Link with glass
If you have, or have your eye on a property that has two separate buildings, the glass may prove the ideal material with which to connect. It connects the spaces without losing the sense of the opening, or the novelty of having two buildings.
Here, the height of the glass and its thin frames create a strong link with the garden - beautiful when the weather is good. In winter, a space like this could be made to feel more comfortable with curtains or blinds, or you can embrace the gel and revel in the fact that you are warm and comfortable.

Be aware of glare
people often forget the glare problem by trying to bring more light into their homes. Remember that glass no longer reflects most of the materials, and it is worth keeping this in mind when deciding whether or not to go for it.
Transparent furniture retains the visual open space, however, and allows light to penetrate further into a room. The reflection of the tree in the glass office can be quite welcome to this workstation.

Create a space measuring shower
glass is an ideal material for use in bathrooms, especially if they are on the small side. It keeps the light and open shower areas, which means they can be pressed in even the tightest spaces. Glass can also be used to screen a toilet or basin without obscuring them entirely, and it looks elegant and sophisticated, too.
only consider a glass screen may require a bit more maintenance, such as watermarks show more easily than on opaque materials. If you live in a hard water area, invest in a squeegee to remove water from the glass after each shower -. It will keep scaling minimum

Updating a work plan
Many of my clients who want to upgrade their kitchens are often happy with the presentation of their units, and just want to replace the cabinet doors and work surfaces, rather than go for a complete makeover.
glass is a good option for countertops because is difficult, attractive and easy to clean. The surface rebounds reflecting light around the room much more than any other material, keeping it light and airy, and it comes in a range of colors to suit all diets.

Replace your splashbacks
Many kitchens have tired tiles on the walls, and re-grouting often offer a temporary solution that quickly begins to look dull again. Sheet materials are more hygienic because there are no small cracks where germs can hide.
A glass backsplash is made of thinner glass that is used on the work plans, so it is an affordable option and you'd be surprised how much difference it can make. Consider mixing your materials - say a wooden worktop with glass backsplash - to create interest and character.

Add a skylight
for difficult spaces and rooms without vertical window and no opportunity for the installation of a skylight could be the perfect solution. A large sheet of glass that covers a large part of the roof will greatly improve the quality of light in a room. It will also create that magical feeling, allowing you to take advantage of changing cloud formations during the day and the stars at night.

open shelves are very popular in kitchens for the moment, because they keep open sightlines and stop the room from becoming too heavy. For me, however, the dust collection ability is too much. glazed units offer the best of both worlds, keeping the visual space open while protecting anything stored inside.
You can also create a wow factor by painting inside cabinets a different color for the exterior, or aligning with the wallpaper. Or why not try special effects lighting at night?
