Breaking the look of pristine objects and shiny perfection, the fractured glass look gives a more dramatic and exciting appearance to almost any item.
For those who want a more decadent appeal to their interior design, a strategically cracked mirror would be an excellent choice, as it doesn’t just sit on the wall; it becomes an eye-catching work of art. Furniture covered in a layer of shattered glass reflects plenty of light from different facets and angles, drawing in consumers who are attracted to the flashy, statement-making pieces. Anything from home decor to fashion accessories become edgier with the allure of danger when they incorporate broken glass detail.
Fractured glass has an elegant yet dangerous appeal to it that can turn most objects into the attention-grabbing focal points of a room.
