I’m building a house right now and I’m thinking about using glass blocks for an interior wall/partition (office from living room), but I keep changing my mind about it.
Sometimes I see photos where they look sooo good and I’m immediately like yes, I want that. They can look really beautiful and interesting, especially with the light coming through.
But then I’ll see another interior with glass blocks and suddenly they look really dated or kind of cheap 😅 And I honestly can’t figure out what makes such a big difference.
So I’m curious if anyone here actually has them in their house, especially as an interior wall or room divider.
Do you still like them? Would you do it again?
And if anyone has photos of their own space, I’d really love to see them! I’ve seen a million Pinterest photos at this point, but I’d much rather see what they look like in normal, lived-in homes.
Also, if you have any idea what makes them look good vs. bad, please tell me because I clearly can’t figure it out 😂 Maybe it’s the type of block, the grout, the size of the wall, what’s around it… I don’t know.
I really love the idea but I’m also scared I’ll put up the wall and then realize I chose the ugly version of glass blocks lol.
