The main advantage of glass pieces of furniture is that they perfectly are in harmony practically with all styles and the directions in the world of interior design. Glass is combined with absolutely different invoices, flowers and other materials therefore its presence in the room will only improve and will emphasize interior decor of interior. It is reached also by the fact that the surface of glass easily gives in to external dressing in the form of sputtering, gilding, to frame metal that is additional benefit.
Many are frightened off by fragility of glass therefore they hesitate on use of such furniture. But today apply different technologies of protection and processing to give to these products durability and to protect them from damages. In tables and bedside tables use the calcinated glass which is capable to sustain rather powerful loading, apply special protective layer on mirrors to keep its smooth surface.
Glass changes space not only at the esthetic level, in addition there is one more "ability" of this material. The fact is that presence in the room of glass furniture can increase considerably it visually, thanks to transparent walls through which there passes light. For this reason the glass furniture especially is suitable for small rooms which due to play of light will look much more the actual sizes.
Shortcomings
Glass furniture requires regular and very thorough care. If not to do it, then on it dust, traces from hands, ware will be noticeable. Besides, she demands very careful attitude to herself, otherwise its surface will quickly become covered by ugly scratches and chips. Such mechanical damages cannot almost be removed therefore it is better not to allow them.

Therefore behind doors of cabinet or bedside table there has to be always ideal order. Incorrectly picked up glass furniture can create the atmosphere of coldness in interior, having deprived of it cosiness. For this reason it is necessary to approach its choice attentively. In all other cases the furniture from glass gives the chance for the embodiment in reality of extraordinary design decisions and serves as peculiar tool for visual expansion of space.
