Furnishing with glass

Our tips

Furnishing a house is undoubtedly one of the most common issues of recent times. This is because fashions are constantly changing. The home has become increasingly important due to the pandemic effect. People who used to come home in the evening after a long day’s work are now working from home.

This has led to a change in the idea of space, outdoors and comfort. For this reason, many owners have decided to move elsewhere or simply to modernise their homes. By virtue of their own needs. Having also recognised the importance of furnishing your home with natural materials, today we would like to give you another tip. A material, which is often overlooked, can instead give great prominence to your home.

We are talking about glass! This is why, if this topic seems interesting to you and you are faced with big changes in your home, you are in the right place! Here at Realigro, we are ready to give you all the information you need to use glass to decorate your home! So, if you are ready, we can start with today’s column!

Furnishing with glass

The various finishes

As far as the use of glass is concerned, we must start from the assumption that there are two main types of finish. We have:

  • glass defined as extra-clear: this type is particularly light, delicate and blends into any environment. Moreover, since it is rich in reflections, this glass will not steal the show from the other furniture in the house.
  • If you want a more glamorous effect, we recommend smoked glass. This finish not only enhances the ambience, but also furnishes it in a refined yet impressive way.

Furnishing with glass

After having understood the main difference between types of glass, let’s try to understand how to make this material the protagonist of our home. To answer this question, we have selected the various proposals recommended by experts in the sector. A first way to use glass is to create a real bookcase made entirely of glass.

The experts’ advice is to use extra-clear glass or alternate extra-clear with smoked glass. In this way it will be possible to obtain plays of light, as the reflective power of extra-clear glass is undoubtedly different from that of smoked glass. Through a single material you will therefore be able to have a truly extraordinary and versatile furnishing accessory.

Coffee tables

Another possibility you can consider when furnishing with glass is to use this material to create side tables. Do you have an industrial house and would like to insert a coffee table that can break with these schemes? Why not do it in glass! Also in this case, we advise you to create movement within the structure itself by installing glass drawers or shelves in an alternating and non-symmetrical manner.

Chandeliers

Last but not least, the use of glass for the creation of strong chandeliers, but above all with an effect, we are not talking about the classic 19th century crystal chandeliers. But of structures that can reflect the light of the bulbs in a harmonious but impactful way. In this case, you can choose to use coloured glass or, as the experts recommend, install smart lights that can change colour while maintaining neutral glass.
So, are you ready for furnishing your home with glass?
