Dividing interior spaces doesn't necessarily mean only using brick or furniture. Utilizing glass partitions is also an excellent choice. Due to the generally small living spaces in Hong Kong, not every room can enjoy natural sunlight, and too many partitions can make a space feel cramped. So a translucent design tests the skills of designers. Using glass partitions not only delineates spaces but also enhances the feeling of openness. The transparency also allows the limited natural light from windows to reach every corner of the home.
1. Partitioned Rooms
Glass partitioned rooms are quite common, especially in smaller homes. Even if there's only one window, it doesn't block the natural light from entering the home. Consider using frosted glass or adding curtains to increase privacy.
2. Glass Wardrobes
Creating a wardrobe in the bedroom with glass partitions is both practical and stylish. Using tinted panels or frosted glass can mitigate the transparent feel, hiding messy clothing inside.
3. Glass Study Room
Privacy isn't always the top priority for a study room. Using full or half-glass partitions provides a sense of transparency and allows more light, giving an expansive feel while retaining personal space, which also enhances the openness of an adjoining living room.
4. Electrochromic Glass
If you wish to maintain privacy, rooms with electrochromic glass are a great choice. With a simple touch, the glass can transition from clear to frosted, offering a completely private space.
5. Open-concept Dividers
For those living alone, an open-concept home can simply be divided into bedroom spaces with glass dividers. Adding cabinets to these dividers makes better use of space and offers additional storage options.
6. Glass Lofts
If you have a home with a high ceiling, consider creating an open or enclosed loft bedroom. Glass can minimize the feeling of constriction, making the bedroom feel more spacious and bright. Decorate and choose lighter colors, like white, to enhance the sense of space.
