It
is only recently that Glass has emerged as a Viable Option for Decor Purposes.
As glass is so fragile, few opt for it except at a subdued or minimal level.
Most people underestimate the usefulness of this material in changing the
appearance of the interiors if used in the right way. It will not only enhance,
but transforms the decor of any place.
There
are many forms in which glass may appear as part of a room. That depends on the
Texture and Treatment it receives. It can be present as doors, roofs,partitions, floors, as part of a wardrobe, furniture or as artifacts and individual pieces. A plain glass door for a Library would look better with
Beveled Edges but when it is used for a partition there are several options. A
partition serves the triple purposes of giving privacy, marking off a section
as well as being a Decorative, Artistic Piece. Treatments such as Slumping,
Multi-layered Etching or Cluster work in the glass make a Stunning Partition.
Depicting flowing water, intricate designs etc., can be embossed on sheets of glass by
multi-layered Etching and Cluster work. Another option is shattered glass in
which a piece of glass is kept between two others and the centre piece is
shattered, rendering a striking effect. This provides a focus for the decor. A
Glass Door in the place of Wood can also be Structured to show the Grains of
Wood. A Mesh Glass or a Door in which pieces of Slumped Glass are set in an
angle can be used for a Pooja Door, thus giving Ventilation and Privacy.
The decor appears lighter and there is at the same time light, Ventilation and Privacy where necessary. Breaking up the wood, finish of a wardrobe with
Ornamental Glass gives it Openness and Artistic Taste. A glass partition helps
you to close off one section without creating that explicit impression.
A
glass wall that reveals the Beauty of Garden is Fresh in its Effect and a Glass
Path that leads to the Entrance with Water Having Marine Life Flowing
Underneath gives a Splendid Effect. Roofs too can be made of Glass. It can be
utilized in an open Skylight Area to provide Ventilation and Structuring of the
glass can be done according to it. Having a Tiled Glass Roof is a good idea.
As
open bathrooms are much in fashion, glass partitions will lend openness and
help in demarcating the area. A glass wash basin next to a dining section will
look Sleek and be useful at the same time.
Pepperingthe furniture with glass decoration relieves the monotony and adds elegance.
Novel ideas like, Odd-shaped glass for Coffee and Dining tables, Small glass
display pieces etc., would be Artifacts worth displaying. You can even have
Glass Sofas or Centerpieces balanced on pieces of glass kept on top of one
another or a bar cabinet that appears as a block of melting ice. There is noend to the Imaginative ideas that the Glass can Portray.
