Why Glass Shelves are Perfect for Your Home

If you are moving into your new house or doing an update, and is pondering about design and decorating options, consider glass shelves as part of your home decor. Glass shelves are a great alternative to wooden shelving, providing enhanced beauty, pleasing lighting, versatility and extra storage space, while being low maintenance, yet durable and strong. Let’s check out these benefits that glass shelves provide in more detail.

Glass has a way of bringing more appeal to space by making display areas appear brighter and cause them to stand out. They are eye-catching and brings a certain level of sophistication and flair to a room. Glass wall shelves can easily be the focal point of a room because it adds shine and brightness and gives a light and airy look to space.

Glass shelves can make space seem larger, thanks to the transparency of the material, which allows you to see the wall behind the shelves. You can increase your bathroom space, for example, with custom tempered glass shelves for a vertical wall, over-the-sink, and corner storage. Corner shower glass shelves, for instance, gives the perception of more shower space. Glass shelves help to free-up counter space and gives you an easy way to store items.

If you want versatility, glass shelves do not disappoint. Glass shelves can fit into just about any interior design aesthetic because they are available in a variety of sizes, different display options, and they can be altered to perfectly suit your desired layout and needs.

Unlike traditional wooden shelves that can darken up space, glass shelves allow light to shine through from above and below. You won’t have dark corners where light can’t pass through, and you can get creative with lighting, by placing spotlighting under the glass shelves to create a beautiful under-lighting effect that could really pop at nighttime.

The glass may seem like a fragile thing, but that is not necessarily the case. Glass used for shelving is strong, can be configured structurally to support heavy weight and it can withstand wear and tear for decades. Dust and fingerprints can easily be wiped away with a glass cleaning solution.

Glass shelves have incredible benefits that you could enjoy. They can enhance the beauty of a space, fit your specific need because of versatility, increase storage space, brighten up a dark corner and remain a part of your home decor for many years.
