When most people think about glass they will likely picture windows and drinkware. Surprisingly, the original use for the material was as a cutting tool. In the last 75,000 plus years though there have been big changes. Today you can use it for a huge array of applications, including interior touches for different properties. We want to look at some of these today, then you can choose the best architect in London if you need help with a project.

Partitions

Traditionally most properties were split into individual rooms. However, the open plan movement changed this dramatically. Today more and more people are looking at partitions to help split up large spaces when they need to change their use or allow different activities at the same time.

Glass is a really good choice if you do need partitions. It has the benefit of being able to separate spaces to close off an area and provide privacy but still allow light to filter through. It can also help with energy efficiency. Plus, the right glasses can be very durable and long lasting while also helping with the aesthetics.

Doors

In a similar vein to partitions, you can use glass for interior doors. Often every door within a property will be solid wood. It can stop light from filtering through the property. Swapping to glass can make spaces much lighter. They can also be real statement pieces of decor.

Shelves

You will find shelves in every single property in one way or another. Glass ones are a really popular choice at the moment. They are statement pieces but offer a number of benefits. For example, the glass is easy to clean, durable, scratch resistant, and enhances the aesthetics. It is the best choice for modern interiors.

Objects

There are also lots of options for different glass objects. They can be little knick-knacks or statement pieces. You can choose things like vases, bottles, art, and more. Glass tables and chairs are wonderful choices too.

Colours, textures, and more

The greatest thing about choosing glass for interior touches is that you can be really creative with your choices. While standard clear glass is always an option, you can also find lots of products including colours, textures, and levels of transparency. You can select what speaks to you and achieves the look you want.
