The discount retailer is selling a ‘contemporary’ mirror that arguably resembles a pricier product
Interior design enthusiasts could be in luck at B&M. The bargain chain is stocking a £16 wall mirror that could be compared to a £60 Next version. Known for selling affordable homeware and furniture, the B&M pick could be ideal for shoppers on a budget.
Available for under £20, the Scallop Edge Mirror is now in stores at B&M. The mirror arguably resembles Next’s £60 Clear Scalloped Round Wall Mirror. Although the styles differ slightly, both mirrors could look stylish in bathrooms, with a similar scalloped edge design that ‘elevates’ the look when displayed on walls.
However, shoppers should be aware that there are differences between the designs. For instance, the more expensive mirror has a larger scallop edge. It’s likely that both mirrors will have their own fans, but for those looking for something cheaper than the Next design, the B&M offering could be viewed as an affordable alternative.
Shoppers choosing between the products can compare product images and descriptions online. B&M showcases the £16 mirror on its website, writing: “Decorate your home with this stylish Scallop Edge Mirror.
“The perfect way to add some contemporary style to your home décor.” Customers interested in the design are advised to check their local store for stock.
Next showcases the £60 mirror on its website, writing: “This beautifully designed, scalloped edge glass mirror has been tested to ensure it is bathroom suitable but would also make a great addition to any wall space.
“The weight of this mirror is 4.5kg. Suitable for wall mounting, fixings not included. All our mirrors come with a wall mounting template to ensure ease in attaching your mirror to the wall.” The mirror is available within one week of purchase when purchased online.
Shoppers buying from Next can read customer feedback before making a decision, as the website enables shoppers to leave reviews for its products, and the mirror is popular among customers.
To date, the mirror has an average rating of 4.9 out of five stars. One happy shopper who rated their purchase five stars wrote: “It’s lovely. Just right for my Victorian bathroom. Not fussy but not too plain. Glamorous but not over the top. Really recommend this for an elegant bathroom or any room where you want a simple but stylish look.”
A second reviewer said: “The mirror looks more expensive than it was. I love the scalloped edge, and it looks fantastic in my new bathroom.” Someone else agreed: “It was ideal for my bathroom. It fitted perfectly above my sink.”
