Before choosing glass, define what your space should express

Start with the intended location, visual feel and surrounding materials to turn abstract preferences into a clear direction for material selection.

## Describe the space before choosing the material
When choosing decorative glass, start with a few words that describe the atmosphere you want: calm, bright, open, or richer layers of light and shadow. Connect these words with the intended location, and the material direction becomes clearer.
At an entrance, for example, you may focus on the texture people notice first; in a lounge, consider the relationship between sightlines and the backdrop. Clarify the feeling you want before discussing material options with the designer.

## Consider glass within the complete palette
Glass usually appears alongside stone, wood finishes, metal and lighting. When reviewing samples, gather samples of surrounding materials, photographs of the space and visual references. Compare the colours, texture scale and overall style together.
A texture you like on its own still needs to be assessed in the actual project setting. Images help communicate a direction; final details are best confirmed with physical samples.

## Prepare requirements that are easy to discuss
- Bring photographs or a simple floor plan and mark where the glass will be used.
- Collect two or three visual references and explain whether you like the colour, texture or overall atmosphere.
- Note approximate dimensions, quantities and timing; clearly mark anything that is still undecided.
- Confirm the structure, installation conditions and applicable requirements with the project team.

Clearly explaining the questions to be resolved gives sample selection and later discussions a stronger direction.
