What is the Heart of Glass range?
The Heart of Glass collection puts our favourite glass furniture items in one easy-to-browse section, allowing you to create a new look for your whole home with a Heart of Glass furniture pack, or replace key furniture items that might be looking a bit tired.
Our Heart of Glass collection is so versatile, making it popular with homes of all styles and a variety of inhabitants, including chaotic families, pet parents, and sophisticated couples alike.
Why use glass furniture?
Glass brings many unique benefits when used for furniture, both upstairs and down, including:
- Clean lines with a modern feel
Thanks to its barely-there appearance, glass furniture fills your home with clean, sharp lines that create a minimalist effect.
Take our favourite extending wood and glass table set, ideal for family dining. The wooden legs add warmth and a sense of sturdiness thanks to their comparable width, while the extending glass tabletop provides a modern contrast.
- Making smaller rooms feel larger
Including glass furniture throughout your home is the easiest way to make more bijou spaces feel bigger.
Thanks to its transparency, the room, inhabitants, and surrounding objects are visible through the glass, allowing your eye line to remain uninterrupted. This gives the illusion of more open space to smaller or busy rooms.
Similarly, this transparency allows light to flow around your home, which also lends a sense of airiness that helps a small space to feel larger than it really is.
- Being is easy to clean
Unlike metal furniture, which can streak and smear if cleaned incorrectly, glass furniture can be touched up easily and quickly – cutting back on that ever-growing chore list.
Simply dust with a soft, lint-free cloth (like a reusable microfibre cloth) on all sides, including the underside if you are cleaning a glass table.
Then, if needed, use your favourite window or glass cleaner or non-alkaline soap to gently cleanse the glass, drying it off with a soft, damp cloth afterwards to prevent watermarks.
Fingerprints can easily be buffed away with a soft, dry cloth between cleans, keeping your glass table, TV stand, or console shining for days to come.

Frequently Asked Questions
All glass furniture from the Heart of Glass collection is safe for children and pets. This is because all glass furniture is made from tempered glass, which makes it incredibly hard to break unless exposed to very significant impact.
Tempered glass is around four times stronger than normal glass and the process means that if the glass does break, it falls into many small granules, not the sharp and dangerous splinters of traditional glass.

We know that sunlight can cause colour fade for ornaments, wallpaper, and paint – but can it damage your glass furniture?
In some circumstances, direct sunlight can ruin the appearance of glass furniture.
The good news, however, is that this is very easy to avoid – simply cover windows near glass furniture with anything from full curtains to light voile curtains or blinds during the day and the risk is completely negated.
