Last Updated 19 October 2017, 20:07 IST

Glass is an elegant building material that can be used uniquely for designing modern homes. In combination with natural light, glass can help create unique, spectacular and contemporary homes.

The possibilities of glass usage are eternal, with endless variations and combinations; from fancy glass mirrors to glass countertops in kitchens, glass-panelled wardrobes to a glass that lends privacy at will, lacquered glass that can add colour to spaces to mirrors that can add depth to any space.

For a modern touch

For apartment living, glass walls can be used to give the interiors a chic touch and make the space look gorgeous. Glass is exceptionally flexible and is best at dispersing light and keeping the house bright and well-lit. Glass can be used in multiple ways like a glass partition or a glass door to enhance the modernity of a space.

With lacquered glass partitions, one can have different colours and patterns wafting across a home. When designing a bedroom, lacquered glass opens up a plethora of ideas in wardrobes and wall panelling with its wide range of colours and designs.

Creative ways

Looking to add cool or attractive features to your dream home? One of the trends doing waves in modernising individual homes is to have a glass skylight. According to feng shui, light is the strongest indicator of energy and can greatly influence the quality of living.

Glass skylights are one of the upcoming trends these days and are aspired by many as it lets the sun in during the day and let you gaze upon a starlit sky at night. Today, millennials are considering to build the living area with glass skylights as they illuminate the house and can also be crafted to be energy-efficient.

In the bath

An area that a lot of thought goes into while designing a home is the most private space — the bathroom. Create an incredible and fascinating ambience within bathrooms with glass to make them look appealing and plush. Shower enclosures in glass can help segregate wet and dry areas in the bath. One can choose from various options of lacquered glass to dot the shower splashbacks for that trendy mood while having a refreshing shower. Get over the conventional mirrors and indulge in never seen before reflections that bask in LED illuminations.

Kitchen tales

Open kitchens have been desired by many because of their visual appeal. One can make them very inviting by crafting them with intelligent uses of glass.

However, a useful recommendation would be to opt for glass splashbacks that can take on the vagaries of cooking and still be super friendly to maintain. Colourful kitchen cabinets in glass can enhance the decor of the kitchen and complement the cuisines that are dished out.

Before beginning on glass decor for your home, one mandatory factor to consider is to have the window glass upgraded to a solar-controlled one that can help cut down the incoming heat and let in abundant natural light. Wouldn’t it be a smart choice to reduce electricity bills of artificial lighting and air-conditioning?

When constructing or renovating your dream home, don’t miss to explore the ‘glass’ and its cool usage to experience better living! Well-being is just around the corner with glass. Happy designing!
