With perspective: Glass blocks in the bathroom are the interior trend for 2025

Glass blocks in the bathroom will shape the interior trends of 2025.

Originally popular in the 1970s and 1980s, glass blocks are now making a comeback. They not only offer an aesthetic upgrade, but also many practical advantages. Glass blocks allow light to pass through, creating a light and airy atmosphere while providing privacy – perfect for bathroom windows or partitions. In small bathrooms, the use of glass blocks can also help to visually enlarge the space. Additionally, the transparent stones are easy to maintain and durable, making them a practical option for humid environments. When combined with other materials such as wood or metal, they can create interesting contrasts and add depth to the room.
