Decorating With Glass

With a little creativity, decorating with glass can add a great deal to a room's look and feel. Sandblasted, etched, and stained glass can add flare to your décor and distinction to your home. Designed glass gives homeowners an affordable way to instill personality into any room of the house.

Sandblasting and etching allow artists to transfer virtually any design – from geometric designs to elaborate landscapes – onto glass. These designs can add to just about any decorating theme, from Victorian to contemporary.

Stained glass is usually associated with more classic styles. Turn-of-the-century pieces can be replicated to add color to a room with wood paneling, or give accent to a kitchen with that “country” look. Stained glass is probably the most common way of incorporating glass into your decorating scheme.

Here are just a few home decorating ideas about how you can incorporate designed glass into your décor, but the variations are limitless.

• A free-standing glass screen in front of a fireplace.

• An inset wall panel with back lighting for dramatic illumination.

• Glass panels over a low wall.

• Panels in front of windows to give color to the incoming sunlight.

• Transoms above doors .

• Dividing panels between vanity and shower areas in a bathroom.

• A free-standing screen acting as a partition between living and dining areas.

Decorating with glass will give your décor a lot of bang for your buck. Keep it in mind next time you decorate.
