Decorating Your Home With Glass

By Hudson Winthrop


There are many types of building materials available for consumers to build or improve their homes with. But few have as many uses or are as beautiful as glass. Glass features not only fill many different roles, they also create a very modern and sleek appearance. In this article, we will look just a few of the many ways that glass can be used to make your home even more beautiful.

Rooms tend to be more appealing when they are brightly lit and have plenty of open space. Many interior designers use mirrors or glass panels to bounce light around the room and create the effect of expanding the open space. If you want to reduce light instead of reflect it, non-reflective coatings can be applied to glass panels to eliminate glare. There are many different colors, patterns and designs available to pick from as well, so you can likely find one to complement any style. Many glass workers are able to create custom designs, which can make your home look truly unique.

So, what is another way glass can improve your home? I'm sure everyone knows what a coffee table is, as they have become very popular in our culture. And, there is good reason for the coffee table's popularity; in fact, the right table always adds that extra something to the living room. But, did you know you can apply glass to really any kind of table? Usually, a glass table top protects the surface of your table, but it still makes any table look amazing.

Railings are the one thing that brings stairs together and glass is easily applied to this principle. In fact, you can get either frameless panels or frames with a chrome-finish, which look amazing.

Glass tiles are another common form that the versatile material comes in. You have probably heard about the upsides of using glass instead of porcelain or stone. Not only are they easy to maintain, they also have a natural resistance to water damage, making them a great choice for any area of the home with running water. With the numerous colors and patterns only available with glass tiles, you can create a truly unique look.

If you walk into any modern art museum, you will quickly notice how many of the pieces were made using glass. This is because glass has a unique look that cannot be replicated with other materials. In addition to its beautiful form, the number of uses for glass and its affordable price make it a great choice for any home.
