If you’ve ever stood in your living room and wished for more natural light, or dreamt of a kitchen that feels brighter and more open, you’re not alone. Modern homeowners are rethinking how glass shapes the way we live as a design feature that transforms everyday spaces.
From sleek shower screens to vibrant glass splashbacks, glass has become one of the most versatile ways to refresh a home. It’s the subtle details, a frameless edge, a reflective surface, a clear connection to the outdoors, that turn good design into something extraordinary.
Reach out to our team today at Eltham Glass. With tailored glazing solutions and expert installation, we make it simple to achieve a look that feels light, modern, and made just for you.
A Clear Shift Toward Light-Filled, Open Spaces
Homeowners are increasingly choosing designs that maximise natural light and blur the boundaries between indoors and outdoors, and glass is at the centre of this shift.
Large fixed panels, sliding glass doors, and custom window glazing bring a clean, modern aesthetic while making rooms feel bigger, brighter, and more connected to the landscape.
At Eltham Glass, we help homeowners achieve this balance of light and privacy with tailored glazing solutions. The result is a home that feels open, inviting, and beautifully illuminated throughout the day, a hallmark of modern Australian design.
Whether you’re renovating or building new, our experienced glaziers can help you choose the perfect glass to brighten your home and elevate its style.
The Latest in Glass Design Trends
Glass is playing a starring role in home design, offering both aesthetic impact and everyday practicality. Here are some of the latest trends to inspire your home interiors.
1. Mirrors That Brighten Spaces
Mirrors have evolved from purely functional pieces into key design features. Large wall mirrors are being used to visually expand rooms, amplify natural light, and add architectural interest.
At Eltham Glass, we supply and install custom-cut and polished mirrors for bathrooms, entryways, and living areas, designed to perfectly suit your space. Whether you want a simple frameless finish or a bold statement piece, our team can help you make the most of this timeless trend.
2. Coloured Glass Splashbacks
Gone are the days of plain tiles; glass splashbacks are now a standout trend in modern kitchens, bathrooms, and laundries. Easy to clean, heat-resistant, and endlessly customisable, they’re a stylish way to introduce colour, reflection, or even printed designs into your space.
Eltham Glass offers custom-measured splashbacks in a range of finishes, from subtle neutrals to bold tones, ensuring your splashback complements your overall design vision.
3. Sleek Glass Tabletops
The minimalist movement has inspired a rise in glass tabletops, delivering a clean, contemporary look while showcasing the craftsmanship of the furniture beneath. Toughened glass tops are durable, easy to maintain, and suitable for dining tables, desks, or sideboards.
Each piece from Eltham Glass is precision-cut and polished for a smooth finish that combines style and strength.
4. Pet Doors Built Into Glass Panels
A growing number of homeowners are integrating pet doors directly into their glass panels, blending convenience with a clean, modern aesthetic. Whether fitted into a sliding door or fixed window, these installations provide easy outdoor access for your pets while maintaining security and insulation.
Eltham Glass offers custom pet door installations using high-quality craftsmanship, ensuring functionality without compromising design.
5. Fixed Panel Shower Screens
Fixed panel shower screens continue to dominate bathroom design, offering a light, open, and luxurious feel that enhances even compact spaces. Using quality materials, Eltham Glass designs and installs custom shower screens to your exact measurements.
The result is a sleek, watertight enclosure that’s easy to clean and built to last, a perfect example of form meeting function.
From striking splashbacks to practical pet doors, these glass trends are reshaping how we live and design. At Eltham Glass, every installation is made to measure, expertly fitted, and built for long-lasting beauty and performance.
