Since its forging in 1933, plexiglass has come a long way. It was once valued for its tough and functional nature, but creative homeowners are now unlocking its aesthetic potential in new and inspired ways. It’s not just for bus stops anymore – frosted, colored, or lit plexiglass offers limitless possibilities to transform your home into a contemporary work of art.
Join us as we explore the inventive ways you can utilize this acrylic wonder in your home:
- Shelves. Beyond boring, cumbersome wooden planks, plexiglass shelves add a sleek, modern, minimalist element to any room. You can illuminate your favorite trinkets or display items by installing LED lights along plexiglass shelves for a stylish accent wall. Alternatively, go bold with colored plexiglass or create visual depth with frosted finishes. Whichever style you desire, the options with this material are endless.
- Kitchen Backsplash. Tired of stained tile? Plexiglass offers much-needed protection to your precious tile surfaces. A plexiglass backsplash addition with attractive designs or colorful patterns can also inject your cooking space with contemporary flair. Light bounces off the crystalline acrylic surface, creating a bright, airy kitchen aesthetic.
- Picture Frames. Showcase your fine art and photography with the crystal clarity of plexiglass framing. Free of reflections and glare, plexiglass enhances viewing while preserving your cherished works. And since acrylic is shatter-resistant, you can confidently display plexiglass-framed pieces in high-traffic areas, like your living room.
- Windows. Worry no more if you live in an active area and are constantly worried that your home windows or sunroom will meet a shattering end. Plexiglass windows are a lightweight and cost-effective alternative to traditional glass. They’ll withstand much more force from projectiles, keeping your windows functional and flawless year-round.
