Spring is officially here! While you’re busy with spring cleaning and preparing for the warmer weather, odds are, you’re noticing that you’re ready to change up the design of your home as well. With the help of More Than Glass in Richmond, Virginia, you can add custom glass pieces to your home to give it an updated look and feel without the need to renovate your entire home. 

Inside

There are numerous ways that you can update the design of your space by utilizing glass. Generally speaking, glass can be used to add depth and light to a space, causing the room to feel much larger than it actually is. Glass also adds a sophisticated element to any design style.

1. Bedroom: It’s incredibly easy to update the look and feel of a bedroom using glass accent pieces. For example, installing mirrors on the walls of your bedroom will not only provide function as you get ready to start your day but will also invite more light in and cause the space to feel tidier. You can also opt for custom glass or mirrored closet doors to really elevate your bedroom design and brighten up the room. This added depth will open up your space and make your bedroom feel bright and inviting as you welcome each new day.
2. Living Room: In many cases, the living room is literally the most lived-in room in a house. For that reason, it’s likely that this space is more cluttered than the others in your home. Many of our clients have opted for custom glass tables to feature in their living room designs. Glass furniture gives you the functionality of regular furniture while allowing more light to travel throughout the room, making any living room feel brighter and larger as a whole.

Some of our clients have opted for a custom glass pedestal to showcase a favorite work of art in their living room. For homeowners with a collection of items, installing mirrors into the back of your bookshelves will enhance visibility and increase the amount of light in your living room. Plus, these glass accents can be customized to seamlessly integrate into your existing room design. You can choose from a variety of textured options and even antique glass finishes.

3. Kitchen: One easy way to integrate glass into your kitchen space is with a custom glass tabletop. Oftentimes, a glass tabletop can be fitted over your existing kitchen table. Adding a glass tabletop brightens up the space and makes it feel much more sophisticated. Plus, if you’ve got a really beautiful table underneath the glass, you can keep it protected while still showing it off its design.

If a tabletop is not enough for you, our team also offers an array of elegant, customizable glass countertop options. If you’re looking for something more subtle, many of our clients are choosing to add custom glass backsplashes to their kitchens. Glass backsplashes come in a plethora of different colors and textures to ensure that you find the right fit for your design needs. These unique glass features are certainly conversation-starters and can be designed to bring either a classic or modern element into your home.

4. Bathroom: If you’ve got a tight bathroom space with a regular, hanging mirror on the wall, you may want to consider a custom, full-wall or wrap-around mirror. These larger mirrors help open up a cramped room while adding a modern, clean feel to the space. Many homeowners are also opting to add a countertop glass sink bowl to their bathroom design. These sinks are trendy and can add an elegant statement piece to your bathroom design.

Outside

With the arrival of spring and the warmer weather, odds are you’ll be spending more time outdoors. While you’re sweeping off the porch and dusting off your outdoor furniture, you may notice that there is room for improvement in your outdoor entertainment area. That’s where we come in. By adding custom glass to an outdoor space, you can make the area look and feel brand new.

If you have an outdoor kitchen or grilling area, consider installing a mirrored backsplash. This will make the space look and feel cleaner all year long. Some people install custom mirrors in their outdoor living areas atop outdoor fireplaces or in mirrored glass tabletops to reflect sunlight throughout the area, providing a well-lit outdoor space for entertaining without having to worry about installing a large light fixture.

No matter what your design style is, the custom glass professionals at More Than Glass in Richmond, Virginia are here to help find the perfect glass fixture for your space.
