Welcome to the 2025 BIA Parade of Homes!
For more than 70 years, the Parade of Homes has been the premier showcase of homebuilding excellence in central Ohio. What began as a bold idea to celebrate craftsmanship, innovation and the dreams of homeownership has grown into a beloved tradition that continues to inspire, excite and set the standard for design across our region.
The Parade is brought to you by the Building Industry Association of Central Ohio (BIA), a trusted voice and leader in the homebuilding industry since 1943. The BIA proudly represents the builders, developers, remodelers and suppliers who shape the places we live, work and play.
Since its inception, the Parade has been a celebration of central Ohio’s thriving homebuilding industry and a time-honored tradition that invites the public to explore the latest in residential architecture, interior design and community development. It’s more than just a tour; it’s a source of inspiration, a reflection of the region’s growth and a showcase of the talented builders, designers and tradespeople who bring our homes to life.
This year’s Parade continues in a scattered site model, allowing you to explore some of the area’s most stunning new homes in a range of neighborhoods and communities. This format gives visitors the unique opportunity to see homes within the actual communities where families will live, showcasing not just the craftsmanship inside the homes, but also the surrounding neighborhoods and environments that make each one special. Whether you’re gathering ideas for your next remodel, dreaming of a new build or
simply admiring the local style and craftsmanship, there’s something here for everyone.
Of course, none of this would be possible without the incredible support of our sponsors. Their partnership is what brings the Parade to life each year. We are especially grateful to Pella of Columbus, our presenting sponsor, for their unwavering commitment to quality and innovation. Their support helps us continue this iconic event and showcase the best our industry has to offer.
We’re also deeply grateful to all of our supporting sponsors, vendors and BIA members whose passion and partnership fuel this event and our organization. Their contributions not only support this showcase of
homes but also help advance the entire industry and the future of homebuilding in central Ohio.
So, whether you’re a first-time visitor or a long-time fan, welcome. Take your time. Be inspired. And most of all, enjoy the 2025 Parade of Homes.
Sincerely,
Jessica McKinney
Interim Executive Director BIA of Central Ohio
Navigating the Parade
An immersive journey
By Ella Jay
What if house hunting felt less like a chore and more like a choose-yourown-adventure novel? The 2025 BIA Parade of Homes invites you to chart your own course through more than 40 unique homes across central Ohio – each one a new stop on the journey toward inspiration, discovery or maybe even your dream home.
From Sept. 18-28, Thursdays through Sundays, the Parade will run from noon to 6 p.m., with featured properties scattered throughout communities such as Dublin, Powell and Grove City – all showcasing the best in residential design, craftsmanship and community planning.
Since adopting its scatteredsite format in 2021, the Parade has grown in reach and flexibility, so you can experience homes in the neighborhood you already love, or ones you’re just starting to explore. Seventeen builders will take part in this year’s event, offering a broad mix of single-family homes, multi-generational homes, condos, townhomes and even apartments.
With so many homes and neighborhoods to explore, you can enjoy this year’s Parade no matter who you are.
The Designer at Heart: From luxurious finishes in Galena’s Miller Farm to inventive backsplash and lighting choices in Reynoldsburg and New Albany, this year’s homes are packed with design-forward details.
Keep an eye out for smart storage units, statement fireplaces and walkin pantries that blend beauty with function.
The First-Time Buyer: With diverse layouts and price points, the Parade is an excellent opportunity to compare what’s available across central Ohio. Walk through a model in Grove City or explore the familyfocused neighborhoods in Dublin’s Tartan West to get a feel for what “home” could look like for you.
Looking for Low Maintenance: Epcon Communities in Grove City and other low-maintenance builds throughout the Parade cater to those looking for comfort, community and clever use of space. Think ranch-style layouts, modern amenities and locations close to shopping, dining and recreation.
The Weekend Explorer: The Parade is just as enjoyable for curious visitors and day-trippers. Make it a day with friends or family as you visit homes in scenic areas such as Sunbury and Plain City. It’s a fun, free way to gather ideas, admire architecture and indulge in a little daydreaming.
Before you head out, plan your route by visiting www.biaparade. com. Each stop on the Parade is clearly marked, and you can easily build a tour that fits your interests and schedule.
Whether you hit two homes or 20, you’ll walk away with fresh ideas
and maybe even a connection to a builder who can bring them to life. Whether you’re imagining your next move or simply love seeing what’s new in homebuilding, the 2025 BIA Parade of Homes is your invitation to explore the possibilities.

