Glass End Tables | Brighten Up Your Space

Glass has always been a classy design option. Think about a furniture showroom and what your eyes are drawn to. The furnishings with pieces with glass accents call your eyes in to the shimmering of the glass as the light hits it. Even something as simple as glass end tables seem to be self-illuminated with the light from the room being magnified through the glass.

Why not dress up your home with a few of those glass end tables?  When you have a pair of glass end tables in one of your living spaces you will notice the room has a cleaner, crisp look, all because of those simple glass end tables.  As soon as you sit guests near them, you will get compliments, as they enjoy the beauty of the end table’s design and detailing.

Maybe you’re not the simple design kind of person. Conveniently not all glass end tables are simple. Some glass end tables feature beveled glass while others are finished in smoked or frosted glass, giving them a softer and warmer look. Still other glass end tables have designs etched right into them, adding to their beauty and charm.  This etched feature in glass end tables can help you really personalize you space.  If you have a country theme going to your home, you may choose a pair of glass end tables with a country scene etched into the glass. Likewise, if you have a more modern or contemporary motif in your home, the etching can be of a geometric design that complements the rest of your room design

There are also styles of glass end tables that are more like display cases where they have an open glass areas that shows off items within. Some come with fun things inside the glass, such as roulette tables, model ships, or other themed items.  There are also glass end tables that have an open display are, so you pop the top open and add trinkets, souvenirs, and any other things you want to display and create a look that is all your own. It’s kind of like having a shadow box and end table combined in one great piece of furniture.

There are some safety considerations to take into account as you are selecting glass end tables. First, make sure the glass is tempered for safety if there is any chance of items of varying temperatures sitting on the surface. Nothing will be more heartbreaking than to see your beautiful glass end tables crack from end to end and break if a hot dish is set on them and the glass has not been tempered.  Additionally, if there are children who live in or regularly visit your home, you should take the edges of the glass end tables into consideration as you make your selection. You do not want sharp corners sticking out that a little one may run into. Look for rounded corners or glass end tables where the glass top is inside the framework of the table.
