The best kitchen glass upgrades for your home
Whether you eat most of your meals in the kitchen or move to a dedicated dining room, your kitchen will see more foot traffic than almost any other space within your property.
That’s why it’s so important to keep your kitchen as appealing and useful as possible. This could mean installing new glass products – such as kitchen glass splashbacks or a kitchen glass door – or upgrading what you already have.
To help you make the most of your kitchen, we’ve compiled some handy tips for ways that new glass can deliver the kitchen upgrades you’ve been looking for.
Glass shelving for sleek storage
Design idea: A modern glass wine rack to display your collection
Nothing says prestige more than clear, clean glass. And when it comes to shelving solutions for your home, glass shelves for your kitchen can’t be beaten.
Glass shelves can be used in a variety of ways around the modern home, but in your kitchen specifically, they’re a great storage solution for that collection of coveted pinot noir that you’ve been meaning to show off. Or, for convenience, you may also use glass shelves to hold up your prized assortment of designer cookware.
Not only are glass shelves strengthened to carry whatever level of weight you require, but they use low iron glass to reduce the green/black appearance that you sometimes get on the edges of regular glass. When it comes to kitchen storage, you’ll struggle to find a more aesthetically pleasing alternative.
Glass doors for subtle segmentation
Design idea: A clear view of your stocked pantry
Sometimes, dividing up a living space is the best way to make it feel more efficient and professional. This is just as applicable in your kitchen, where kitchen glass doors can be used to separate preparation areas from where you’ll be dining or socialising.
You could make use of the AluSpace Interior Door and Screen System to create a sleek division between your kitchen and the rest of your home, for example. Or separate your pantry or ingredients cupboard with a clear glass door. You’ll still be able to see what’s available, but keep the room shut away to preserve ingredients and prevent clutter from spilling out into the main room.
The real beauty of using glass doors or screens around your home is how customisable it is. Your options are only limited by your imagination!
Glass top kitchen tables for swish serving-up
Design idea: A contemporary feel for dinner parties
There’s an immediate appeal of a glass top kitchen table that wooden tables can’t quite replicate. Maybe it’s the sense of cleanliness that comes with pristine glass, or maybe it’s the modern look and feel that clear, polished glass can bring to a room.
Whatever your reason, a glass top kitchen table creates a welcoming dining space for your friends and family. And when you combine this with the ability to customise glass with etching or sandblasting, the options are truly limitless.
Glass splashbacks for a stylish showcase
Design idea: A mirrored splashback to make your kitchen feel bigger
When it comes to kitchen upgrades, few have as many benefits as kitchen glass splashbacks. Not only can a splashback be tailored to suit the aesthetic of the rest of your kitchen – such as an antique or mirrored appearance – but the hygiene benefits are considerable.
This is because a glass splashback is easier to clean than a surface like kitchen tiles, so dirt and grime have much less chance to build up over time. You can even install a kitchen glass splashback behind your hob, which catches any grease or oil from your cooking and can then be wiped clean afterwards.