No Trend Like a Home Trend
Functional, sustainable and durable rising trends
By Jane Dimel and Elise Conrad
Fashions in home design are forever evolving, from the warm tones and shag carpets of the 1970s to the early 2020s’ preference for more neutral tones and whites.
There is nothing wrong with following a trend that speaks to you, whether it’s a colorful, checkered blanket; a subway tile backsplash; or something in between. These trends can act as time capsules, reminding us of different times and interests in our lives.
Customization, durability, functionality and sustainability all thread throughout the home trends of 2025, from appliances to doorways to roofing.
Appliances
Multifunctional pieces complemented by smart, sleek and sustainable designs are all the rage. We’re talking microwaves with dual and triple functionality, including air fryer and convection oven capabilities. Stainless steel appliances are here to stay, so make sure you order the no-fingerprint finish.
Flooring
Warm tones and expansive, enduring styles give homes the right

tone from the foundation. With engineered materials ranging from vinyl and porcelain to ceramic tile and carpeting, it’s not just about style and comfort; it’s about durability and function. Variation can also come in plank widths: wider or different-sized planks, as well as alternate texture options such as stone.
Cabinets
With natural wood textures and moody earth tones rising over allwhite kitchens, this year’s trends are bringing the outside in and putting the inside away. Appliances and work areas are increasingly tucked behind custom concealing cabinetry and fully functioning butler’s pantries.
Closets
Galley closets are proving popular in 2025, as setups with settees, islands and staged lighting can create a curated oasis space just off the bedroom. These closets are great multifunctional spaces, perfect for everyday routines: everything from getting ready in the morning to kicking up your feet and relaxing in the evening. Warm tones and
custom finishes with specialized compartments for accessories and adjustable shelving set the mood.
Countertops
Sleek and low-maintenance styles are in. Thinner slabs and rounder edges are creeping up in popularity with more earthy and natural options. Common materials include custom granite, terrazzo and quality quartzite.
Painting
Diverting from previously popular browns and neutrals, the 2025 colors of the year are darker with mature hues. Cinnamon Slate, a mixture of deep plum and velvety brown, and Quietude, a light sage with a hint of blue, were named the top colors by Benjamin Moore and SherwinWilliams, respectively.
Lighting
This year’s lighting trends are bringing back nature-inspired designs, incorporating organic shapes and natural materials into chandeliers and table lamps. Sustainably sourced materials are the focus of many home designers
who are working to incorporate solar-powered lighting options and fixtures made of recycled materials.
Fireplaces
The neutral and sleek color palette is here to stay for fireplaces, but in a more sustainable way. Some models feature hybrid gas and electric boxes that use bioethanol and recycled wood waste, as well as new features such as mobile precision controls for heat and lighting and visual upgrades such as soundscapes, vapor mist and LEDs. Capture a more contemporary look with light, durable, limestone-mimicking stone with a black firebox, or create a warm cottage feel with a colorful or mixed material mantel.
Decks and Porches
Wide boards are in, providing durability and a sleeker look for homeowners looking to redo their back decks. Many are turning to materials with a higher percentage of recyclable features, including when installing outdoor kitchens. Multilevel decks and natural tones are also getting attention, as designers and homeowners look to create multi-faceted spaces used for parties and other social gatherings.
Rugs
All types of color and texture meet customization in this season’s rugs and carpets. Customize the size, colors, edging, materials and more by working with experts at galleries such as K.A. Menendian Rug & Carpet Gallery, which works with industry-leading carpet and area rug brands to offer wool and synthetic fiber as well as solution-dyed nylon to provide luxury and durability.
Doors and Windows
Sustainability is also a theme among 2025 door and window trends. Because of the growing interest in environmental responsibility, homeowners are prioritizing materials such as energyefficient glass and renewable finishes. Colorful door and window trim is the perfect way to create a statement and embrace individuality in the home.
Landscaping
While organized, pristine outdoor spaces are praised, 2025 trends embrace less rigidly organized gardens that highlight native plants and lush foliage. Outdoor spaces focus on natural elements and relaxation, which natural growth embraces, allowing for a more organic aesthetic and a shift away from overly manicured landscapes.
Siding
Those looking to refresh their house’s exterior are turning to long-lasting options such as stucco and wood instead of vinyl. Mixed materials have steadily grown more popular over the years, with examples including the pairings of stucco with stone, siding with brick or nature-inspired designs with natural stone.
Roofing
Silhouette and sustainability are key to roofs this year. Minimalist, contemporary styles such as flat, sloped, butterfly and balcony are great for incorporating solar panels, or for providing shade for covered or extended patios and other outdoor spaces. Smart and cooling roofs are great options for promoting energy efficiency, while metal, synthetic and recycled materials are durable and long-lasting for low maintenance.

