This guest post is by Priti Singh

Using glass in the interior is like creating a new model home for people of the future. Yes, we always feel happy when we see our reflection, ah…especially teenagers who love to spend long hours in front of a mirror.

The idea of using mirrors in the interior is to give a wonderful effect to your room and make it looker bigger. It has now days become a trend to have a full sized mirror in your living room since it adds a glossy touch to the interior and eventually expands the actual space.

Well, you can use mirrors at every place of your choice but we Indians do believe in Vastu Shashtra, and hence according to vastu, you should not face a mirror while you sleep in your bedroom.

The idea is to create a new model home for people of the future and the one with luxury liner that has sailed into. Emerging trends have returned to glass and plastic in interior design ideas.

Time passes by, fashion and trends change accordingly, new styles are born and old ones die, but the glass is not retreating from its position. Instead, it has flexibly and seamlessly fitted into every trend that come and go.
