Home is where the heart is. Your home speaks a lot even when you don’t. Therefore, it becomes important to design it in a way that evokes awe while making a warm and hospitable ambiance. One material that never disappoints you is glass. It continues to be a material of choice for centuries. Its evolution is a testament of the fact that it is among the rarest materials that works both to fulfil exterior and interior designing needs.
This article talks about five glass decor ideas to ramp up your interiors.
Work around a theme
Our homes are the reflection of one’s taste and preferences, and they mirror our persona. Therefore, it is likely that you would have a set theme. Use glass to align with the underlying theme. If it is traditional, place antique mirrors or stained glass. If it is more on contemporary lines, you can use trendy LED mirrors and geometrical accent mirrors in unique shapes and sizes.
Make colours work
Colour choices are often compromised for getting the perfect shade, but it is not applicable for glasses. Lacquered glass is a boon when you want to blend a glass with colour. You should pick the right shade and match it with the rest of interiors. Lacquered glass can be used as pillars, partitions, wall panels, kitchen, and wardrobe shutters, splashbacks, headboards, and writing boards.
Work with textures
The glass allows the liberty to work with various types of finishes and textures. Unlike conventional belief, glass is more than just a transparent sheet. Frosted, stained, tinted, printed, acid-etched, and a host of other glasses make it a versatile material that can be used in diverse ways.
Glass works both ways
Glass works both ways — aesthetically and functionally. Working on interiors can be a challenge as having an aesthetic value does not mean it will be functional. However, glass is more than just a thing of beauty. It is useful and functional. For instance, installing lacquered glass in kids’ room is not only aesthetically appealing but can also double up as a writing board.
Glass for work from home
The workspace at home has now become a norm. And perhaps no other material allows you to make it a seamless transition, than a glass. Glasses are not bulky, or cumbersome partitions to demarcate different areas. All you need is a sleek glass intervention that allows privacy and does not hamper the aesthetics of your home.
Let your home be the heaven you always wanted it to be, with thoughtful and tasteful decor ideas. Interior space does not need intrusive materials that serve no purpose, rather they mandate materials that belong and are inherent to the space. With glass, you can be sure you have it all perfectly worked out.