MultiplicityMultiplicityMultiplicity
Versatile design ideas for rooms that serve more than one function
By Garth Bishop

If you’ve ever turned a den into an extra bedroom, or a dining room into an office, or a basement into a workout room – even if only temporarily – you know that the defined purpose of any given room in the house is never set in stone.
Homeowners have always sought flexibility in their living spaces, but their interest in multifunctional spaces has intensified in recent years, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic forced everyone to spend a lot more time at home. That flexibility has also gotten more important as interior spaces have gotten smaller, particularly in urban areas.
When a room has multiple uses, it can be helpful to designate different sections for those different uses, a concept known as zoning. You can accomplish this with physical
dividers, but you can also accomplish it through strategic placement of furniture, rugs and even lighting. Among the most common means of marking the different sectors of a multifunctional space are:
• Bookshelves and other shelving units
• Couches and loveseats
• Area rugs with distinctive shapes, colors, patterns and textures
• Flexible partitions, such as curtains and sliding doors
• Decorative screens
• Paint colors, such as on accent walls
• Distinctive ceiling styles and finishes, such as coffered or crown molding
• Light fixtures Through judicious use of zoning, you can even create a new “room” out
of a smaller space such as a closet, nook or butler’s pantry. An Architectural Digest story suggests using this method to create a small space for relaxation with soft flooring, such as rubber, mats or low-pile carpet.
Furniture is a key consideration in making a room more adaptable. When you use smaller furniture, or just less furniture entirely, it’s much easier to differentiate the sections of a room that are used for multiple purposes, per interior design firm Studio McGee. As a knock-on effect, rearranging furniture becomes a much quicker and more convenient endeavor when that furniture is smaller and easy to move around.
On top of that, there’s a variety of specialty and dual-function furniture that can be particularly
It’s Not Easy Being Green (But it’s Not That Hard, Either)
Biophilic design and the art of bringing the outdoors indoors
As the recent proliferation of outdoor kitchens shows, many homeowners are seeing the appeal of melding interior spaces and exterior spaces.
Well-placed outdoor rugs, tables, chairs, ottomans and even heat lamps can make an outdoor area such as a porch or balcony feel like a more intimate indoor area, while shutters and panoramic windows can bring the outdoors into an indoor area.
There’s more to that outdoor appeal than just the convenience of being able to cook for outdoor guests without constantly having to go in and out of the house. Studies have suggested a variety of benefits associated with incorporating the outdoors and other natural elements into indoor spaces.
The prioritization of connectivity to the natural environment is known, in the building industry, as biophilic design. Architecture platform Arch Daily points to a long list of potential benefits of biophilic design, including reduced stress and anxiety, improved attention span, greater productivity and creativity, and even lowered blood pressure.
Naturally (pardon the pun), plants are a key element of biophilic design. Options range from small plants for offices to collections of plants in place of furniture to more ambitious projects, such as living walls with a variety of greenery.
Beyond the foliage, there are plenty of ways to incorporate biophilic design into the home. Soft tones, natural building materials, natural light and natural ventilation are some of the biophilic design elements put forth by Architectural Digest. Even the shapes of furniture and accessories can make a difference; curves, per Arch Daily, appear less threatening to the human subconscious than do sharp edges, making them more relaxing.
Strategically placed mirrors can make green elements even more prominent, especially if the mirrors are wood-framed. Water elements can contribute, too: Think aquariums, fountains and water walls.
conducive to efforts to make a room multifunctional. Some of the options you might consider include:
• Sofa and Murphy beds
• Extendable dining tables
• Folding tables for dining, work or study
• Storage ottomans and footstools
• Baskets for throws and cushions
Adjustable lighting can be particularly useful for changing ambience. Dimmable overhead lights make it easier to change the lighting to suit the use of the room, while lighting at different levels –think task lamps for home offices, table lamps for watching TV or entertaining guests, and wall lights and sconces to highlight photos and artwork – highlights different sections of the space, according to home improvement and design website the Spruce.
In order to maximize the use of a room with multiple purposes, it’s important to take full advantage of storage options. Built-in shelving, hidden storage inside furniture or under staircases and organizational bins that can be stowed under tables or in closets stow items easily without sacrificing usable space. Incorporating high-up shelving and cabinetry can free up floor space as well.
Bedrooms are particularly ideal for clever storage solutions. In its blog, design planning platform Planner 5D recommends internal chests or compartments in beds to replace dressers, bed linen storage and even shoe storage, as well as headboards with niches to hold books or décor.
Solid storage options also make it possible to repurpose the kitchen – when it’s not otherwise in use –to act as a temporary workspace or designated homework area. Retractable countertops, mobile islands, custom cabinets with adjustable shelves and hidden drawers are some of the possibilities, per Planner 5D.
According to the Spruce, neutral tones make it easier for the space to evolve with your needs, as well as to add personal touches and decorations. Another option is to paint the room white and use pillows, throws and other accessories to add color, which means you can even change your colors seasonally.

