It’s the month of love and Saint Valentine, along with his chubby sidekick Cupid, will be hard at work helping luckless lovers and bona fide Casanovas alike to dazzle their better halves with declarations of love and adoration.
While traditionally we make a big deal of love and romance on 14th February, in reality, love is an enduring theme that inspires and delights us all year round. With this in mind, we’ve come up with a few Valentine’s Day-inspired design ideas for frosted glass doors.
Embrace love’s most iconic motifs: hearts and roses.
The great thing about designs featuring hearts and roses is that they’re iconic, versatile and simple. Stenciled rosebud cutouts are beautifully nostalgic, while heart designs come in all shapes, sizes and styles; from the classic to the unconventional.
You don’t need to transform your home into a tacky love shack; be subtle.
Subtle frosted details – like adorning the corners of your frosted glass doors with delicate heart designs – add an understated, elegant touch. Because this kind of design leaves most of the frosted glass doors opaque, it’s great for bathroom and bedroom glass doors or any doors where you need a high level of privacy.
On the other hand, why not be bold?
Nothing says romance like a grand gesture. Big, bold designs are a brilliant way to transform frosted glass doors into daring creative pieces. Don’t be afraid to get playful; a Cupid cut-out on your bedroom’s frosted glass doors sends the message that once you cross the threshold, it’s all about love, romance and intimacy.
Woo with words.
Since the beginning of time, love has inspired poets and writers to pen some of their most memorable verses. If you don’t already have a favourite line about love, take your pick from the countless famous quotes and sayings and incorporate them into the design of your frosted glass doors. For instance, we think that “Where there is love there is life” (Mahatma Gandhi) or “Where thou art, that is home” (Emily Dickinson) are both particularly beautiful love-inspired quotes to incorporate into home décor.
If you don’t want to use an entire quote but like the idea of using words, why not incorporate just the word ‘love’ in different languages, sizes and fonts into your frosted glass design?
True love is about protecting your loved ones, so choose frosted window vinyl for your frosted glass doors to protect your family.
Frosted window vinyl is a versatile, easy-to-install alternative to traditional glass sandblasting. When it comes to frosted glass doors, using vinyl instead of sandblasting is safer, too. This is because sandblasting makes glass thinner and more likely to break. For this very reason, most sliding doors cannot be sandblasted. Frosted window vinyl, on the other hand, makes glass shatterproof. This is a great bonus safety feature of frosted window vinyl.
Frosted window vinyl decals provide protection in another way, too: window vinyl blocks out dangerous UV rays, protecting your family from the damaging effects of the sun.
