Furnishing your home with Murano glass: 10 ideas

Venice is still today the capital of artistic glass processing thanks to the Murano masters. Here are our suggestions for furnishing a dream home in the lagoon




Have you just bought an apartment in Venice and are now thinking how to make it even more beautiful? For the furnishing of a dream home in Venice, there is no better raw material than that offered by the city itself, namely the fine craftsmanship of its master glassmakers. Murano glass is famous all over the world and the many shops that produce it are able to create pieces that we can place in the most disparate rooms of the house so as to give a touch of originality and beauty. The main feature of Murano glass, in fact, is its craftsmanship, mostly manual, which, for over half a millennium, has made each object a unique piece. To vary, as well as the style of the shop, will be the raw material used and the production process.



In general, Murano glass differs in the initial processing which can be aventurine, with the use of copper wires, filigree, lattimo, which evokes oriental porcelain, and crystal, the purest. Then there are the second processing techniques carried out therefore not hot, such as decorations, engravings and grinding: among these the glass fusing used to obtain the colorful murrina. These different options make home furnishing possibilities almost unlimited and above all give ample space for customization.



Furthermore - and it is another strong point of Murano glass - the artistic quality makes it suitable to be combined with any type of interior furniture, from the most classic and traditional to the most modern, from casual to elegant. Even with colors, thanks to the possibility of diversifying, there are no foreclosures and you can play by juxtaposition or by contrast, depending on our strings. Even with regard to home environments, there are no limits to the imagination. Murano glass is declined in many different objects that can be placed in different areas always in the sign of a dream home decor. Here are the tips from our experts:

Murano glass chandeliers


They are probably the most classic home decor ideas, which were once reflected in the large multi-branched chandeliers with pendants that shone in the halls of villas and castles. Today we can focus on these classic objects or choose modern design proposals. Always with the Murano brand


Paperweight


Also perfect as a gift idea, they are part of that category of objects capable of illuminating an entire room on their own. Perfect for adding a touch of color to the studio


Vases in Murano glass


Depending on their artistic value, we can use them in different ways: as a real support for our most beautiful plants and flowers or as a work of art in itself to be exhibited in a place in the house capable of enhancing it, such as a pedestal.


Murano glass flowers


On the other hand, we can choose to play on the content instead of on the container. That's why for a dream home decor, a transparent crystal vase with colorful Murano glass flowers inside could be an excellent starting point. There are also countertop versions, perfect as a centerpiece


Statues


It ranges from the most modern to the most classic creations, from animals to Carnival masks. Fantasy has no limits like our passion for dream home furnishings.


Wall clocks


From the more regular and rigorous lines to the softer and almost sensual ones, in a single piece or in several pieces, with or without a pendulum. The combinations for a wall clock are many and to these are added the colors, vivid, bright, which will match those of the wall or will shine by contrast.


Bottles


Real collectibles as well as accessories for a dream furniture, they can adapt to the windows of the living room up to the spaces of the master bathroom.


Washbasin


Picture it on a plain, white wooden shelf. It will have the effect of a decorative vase, but with the practical function of accompanying you from the moment you wake up. A perfect way to introduce art into everyday life.


Mirrors


Perfect in an entrance hall as in a bedroom, in a more classic style perhaps with golden borders or inserted in a colorful frame with murrine. It may be the right home furnishing idea for that wall that you didn't know how to enhance


Tables


There are the classic coffee tables to be inserted in the living room or you can opt for a meeting table, of important dimensions, for a study where creativity and art cannot be missing.