TRENDS
Color Comeback
Color drenching and earthy tones return
By Ella Jay

Picture stepping into a room completely saturated in one color – walls, ceiling, trim and all. Dark or light, one single shade can set any tone you choose with a dramatic yet comforting flair.
Behold the magic of color drenching, or color washing. This bold design trend has gained popularity as more homeowners shift away from the cool grays and whites that have ruled the past decade.
This year, color is making a comeback – and this time, it’s all about warmth, mood and personal taste.
What is color drenching?
Color drenching entails the use of a single shade across an entire room: ceiling, trim and everything in between. It creates a seamless, enveloping look that can instantly change the feel of the space. Depending on the chosen color, the effect can be dramatic and bold, or soft and serene.
The beauty of this trend is its flexibility. A deep, midnight blue may be perfect for a cozy bedroom, while a muted, pastel orange can bring warmth and charm to a powder room or hallway. It’s the perfect way to make a statement without relying on a pattern or busy details, and it works just as well in small rooms as it does large ones.
Back to earth
For years, whites and grays have reigned supreme, taking over kitchens, bathrooms and open floor plans. While cooler, neutral tones create a clean, crisp and classic backdrop, they sometimes lack expression for those craving a moodier, more maximalist space.
Enter warmer, earthier color palettes. Shades such as ochre, rust, olive, plum and even sand add depth without being overwhelming and feel both on-trend and timeless. They also pair beautifully with natural elements such as wood, linen and stone, perfectly in sync with other growing trends: organic modern and biophilic design.
furniture. Homeowners are looking for a sense of grounding, and warm hues combined
This shift isn’t limited to walls, either. These rich hues are showing up more often in kitchen cabinetry, bathroom vanities and living room
with color drenching deliver that.
Your guide to going bold
You don’t have to commit to painting every wall and ceiling in your house a singular color to get in on this trend. Color drenching and earthy tones can be introduced in thoughtful, subtle ways as well, especially if you’re new to bold design choices.
Here are a few tips:
• Start small. Powder rooms, laundry rooms and hallways are great places to try color drenching without going all in.
• Go matte. A matte finish creates a soft, velvety look that feels highend and cozy.
• Mind the lighting. Warm-toned light bulbs can enhance earth tones, while cooler lighting may flatten them.
• Stick to one tone. Drenching works best when the furnishings and decor stick to a similar color family, allowing the space to feel cohesive and stylish rather than chaotic.
• Layer with texture. Not a fan of patterns? Woven rugs, boucle upholstery and wood accents can all add similar depth without feeling messy.
Just one bold room – whether a richly colored office, a soft terracotta guest room or a green-drenched hallway – can add personality and flow to an otherwise neutral home.
Make it yours
There’s nothing wrong with white walls or a soft gray palette. Many homes still feel fresh, beautiful and inviting with cooler colors. But for those looking to infuse their space with something new, warm tones and saturated color offer a fun alternative. Design trends come and go, but the move toward bolder, more expressive colors reflects exactly how most people want their homes to feel: personal, lived-in, comforting and inviting. Your home is your sanctuary, so why not make it uniquely yours?

