Does your home feel disorganised and in desperate need of an update? Are you looking for ways to revamp your layout without expensive construction work?
Consider investing in internal glass partitions instead!
While they’re most often seen in offices or public facilities, glass dividers for rooms can be used in residential properties, too – making a modern statement by creating internal glass walls.
Whether it’s a glass partition for the living room or a glass partition in the kitchen, glass room divider panels can make a huge difference to the functionality and aesthetics of any space.
Available in custom sizes from bespoke suppliers like The Glass Warehouse, here’s a helpful list of seven places around the home that can be optimised with internal glazed screens.
1) Entrance
Some properties may have a front door that opens into a hallway, while others may lead directly into the main living area. If you don’t have a distinct entrance space to transition from the outside to the inside, this can make the room feel vulnerable and chaotic.
Fortunately, it’s easy to separate the space by your front door into its own entrance area by installing a glass screen or creating a vestibule with glass partition walls.
2) Stairs
Similarly, staircases are transitional spaces that need to be sufficiently separated from the rooms they connect – but at the same time, they need to feel open and light.
This can be a difficult balance to achieve in narrow hallways. However, replacing stair spindles with glass balustrades or even enclosing the staircase with a floor-to-ceiling glass partition can keep the staircase safe and distinct without feeling completely disconnected.
3) Living Room
Do you have an all-in-one floor plan with a lounge-kitchen-diner? This open-plan style is fast going out of fashion, as people now prefer individual spaces to cook, eat, and relax.
Keeping kitchen sounds and smells contained is straightforward with glass partition walls, which still allow an open look thanks to their transparent or translucent material. Likewise, you can create specific zones for dining and watching TV with a partial glass divider.
4) Kitchen
If your dining area is located within a standard kitchen layout, there’s also the option to implement a partition screen here to set the space apart without enclosing it.
There are several other ways to make use of glass dividers throughout the kitchen, too – especially if you want to create a designated pantry or utility area. Glass partitions make it easy to create a small corner room within a larger room for a dedicated purpose.
5) Bedroom
If you live in a studio, glass dividers will be a godsend when it comes to giving you a private bedroom area without blocking the flow of light through the rest of the apartment.
Alternatively, in a regular bedroom, you may want to use a glass partition to designate a dressing area, hobby zone, or workout space. This can help you to keep clothes, cosmetics, crafting materials, and gym gear tidy so the rest of the room feels calm and uncluttered.
6) Bathroom
Bathrooms are one of the most beneficial places to make use of glass partitions – as these dividers are not only durable, but also waterproof and simple to wipe clean.
So, if you have a wet room and want to separate the shower from the rest of the facilities, or you share a bathroom and would rather have more privacy around the toilet, installing a frosted or tinted glass partition will do the job with a slim footprint and sleek style.
7) Home Office
Remote working has been on the rise in recent years, but not everyone is fortunate enough to have a spare room in their home where they can set up their own private office.
Again, if a pesky open floorplan is getting in the way of productivity or achieving a healthy work/life balance, glass partitions can help you to allocate a defined home workspace. The thicker the glass, the better it will be at muffling distracting noises from outside!
