None other than Glass

I recently worked on a presentation for college about glass. I learned about the earliest form, how its made into different products but mostly how incredibly beautiful it is. Glass has been around from the earliest of time starting with Obsidian, which I am sure you are familiar with as a gemstone in the jewelry world =). We have since over the years created works of art along with millions of beautiful and creative versions for personal and professional use in building and design. I have always been fascinated by different types of glass and how its used and made, so I decided to do a little post about the very popular glass tile. Glass tiles come in a variety of styles and shapes and can come in sheets for easy installation. The variety of colors they now range in is absolutely breath taking. These are such a great way to add that little "umph" into your space without the hassle of having to paint or remodel the whole room. I have some examples I found that I think are so beautiful and unique! Let it inspire you and maybe you will add your own glass tile design to your home.


The iconic kitchen backsplash! This is a great way to add a little color to your boring kitchen walls. Or if your trying to update your outdated kitchen this is a great simple way to start.


Most people know about putting glass tile in the bathroom, it just makes sense. This is an absolutely beautiful and breathtaking example of how simple glass tile can make your space look super chic. This sea green tile not only brings in so much light into the room but it adds so much elegance into the bathroom by making it a focal point. Such a beautiful design.


Here is another example of a great focal making the main wall in the bathroom much more interesting. It can also help tie in the other theme color in the bathroom.


This is more of a non-conventional way to use glass tiles. Make you living area more elegant, placing the tiles around a fireplace makes it interesting and gives it something extra without having to paint of install any fancy stone.


This is a fun way to use glass tiles! Love the little color splash on the wooden table.


This is a very cool way to add something different to your bathroom. Don't like the look of regular glass tile? How about heat responsive color changing tile! It changes color when there are temperature changes. Super fun and great for the querky design lovers =D
