Glass Furniture: Crystal Clear Bathroom Styling
Each year there are a handful of bathroom fashions and trends that emerge and then head straight for the mainstream. These are ideas that leap from the designers and suppliers blueprints straight into the public consciousness.
The most recent of these rapid success stories have been wooden bathroom furniture, bringing a rich, warm, tactile charm into bathrooms across the nation; next up is the use of striking, bold dark furniture in the bathroom and incorporating black to create a powerful monochrome design statement. Finally, and gaining in popularity everyday, is the use of glass in and around the bathroom, so let's take a closer look at the benefits that bathroom glassware has to offer.
Firstly, to get the more basic advantages out of way: Glass bathroom fittings are the easiest option of all when it comes to cleaning; a quick wipe and you're sorted, and they are impervious to water and moisture damage, which can affect other types of furniture after a prolonged spell in a bathroom. It also has the dual benefit of being both reflective and transparent, adding to an enhanced sensation of light and space.
There are several main uses for glass in the bathroom that will reap the biggest benefits. If you have a bath-shower combination unit, then do away with the shower curtain and install a transparent, toughened-glass shower surround. This will protect your bathroom from drips and splashes without blocking out any light and won't feel as though it is compartmentalising your bathroom into ever-smaller sections.
Next up is shelving. A freestanding shelving unit constructed from a chrome finished frame and with toughened glass shelves is a great idea when it comes to keeping all of your toiletries, cosmetics and cleaning products neatly organised in one place and yet readily accessible.
After the main shelving unit, smaller, individual glass shelves of a similar but shallower design can be a great way to separate and categorise your daily essentials. A couple of these shelves placed above your basin can be a handy way to create a €his and hers' storage area, so each bathroom user knows where their preferred products will be at all times.
Finally, a frosted glass accessories pack is a great way to finish off your newly updated bathroom and complement your new glass shelves. A pack that contains a tumbler or two, soap dish, and a glass toilet brush holder will add that final flourish, that last bit of flair and panache, and you will have achieved the bathroom update you wanted, and be right on the cutting edge of bathroom design!
