In the Clear...

I am a huge fan of Lucite. It adds glamour and light to any room and works especially well in small spaces – noticable and just shy of invisible.

A Lucite coffee table for me was a "must have" and I wouldn’t trade it for the world. I had it custom made to size and I love it for its functionality, good looks, and its ability to take up very little visual space in the room. Although Lucite is seen as modern, this is a misconception as it also works well in a traditional space.

Another favorite of mine are Lucite curtain rods and towel bars - they appear to float on air. This detail always gets attention, which rarely happens with wood or metal ones.

I am always looking for places to incorporate Lucite. I am currently working on a long bench with Lucite legs for a client that will serve as her coffee table and ottoman. The great thing about this piece is its multi-functional appeal. In the future she can be use it at the foot of her bed, in an entry hall, or place it next to a dining table for seating.

My advice today? Add a little old hollywood glamour to your space with a touch of lucite. Quality Lucite is never an inexpensive option, but the creative possibilities are “clear” and limitless…
