The desire to be different is constant. In the same manner that personal tastes in clothes determine a person’s image, home decors tell so much more about the homeowner. It sets variety and creates a unique identity among neighbors and peers. If you are planning a renovation consider glasses as ornaments to reinstate the warmth and vibrancy of your abode. Decorative glass has been long used since 19th century in home refurbishments. Since the time of the Romans various types of fancy glasses are used to create a neo-classical style. Presently glasses are used in the construction of architectural structures both in huge infrastructures and home redecoration.
Glasses with designs are very pleasing to the eyes. It adds beauty and distinction to windows, doors, tabletops, cabinets and other furniture. With various designs and colors available in the market it is easy to choose between different variations that will easily blend with a preexisting home décor.
Creating a different look for the house is very easy. Glass instantly adds color and style without the hassle of a major overhaul. Here are a few tips how you can spruce up the look of your home without spending too much on home remodeling and renovation.
Make the living room welcoming. Sliding glass doors serves as primary entrance to the home. Since it is made from glass it permits large amount of daylight and creates an overall lighter atmosphere. Studies have shown a correlation between daylight exposure to productivity and good health. People who live in lighter places exude an aura of happiness and have lesser tendencies of depression.
Make the kitchen easy to clean and manage. The kitchen is a place where food is prepared and intimate family conversations are shared during a meal. A glass in the in the tabletop adds style and space. Another practical use is that glass tabletops are easy to clean and maintain. Making it spotless is easy by use of a lint free fabric and a dishwashing liquid.
Frost the windows to make the bathroom private. While shower curtains provide privacy while bathing it also blocks natural light from the sun. Frosted glass doors are different from ordinary glass. It is tinted and translucent at the same time. It allows warm light to pass through but provides seclusion when taking a shower. Decorative mirrors can also be added to increase the appeal of the bathroom.
Make bedrooms a better place to sleep. Don’t use blinds and curtains to cover the warm light of the sun. Instead use glasses that have different patterns. It hinders excessive amount of light from entering the room and only allows minimal daylight needed to make the room bright.
Glass creates illusion of space. This is the reason why interior designers use it as a favorable material when designing. It comes in a wide variety of colors that can either be opaque or tinted.
