From subtle accents to major focal points, glass makes a beautiful and functional addition to any kitchen or bathroom design. Glass features lend a sleek, attractive appearance to your rooms and even make them seem significantly larger. Here are a handful of ideas from window and mirror specialists.

4 Ways to Use Glass in Kitchens & Bathrooms

1. Windows & Mirrors

Increase the natural light in your home by adding windows to kitchens and bathrooms. Transoms – small windows set above doors – and skylights are especially useful for bathrooms, since they provide privacy and light. They also offer proper ventilation to prevent the growth of mold and mildew. Sliding mirror doors create the illusion of more space, while frosted glass provides opaque cover for shower doors or windows without making the space feel cramped or divided. In the kitchen, expansive picture windows above the sink will let in bright sunshine. Stained glass adds a unique decorative touch. 

2. Light Fixtures

Globe lighting over bathroom vanities will make the space look more elegant while improving the quality of light that you use to get ready for work or outings. Add programmable LED bulbs to your chosen ceiling lamps or sconces to change the mood of the space.

3. Countertops & Cabinets

Install pull-out shelves with window cutouts in your bathroom to display your favorite linens and make the area feel more spacious. Instead of a plain medicine cabinet above your bathroom sink, install one with a mirror front. Glass tile backsplashes in kitchens come in many colors and offer a glowing sheen for a modern look. They’re also nonporous, making them more resistant to stains.
