The Ultimate Guide to Designing with Custom Glass for Interior Designers

Glass. It's sleek, modern, and can instantly elevate a space. But gone are the days when its use was limited to windows and mirrors. Today, custom cut glass offers interior designers a versatile and exciting medium to transform interiors, adding a touch of sophistication and personality. This guide dives deep into the creative possibilities of custom glass, offering inspiration and practical advice for your next project.

Custom glass is a master of illusion, capable of creating definition without sacrificing openness.

  • Open Concept Living: Floor-to-ceiling glass partitions, like stunning glass murals or glass panels, create distinct zones in an open-plan layout while maintaining visual flow and maximizing natural light. Imagine a seamless transition from a living room to a dining area, separated by a textured decorative glass wall that allows light to permeate the space.
  • Bringing the Outdoors In: Large architectural glass walls blur the lines between indoors and out, inviting nature into the home and creating a sense of expansiveness.

A World of Textures and Finishes

Our custom glass isn't transparent; it can be textured, colored, and patterned to match any design aesthetic.

  • Modern & Minimalist: Clean lines and simple forms (like our LINI and NATURA textures) are enhanced by our high end glass. Think sleek glass shelves in a minimalist kitchen or a frameless glass shower enclosure in a spa-like bathroom. A glass counter in a powder room can add a touch of understated elegance.
  • Industrial Chic: Textured glass with a ribbed or hammered finish adds a raw, urban edge. Imagine a loft space with a dividing wall made of textured glass, reminiscent of vintage factory windows. Explore our full range of textures here.
