Lets be “CLEAR”

by / Sunday, 09 October 2011 / Published in INSPIRATION STATION

Room feel too heavy?  Try reducing your visual weight with transparent furnishings.

I can see clearly now (the rain has gone) okay so this “clear” trend has me thinking of that song for some reason.  Sorry, I deviated for a moment but I’m back now.  So here’s what we’re talking about: 🙂

Why decorate with clear furniture?

Decorating with clear furniture or “Ghost furniture”  provides a modern, clean open and airy feeling to a space.  It takes up less visual weight and virtually disappears when not in use.

Clear and reflective furnishings are ideal for tight spaces and are quite versatile as it blends in with virtually any home décor or decorating style.

It’s all about creating the illusion of space. Careful use of glass, lucite, and mirrored furniture can expand the visual space in your home while still addressing your functional needs.

Where can you purchase these items?

When you google lucite or acrylic furnishings many resources come up like Cb2, Design Within Reach, Crate and Barrel, overstock.com and more.  You can also purchase through Your design partner.

What types of furnishings are available for this trend?  Take a look.

How do you incorporate this with your existing pieces?

Transparent furniture can be used anywhere and everywhere.  From offices, dining rooms, outdoor spaces, and living rooms, to kitchens, children’s rooms, and more.  It can easily enhance the look of any room without overwhelming it.
