How To Add Functional Glass Art To Your Home
Having a home full of art is a great feeling, but that feeling is even better when the art actually improves the function of your home. Functional glass art does just that. There are tons of different things that you can have that would fall into this category, but for the sake of brevity we’ll take a look at glass lighting, bowls, and sinks.
A handmade chandelier is one of the most striking things that you can add to a home. When these are crafted by glass artists there are millions of possible outcomes. It can be as twinkly or as colorful as you like. The best thing about getting a hanging light fixture made by an up and coming glass artist is that you can get exactly what you want for a small fraction of the price that you would pay for one of the “big name” and fancy chandelier manufacturers. There are also artists that make wall sconces, pendant lights, and regular fixture globes.
Glass bowls probably get the most use. You can get a set of one of a kind glass bowls to use as your “fine china” or have a large glass bowl that works as a serving dish, a center piece, or as an addition to an end table or entry way table. These are the most affordable out of most glass art choices. A very high quality and artistic large bowl will set you back less than a hundred bucks.
Vessel sinks are becoming the high-end choice for homeowners and glass artists have noticed this. Hand crafted vessel sinks are the focal point of any bathroom, and when you can get one created exactly to your specifications you’ll be much happier over the long term with it.
Glass art is a great way to decorate your home, but the mantra “function over fashion” will help you get things that improve your home’s aesthetics as well as its function.
