I couldn't vote. I need another option: "It Depends".

It depends on the style and the age of your home.

It depends on your personal taste and preference.

Would those work in my 1920's Tudor? Probably not.

In a hip, modern loft? Perhaps.

I do think if you go with a modern mirror such as that, you should keep the rest of the design as spare and uncomplicated as possible.

Exactly. Not bad at all, but depends on the rest of the room/house. I like them more than I don't, though.

They are currently in a Georgian home we are purchasing. My personal taste is generally minimalist, so I kind of like them. My mother thinks they look like light bulbs. They are going with the owner so regardless I have to find something. Thanks for your input.

They're not terrible, but you can do better.

I like them but don't think they'd work in a Georgian-style home. Depends though on everything else in the room and the mix of styles. Could work in a room where it's more Deco-modern.

Do not like the unfinished edges. That's just a personal thing with me; I always want to see a mirror framed into something even if it's just a thin metal frame.

If you're replacing the mirrors with something else, I wouldn't use the same ones in that bathroom. The granite countertop and fixtures look more traditional.

they would be keepers in a really modern home. I don't know about over the bathroom sink though. more of wall decor in a hall or entryway.
