Homeowners these days are looking to achieve a uniquely modern and sophisticated bathroom décor. Myriad options of bathroom décor can be achieved with the use of glass.

Apart from maximizing on existing room, glass brings visual connectivity with the rest of the bathroom. Transparent nature of glass ensures that there is ventilation and flow of light (natural or artificial).
One of the latest trends is using glass walls between the bedroom and the bathroom. These glass walls are made of Smart glass or switchable that change from transparent to translucent or opaque when light is switched on. On turning lights ON, the glass wall becomes opaque for complete privacy and when lights are switched OFF, the glass returns to the transparent state. From hotel rooms to residential application, this glass lends visual spaciousness and a rich and refined feel.
Glass vanities are yet another unique application in a modern day bathroom. Clear, tinted, frosted, or patterned glass can be used for designing these wash basins.The use of transparent glass countertops is a non-traditional but a gorgeous looking style when combined with light and unobtrusive glass shelves to make the bathroom look larger and brighter.