Color Cues
When considering the size and purpose of a room alongside the mood you wish to set, choosing one color can feel like a lot of pressure. Here’s a guide to finding a shade that not only looks good, but feels good.
Mood
Calming and restful: Colors such as soft sage, dusty rose, lavender and warm taupe promote relaxation and work well in low-light spaces.
Cozy and intimate: Add warmth and drama with deep plum, olive green, navy or charcoal brown.
Bright and energizing: Try warm but subtle colors such as goldenrod, ochre, terracotta or clay pink.
Grounded and organic: Colors such as warm beige, sand, camel and moss green pair beautifully with wood, linen and stone.
Function
Bedroom: Stick with restful tones such as sage, mauve, dusty blue or soft browns to create a relaxing retreat.
Living room: Warm neutrals, olive, clay or creamy terracotta bring a cozy, lived-in feel, especially when paired with neutral textures.
Kitchen: Warm whites, sage green, muted oranges and yellows and even a deep teal offer style alongside timeless charm.
Bathroom and powder room: These small spaces can handle bold. Try an inky blue, blackberry or forest green for a moody effect, or a soft peach or blush for charm.
Size
Smaller rooms: Light, warm tones such as buttercream, soft blush, sandy beige, or light blues and yellows open up a space and reflect light. Want a bolder feel? Drench the room in a darker hue such as navy or charcoal to make the space feel cohesive.
Larger rooms: Richer shades such as clay, ochre and olive create intimacy in open layouts. Just balance the colors with lighttoned furniture, warm lighting and natural textures to keep the room feeling airy rather than heavy.

Open Shelving
The yay and nay of unique storage spaces
By Avery Gillis
and UnitedPhotoStudio1/iStock
Recent trends in interior design have seen a rise in open shelving as a means of practical storage that infuses a space with a minimalistic quality. While open shelving might look great in a photo shoot, here are five things to consider before installing open shelving in your space.
Materials
The most commonly used material for shelving is wood, but open shelving can also be done with metal or even glass. Consider the aesthetic and function of the intended space to find the right fit. Metal shelves provide an industrial accent for the heavy-duty, high-traffic areas in your home. If opting for glass, understand that the elegant shelving style will be more limited in terms of how much weight it can hold. Both alternative shelving options might require professional consultation before installing.
Space and size
Open shelving works wonders in smaller spaces, making the room seem bigger without the added measurements of cabinetry. In an already spacious room, open shelving adds little to the overall design or visual impact. Before

adding open shelving, consider whether the space itself would benefit from the minimalistic approach if something more substantial can pull your vision together.
Installation
It is important to take the construction of the home itself into account when mounting anything on the wall. Anchor points should be drilled directly into wall studs to increase the longevity of the shelf. Drilling into studs provides the shelves with extra support, ensuring that the screws don’t rip out of the wall. Prefab shelving is a great option for those who want to DIY their project, but when opting for custommade shelving units, it might be best to hire a professional to find optimal anchor points.
Function vs. style
Before adding open shelves, think about whether the shelves will be functional or serve a more aesthetic purpose. Functional shelves in hightraffic areas such as the kitchen require less frequent dusting of both the shelf itself and items, while shelves that act as stylistic accents require more frequent cleaning, especially for those planning to display collectibles or family heirlooms. When prioritizing functionality, consider what items are used the most and style them on lower shelves for ease of access. Lesser used items and appliances can combine function and style as they crown the upper shelves.
What’s on display
Whether styling open shelving means showing off a shiny new stand mixer or decorating with flowers, consider that the transparent nature of open shelving means that anyone who enters that space will see what you store there. Homeowners might want to make sure that the shelves reflect their style rather than act as a catch-all location for things more suitable behind cupboards, such as baby dishes or novelty cups. Plan your space efficiently and make sure that there is enough alternative storage space before installing open shelving.

Island Livin’
Finding the right kitchen island
By Disha Hoque
A kitchen island, typically serving as a casual dining and preparation space, is a no-sweat addition to any kitchen and a frequent find in modern homes. Finding the bestfit island can maximize the room’s space and functionality.
There are many different variations, features and styles to consider when choosing the right island for your space.
Variations
Rectangular islands, the most common style, are suitable for most kitchens. An L-shaped structure typically includes extra seating and storage, and is more at home in a larger kitchen. For smaller kitchens, a peninsula-shaped island extending from existing countertops saves square footage.
Though most islands are singlelevel, a multi-level configuration adds an interesting touch to the structure. One level can be dedicated to seating, another to cooking and storage.
An island can be made to hold any number of kitchen standbys: sinks, dishwashers, cooktops, pull-out garbage bins, even butcher blocks. For even more versatility, mobile islands present a perfect compromise between functionality and price.
Layout
Considering the available space, traffic flow and storage needs when
installing a kitchen island helps further optimize the space.
When determining the size of the structure, staying within 10 percent of the kitchen’s square footage ensures the island looks properly placed and cohesive with existing cabinetry.
Considering clearance between the island and the existing counter space is also important. A margin that’s too small can lead to the room looking cramped, while too much space between the island and other countertops can result in the island looking disconnected.
Ideally, the clearance space between the island and the rest of the kitchen is at least 36 inches.
Countertops
Kitchen islands, although a longtime staple for homebuyers, often reflect design and style trends, and the countertops are a key component. Before picking a colorway, though, you should consider durability, maintenance and versality.
Quartz and granite are commonly used for countertops because of their natural-stone appearance, versatility and resistance to damage. These

