When decorating with glass, you'll find a wide array of design options with color, texture, and multi-functional pieces. Glass used as furniture and accent pieces provide functional storage and opportunities to showcase your creativity and style. Whether you're looking to add a touch of elegance, a pop of color, or a minimalist charm to your home, here are some inspiring ideas to help you decorate using glass and shelves that complement your home or office.

Create Artsy Focal Points

Treat your glass shelves as display spaces for your favorite art pieces, sculptures, or decorative objects. Experiment with different heights, textures, and colors to create visually captivating arrangements using your favorite colors, such as a stained glass photo frame to sit atop your shelves or other items that reflect your taste and style.

Our custom cast glass will inspire your ideas and introduce beautiful ways to bring a stunning focal piece to your shelves and your entire home or office space. Cast glass is a molded or textured glass that is made by placing float glass in a kiln over top of a mold with the desired pattern embossed into it. This process means the glass can be placed over imprinted patterns in different ways that will produce a different effect resulting in a custom piece.

Color Coordinate

Use glass shelves as a canvas to showcase your color palette and tie together different elements of your interior design scheme. Arrange books, vases, or decorative displays to complement or create contrasting hues. Consider using back painted glass.

Back painted glass has some unique uses in interior design including custom floating shelves and best of all an array of colors can be used. This look is created by applying a coating to the back surface of clear or textured glass. When applied it results in a look that can appear as opaque or translucent accenting the chosen color.

Mirrors Enhance Your Surroundings

Take advantage of the reflective properties of mirrors when thinking about glass shelves. When incorporating mirrors into your décor you are opening up the space. Mirrored accents or mirrored shelves can add depth and dimension to your entire room while amplifying the light in your space.
