Glass, colour and light in interior design
Glass can filter, reflect or transmit light, so its colour and texture affect how a space feels throughout the day. In a design brief, note the window orientation, surrounding finishes, privacy needs, glare and the people who will use the room. Compare a sample in the actual light conditions where possible.
Decorative glass is not a substitute for a building specification. A design proposal should identify the intended function and leave structural, fire, security and installation requirements to the relevant qualified professionals. Do not describe an artistic sample as approved glazing.
