make those with some lolly sticks and a tube of glitter glue

Maybe I could create a vintage style starburst with a broken umbrella and some rivets?

I reckon you could start an Etsy business with ideas like that!!

because we can afford the G&G ones

Can't not can!

It's so nice to get all the cheapos on this thread! I swear, everything in my house is from boot sales, ebay or Ikea. Or picked out of a skip and repainted.

Gold star to Ihatemytoes for coming up with something that is like a sunburst mirror but isn't, in fact, a sunburst mirror.

Lots of lovely suggestions but nothing quite hitting the spot. Am beginning to seriously consider creating my own out of broken bicycle spokes and gold spray paint. I could post the results here to give you all a laugh, then sell it on ebay and use the proceeds to buy up Graham & Green.

I have just spent all morning looking for a sunburst mirror. The ones i really really like are so expensive!

Have ended up buying this (its not as big or as sparkly as I'd like, but it is only £24.99 : www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281425066359

Deraila : those are cool. You can get 2 smaller ones the same on ebay for £35 : www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-x-Round-Recycled-Magazine-Mirrors-two-mirrors-CLEARANCE-/291356221970?pt=UK_Home_HomeDecor_Frames&hash=item43d62f2212

PS, i have nothing to do with either of these ebay listings! Its just I thought the prices were good.

Ah, ok thanks. Still deciding whether to order the habitat one as want a big one to fill above fire.

What about this? It's only £16

Ooh, I do quite like that, Dee - pleasingly retro. Can't see the size or where it's from, though?

It's from argos, and is 78cm high.
I'll add another photo with details if you want them

Thanks Dee!

We have this on our living room wall. I had been after a vintage sunburst clock for ages but they do go for ridiculous amounts of £££, and actually out of all the one's I was watching, this is the one I liked best.

I love that, DavetheCat. They are ridiculously expensive on ebay, aren't they?
