Plexiglass, or plexi, is a durable, strong and versatile material that is increasingly being used in our daily lives. In addition to its well-known industrial applications, such as plexi uprights, façade cladding and advertising displays, plexi is also gaining popularity in interior design. The material combines functionality with aesthetics and offers endless creative possibilities.
In this article, we provide some original ideas for using plexiglass in your home and show you how plexiglass can give your interior a modern, fresh look.
Plexiglass furniture – light and modern
Anyone who likes a sleek, modern interior will have seen transparent chairs, tables or side tables. Plexiglass offers the perfect solution: where glass is too fragile, plexiglass is light, sturdy and durable.
Why plexiglass furniture is a smart choice:
- Transparency: creates airiness in a space, ideal for smaller rooms.
- Durability: resistant to knocks and daily use.
- Easy to maintain: simple to clean with a damp cloth.
From minimalist chairs and tables to creative side tables or wall shelves, plexiglass furniture fits into both modern and classic interior styles. The material allows light to pass through, making spaces feel larger and brighter.
Plexiglass in the kitchen – practical and stylish
Plexiglass is also increasingly finding its way into the kitchen. Side panels for a kitchen island, splashbacks or protective panels are practical applications that also give a modern look.
Advantages of plexiglass in the kitchen:
- Easy to maintain: a damp cloth is often sufficient.
- Colour options: plexiglass is available in various colours and transparencies, allowing you to fully personalise your kitchen.
- Repairable: if the plexiglass gets scratched, it can easily be polished.
Please note: Plexiglas can expand at higher temperatures, so keep this in mind when installing flexible sheets near cooking surfaces or heat sources.
Other creative applications of customised plexiglass
In addition to furniture and kitchen solutions, there are numerous other interior design solutions that utilise plexiglass:
- Partition walls and room dividers: transparent or coloured plexiglass can visually divide spaces without blocking light.
- Decorative panels: wall decorations, art installations or accent panels in plexiglass give your interior a contemporary look.
- Windows, display cases and displays: ideal for showrooms, offices or home use.
- Lighting elements: plexiglass diffusers or lampshades provide modern and atmospheric lighting.
Thanks to customised plexiglass, you can tailor these applications entirely to the dimensions and style of your interior.
