Rethinking the Look of Things No. 56 - Square Peg-Round Hole


Our home should hold meaning that touches our soul. I find that a round mirror or round window do that very thing. I relate this to the idiomatic expression of square peg-round hole which describes the unusual individualist who could not fit into a niche of their society.

The uniqueness of a round window plays out the rebellious approach to utilizing an uncommon window shape. And selecting a round mirror above a linear surface offers juxtaposition. 






A circle symbol represents the infinite nature of energy. Also a symbol of protection, wholeness and timelessness. And the spiritual symbolism of mirrors is that they reflect truth. This combination of meaningfulness is certainly something a home dweller can feel is touching their soul.






Encouragers suggest that affirmations and self-love expressions spoken into a mirror have an impactful effect on our soul as well. This with the combination of the symbolism of the circle and mirror mentioned above offer one's home more than just a decorative element.






Where will you filter this meaning into your home? Will it be reflective or the window to your world?
