Feng Shui Tips for Kitchen Decor: Decorative Glass and Counter Tops

Pam Gaulin
Relaxing water blue is captured in these glass countertops. Choose from clear counter tops, textured blues, or even recycled glass countertops to add the Feng Shui element of water to your kitchen decor.

Bio Glass

Bio Glass is not just for countertops. These Bio Glass sheets could be used on walls or as backsplashes. For a deep blue Feng Shui water effect choose the textured Ocean Sapphire. Or go for a more natural water hue, Oriental Jade.

The White Diamond is a clear and natural option that can bring the water Feng Shui element to kitchen decor. Bio Glass is made by CoveringsEtc.

Natural Color Glass Counter Tops

Another way to add the Feng Shui water element to kitchen decor is to use clear glass counter tops. ThinkGlass makes clear and light blue counter top that may be clear, but are not boring. These coutner tops are textured and shaped, like pools of water.

ThinkGlass has a round counter top with thick edges, making the kitchen counter or kitchen island look as if it is a pool filled to the brim with cool, crisp water.

One modern take on glass counter tops from ThinkGlass is their clear counter top textured with small squares. ThinkGlass also combines their glass counter tops with back lighting, and some of their kitchen counter tops can be naturally paired with stainless steel, adding yet a deeper Feng Shui reflective element to kitchen decor.

Recycled Glass Mosaics

If you like the look of glass mosaic, but don't want to make the mosaic yourself, you can purchase a recycled glass mosaic counter top from Vetrazzo. According to Vetrazzo, their pieces are made of 85 percent glass and all of the glass used is recycled.

These creative and environmental mosaics look like both modern art and like a piece of nature. The small mosaics, especially those made with earth colors, look like a bit of river bed that was found, taken homeand persevered as a counter top.

Choose from the white Cubist Clear, or go dark with Charisma Blue with Pantina. These glass mosaic peice bring in water and earth, for a feng shui kitchen decor. The mosaic color palette also includes Millefori, with colors plucked from a modern art painting.

Water Reproduced in Glass Counter tops

The Renaissance Glassworks textured glass counter tops will make you look twice.

Their Model COM001Kitchen counter tops (Model COM001) look most natural in bright blue Azurelite, Clear, and the almost clear Crystal color. Their Evergreen glass counter top will remind you of worn sea glass found along the seashore, as will their Amber glasscounter top.

While any of these glass counter tops can be used to bring the Feng Shui element of water into kitchen decor, two of these counter tops also fit the Feng Shui color for water. For a doubled Feng Shui effect choose either the blue Azureite or the deep Onyx.
