There is something amazing about utilizing glass in design. As an aesthetic material in your home, it can be used in virtually every room – letting in light, adding shimmer, and even making any space appear less cluttered. Here are some of our favorite ways to add glass in simple ways which can add elegance, sophistication, and beauty to your home.
Glass can evoke feelings of water and movement, amplify the color spectrum, and keep light shining brightly into your home. Depending on the thickness of the glass, the bevel or tempering, you can achieve a wide variety of design effect.
Shower Doors: Creating a custom glass door for your shower eliminates the need for shower curtains which can get moldy and gross. Glass shower doors are long-lasting, easy to clean and much more hygienic than those hanging curtains. Glass shower doors are aesthetically pleasing, and you can choose to use frosted glass to add privacy without losing any beauty. Building a glass block wall instead of a door is a modern and unique alternative.
Glass Stairway Railings and Steps: If your contemporary home has a large staircase, consider using glass railings to keep your view unobstructed and to make you space more open. Glass steps are a bold design choice, although you may want to frost the bottoms of the steps for modesty purposes.
Glass Tables in Small Spaces: A simple glass table with a clean, modern frame is the perfect way to accentuate a small space. You can add a few accent items for decorating purposes, without crowding the space with a heavy piece.
Glass Sliders: Walls of glass sliding doors have long been a staple in Sarasota homes. These sliders allow for homeowners to see all of the beauty outside their doors throughout the year, and allow for a sweeping view from many rooms in the house.
Glass Walls: If you love the idea of a wide open home, yet still want some division between spaces, glass walls may be for you. A home full of glass and white accents is open, airy and spacious, and is the ultimate in sophistication. Add glass shelving and colorful or elegant accents appear to float in midair.

Glass Countertops : Glass can be utilized on countertops to create completely new aesthetic appeal. Look for a piece of glass with unique design or texture to add interest to an otherwise mundane home feature.
Glass Floors: For those looking for truly unique design elements, a glass floor is an amazing option. Glass floors can allow light to flow down multiple stories, can showcase a beautiful room below, or can simply look pretty cool.
Glass Atrium: Take a sunroom or solarium to a new level, with white trim and a sophisticated interior design. Use glass floor to ceiling, and even for the room, for alfresco dining protected from the weather.
