Indulge In These Glassy Delights


Who needs rose-tinted glasses when you can opt for a spectrum of colourful glassware instead? Glassware trends have been bold and vibrant in recent years, and we're here for it.


The allure of coloured glassware lies in its ability to infuse a burst of colour and visual intrigue. Why settle for clear when you can embrace the vibrancy of colour?





A Historical Influence

Coloured glass has its roots in the stained glass windows of churches, where it transformed light into captivating stories through intricate designs.

Over time, the charm of stained glass has made its way into modern-day decor. These stories have transitioned from windows to find their place in our homes as decor and finishes.

It's All About The Light Play

Coloured glass plays with light, transforming it into warm glows and adding depth and drama to your home, whether it's natural sunlight or artificial lighting.

Strategically position these pieces to let light dance and reflect throughout your space; a vase near a window or tinted glassware under a pendant will help create that stunning tinted magic. As always, achieving balance is essential. Pair coloured glass with natural textures or neutral backgrounds to let the colours pop without overwhelming the space.

A Trend That Travels Hand In Hand With Sustainability

In today's eco-conscious design landscape, sustainability and coloured glass join forces. Tinted glass often incorporates eco-friendly dyes to minimise pollutants and showcase how beauty can coexist with sustainability.

Repurposing glass is another beautiful way to reduce our environmental impact. Discarded bottles are transformed into new treasures, as seen in the Oli range from ferm Living. By recycling glass, designers contribute to waste reduction and give glassware a sustainable makeover.
