Trend alert 🙂 colorful glass is back, and every home or office needs extra colors 🙂
Glass and the practice of glassblowing date back centuries, but this trend is being redefined in an amazing way today, and most importantly, it has been embraced not only by professional decorators.
Colorful glass: a bit of history
Colorful glass is now visible in many areas of design, including furniture, home accessories, and jewelry.
However, the use of glass in this way is not a new trend, but rather experiencing a true renaissance in recent years. In the 1950s and 60s, colorful glass was all the rage! The mid-century modern era was full of brightly colored decorative items that exuded the positive vibe of that period.
Originating from Rome, the material has recently gained popularity among world-renowned designers such as Patricia Urquiola and Nendo, who have used colorful glass to create collections for Glas Italia in recent years. Perhaps thanks to them, colorful glass has become an indispensable element of home decor in current times.
Colorful glass: how to use it at home?
Like any trend, for those looking for something different for their home, it’s all about having fun and can be interpreted in many different ways with various effects. Manufacturers of various types of accessories made from this type of glass help with this. Starting from ordinary glass vases, which can be not only colorful but also matte or glossy, entire sets of plates and bowls, ending with furniture elements.
The most important thing is to create the perfect mood for yourself. If we have white or pastel (Scandinavian) walls, vibrant and juicy colors of accessories will significantly enhance the look of any interior. Recently, very subtle yet significant accents have been scented candles. You can use them freely and in any number, so even a "regular" coffee table can take on a completely different shape. Colorful glass vases will perfectly fit into such a composition.
The opposite effect can be achieved by using colorful glass to give a room a so-called focal point. A great way to achieve this is with additional, artificial lighting. Whether on the table, wall, ceiling, or floor.
In the aforementioned wall colors, we should choose expressive lighting. A simple way to implement this is by hanging pendants over the dining table or kitchen counter. These areas can handle vibrancy, while spaces like bedrooms can benefit from a more subdued, tonal approach.
Lights chosen in rich colors can literally brighten up your space!
WOW Effect
A simple yet very effective way to introduce colorful glass into the home is to use it as a material in the bathroom or kitchen. It can be used as a panel, shower screen, or sink. A "white" bathroom doesn’t have to be boring at all! In this case, the addition can be both the aforementioned scented candles and other accessories that will enhance this space.
Also try introducing impressive sets of glasses and goblets, so that at your next dinner with friends, they feel special. In our offer, you will find, for example, a modern set of six glasses with a water carafe in black! We guarantee you will make the right impression on your guests.
Colorful plates and bowls will be the perfect complement to any kitchen.
