Start the New Year with New Glass and Mirror Ideas

Newtown Edgmont Friends & Neighbors, January 2024

Stylish options for glass and mirrors can add a touch of sophistication and elegance to any space. Here are some ideas to consider:

Glass Options

  • Frosted Glass – Provides privacy while allowing light to pass through. Ideal for windows, shower doors or room dividers.
  • Tinted Glass – Adds a modern and sleek look. Comes in various colors to complement the overall design.
  • Textured Glass – Offers visual interest and can be used for both windows and doors. Patterns like rain, bamboo or fluted glass add a unique touch.
  • Back-Painted Glass – Colored glass panels that can be used for backsplashes, tabletops or wall coverings. Adds a pop of color to the space.
  • Mirrored Glass – Creates an illusion of more space. Antique or distressed mirrors can add a vintage touch.

Mirror Options

  • Geometric Shapes – Instead of traditional rectangular or square mirrors, consider circular, hexagonal or other geometric shapes for a modern look.
  • Frameless Mirrors – A clean and minimalist option that works well in contemporary spaces. Beveled edges can add a touch of sophistication.
  • Antique or Vintage Mirrors – Adds character and charm to a room. Ornate frames or distressed finishes give a timeless appeal.
  • Sunburst Mirrors – A decorative and eye-catching option for a focal point on the wall. Adds a touch of glamour and works well in eclectic or mid-century modern settings.
  • LED Mirrors – Mirrors with integrated LED lighting for a modern and functional touch. Ideal for bathrooms or dressing areas.
  • Mirrored Furniture – Incorporate mirrored furniture pieces like dressers, coffee tables or side tables for a touch of glamour.
  • Etched or Carved Mirrors – Custom designs or patterns on mirrors for a personalized touch. Can be a statement piece in a living room or bedroom.
  • Smart Mirrors – Mirrors with built-in technology like touchscreen displays or integrated lighting for a futuristic and functional option.

Remember to consider the overall design and theme of your space when choosing glass and mirror options to ensure a cohesive and stylish look.
