We tend to think that architectural glass is something exclusive to corporate buildings because we often see large scale glass installations in grand entrances and foyers. Because of this association, most of us don’t think of glass as a material that can be used abundantly in home interior decor. In fact, stunning effects can be achieved in homes.

Let’s look at some examples.

• Brightly colored glass wall panels make fantastic artwork for living room walls, especially if they are backlit.
• Use abstract glass designs in showers, or as bath panels.
• A simple table-top takes on a whole new demeanor when covered with colored glass.
• Thick glass makes a stunning splashback or kitchen counter top.

• Create internal walls to divide rooms with glass.

• A glass staircase – expensive, but beautiful!

• Glass doors – smart and modern!

• If you’re on a tight budget, choose a glass sink instead of a ceramic one to give your bathroom a contemporary feel.

• Use large glass vessels or vases as decorative pieces around the home.

Today, glass is immensely durable and tough. Glass companies are continually experimenting with new techniques and making beautiful, creative and versatile products th1at range from partitions and screens to magnificent glass doors, ornaments, and counter tops.

Glass is unquestionably contemporary. It spreads light and lifts the mood of any room. When backlit, the effect is awesome – a room can appear completely different when night falls. Glass – a fashionable way to decorate your living spaces. Don’t be afraid to use it!
