Glass is a great accent for your home because of its versatility. As an increasingly popular addition to lifeless rooms, glass can class up a room, add brightness or add a modern vibe. Here are some tips for adding glass accents to your rooms.

• Consider the feel you want your room to have
  • If you’re going for a “modern” vibe, then glass is a great option. The clean lines and edges on glass table tops create a very formal and structured feel.
  • Glass accents are great for formal rooms and offices in your home.
  • If you want to use glass in a “warm” toned room, try adding gold hardware to accent the glass piece and add a classic feel.
• Think about who will be using it
  • If you’re about to invest in a glass table or glass chairs, think about how your kids or pets will use and play with them. If you live in a busy household make sure you understand the strength of your glass and how to protect it from damage over time.
• Consider your design theme
  • Glass paired with white base pieces gives the illusion of additional space in a room. If you’re choosing glass for your home, give thought to the other colors in the space and how they will look together.

• Glass partitions or walls are perfect for open concepts that need added privacy.
