New Year. New view: Transform your
space with Him Imperial’s stylish glass and frames

Glass is being increasingly used in modern architecture both in exterior facades and cladding and in interiors. The use of laminated glass in exterior window panes, balustrades, skylights, staircase railings, partitions, aquariums, floors and ceilings among other areas is only too well acknowledged. Increasingly, glass is also being extensively used in home and office interiors in partitions, furniture, bathrooms, bedrooms, floorings, ceilings etc. It is fast becoming the preferred choice of architects and interior decorators considering that it is secure, stylish, flexible, easy to install, space saving and blends excellently with both wood and steel sections to create attractive interiors. Here is how glass is transforming homes, offices, hospitality, entertainment and public spaces.

Partitions of glass have literally redefined urban interiors considering that space is at a premium. These sleek dividers create distinct private spaces and act as an effective sound barrier while enabling an uninterrupted flow of natural light. They are extensively used in separating living and dining areas, isolating kitchen spaces, and used in both sliding and fixed glass partitions to create space and openness when required. Glass is also extensively used in creating office partitions which give the vision of a large open office space, also reflecting the desired philosophy of a no-hierarchy company. Designers usually prefer toughened glass for partitions considering they are durable and impact resistant.

Home offices are using glass more than ever before considering work-from-home is becoming a norm in most domains. Toughened glass sheets are used in creating elegant partitions, desks and shelves and offer a fine balance between style and functionality. These workspaces offer privacy while retaining openness of the space and don’t interfere with the look and feel of the entire area.

Table tops for centre tables, corner tables, dining tables and corner ledges with clear, tinted or lacquered glass is used widely to transform the look of any space from the usual to the exciting. Furniture with clear glass top surfaces also creates the illusion of openness and space and makes the entire area light and airy.

Mirror cladding on furniture is increasingly becoming another favourite of interior designers. Entrance consoles, bedside tables, centre tables, bar counters etc. are cladded with mirrors to create a luxurious ambience providing the feeling of space. They also reflect light in unique ways creating a mysterious ambience.

Mirrored walls are the other approach to brighten up an uninspiring corner or a cramped space. Mirrors give an illusion of space reducing a claustrophobic feeling and are very commonly used in bars, clubs or restaurants to create space. Special lighting further accentuates the mood.

Kitchens are being made to look vibrant with lacquered glass. This is being widely used in backsplashes, countertops, cabinet shutters, islands etc. to add a well-appointed finish that looks amazing, while staying stain-free and being easy to use. Available in a range of colours, lacquered glass is transforming kitchens offering functionality while offering a vibrant and distinct look.

Digital printed glass is fast gaining popularity as you can now turn your wall into your own canvas. You can print complex designs, patterns, landscapes and several other works of art on glass ensuring areas such as TV backdrops, dining areas, lobbies and sitting areas look tasteful and distinct.

Bed headboards are fast becoming a hot trend in interior design as ordinary bedrooms can now look lively and classy. Designers are blending mirrors with fabric and similar textures to create a modern look with a distinct aesthetic.

Lacquered glass and mirror shutters are a fast-growing design option as they blend form with functionality. Lacquered glass with mirrors are fixed on wardrobe shutters to ensure a seamless blending of the storage areas with space. Bedrooms look livelier, larger and spacious and also create a warm ambience adding a high end touch.

Wardrobes in bedrooms are increasingly using glass panes for that sleek, slim and sophisticated look. They also occupy less space, are less bulky and add to the aesthetic appeal of the space.

Mirrored ceilings are a classic since they double the room’s visual appeal, reflect light and visibly accentuate the décor. This is popularly used in living and dining rooms and creates a sophisticated appeal.

So summing up, glass is becoming an integral part of modern interiors, whether it is homes, offices, or commercial spaces. Its potential in harnessing light, adding depth and providing sleek, stylish finishes has made it the material of choice of homeowners and designers. Just talk to your designer, choose the type of glass that’s best for your application and get going. Create a look that will turn heads and also get more productive in the process!