HISTORY
Originating in the 1800s, the kitchen island first appeared in European homes as a worktable in front of the stove or hearth. The original island structure was typically a necessity and a workstation, rather than a dining area.
The functional aspect of the structure remains present in modern kitchen islands, though islands are used as more than just workspaces.
options match perfectly with most preexisting cabinetry and countertops.
Butcher block and stainless steel are other functional options and add a bold finish to the room: a rustic look for the former, a modernistic look for the latter.
Recently, warmer countertop colors, such as oak-inspired hues, have grown in popularity. A material contrasting preexisting cabinetry and countertops adds a unique twist to the space, while matching the cabinetry or countertops can give the room a unified look. A warmer-toned slab sets the mood for the kitchen to be an open and welcoming gathering space.
One might also consider the edge profile of the countertop. A waterfall detail is sleek and futuristic, while an overhanging countertop is a classic finish to the structure. Conversely, traditional round-edge profiles such as bullnoses, ogee and beveled edges are family-friendly and can also add warmth to the room.

THE WORK TRIANGLE
When scaling and placing a kitchen island, this tested formula can help with kitchen flow.
The sink, stovetop and fridge typically get the most use in cooking, and they’re easiest to access when in a triangle orientation with clear lanes of movement. This creates the work triangle. To maximize efficiency, each leg of the triangle should be 4-9 ft. The sum of the three sides should be less than 26 ft.
This orientation reduces travel time between appliances and limits the risk of clashing with any co-chefs or cabinetry.

Artificial Glass
Pros, cons and creative uses of artificial glass inside and out
By Elise Conrad
When most people think of glass in the home, they picture the clarity of a windowpane or the elegance of a glass table. But another material is quietly redefining modern living: acrylic glass, often known by the brand name Plexiglass. For homeowners and builders with an eye for innovation and elegance, acrylic is a material worth a second look.
The case for artificial
Acrylic, or polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), is a transparent thermoplastic known for its strength, versatility and clarity. It’s up to 17 times more impact-resistant than
traditional glass, yet half the weight. That makes it not just a practical solution, but a stylish one, too.
Compared to traditional glass, which can be brittle and heavy, acrylic is far more forgiving. It is resistant to UV damage, less prone to breakage and available in various finishes, from crystal-clear to frosted or tinted. It offers peace of mind for homes with children or pets without sacrificing design.
Design meets durability
Acrylic can be cut and shaped to nearly any specification, making it ideal for custom design work. This
begs the question: Where in the house is acrylic a better alternative to standard glass?
Kitchen
Classic glass door cabinets add elegance to any kitchen. Not only is acrylic a stylish and shatterproof alternative, it is also more transparent than glass, which means cabinets provide a clearer view of what’s inside.
A backsplash can add color and personality to any kitchen, and acrylic makes it easy to create a unique design in any shape or size.
Living room
Because it is lightweight, durable and easy-to-handle, acrylic can be used for coffee tables, floating shelves and display units. It blends seamlessly into a space, especially for those who appreciate minimalist or contemporary aesthetics. The transparency helps maintain a light, airy feeling in a room, ideal for smaller spaces or rooms that need a touch of modern luxury.
Bathroom
Frosted or smoked acrylic makes for an elegant alternative to standard glass in shower walls and dividers. It’s easier to maintain and less prone to cracking, and can be custom-cut for curved or unique shapes – a plus for homeowners designing bespoke bathrooms.

Windows
Highly UV-resistant and allowing more than 90 percent of light to pass through, acrylic is perfect for bringing natural light into a home through skylights, sun tunnels and standard windows. For homes aiming to reduce energy usage while increasing sunlight exposure and durability, this material is a smart upgrade. It even adds another level of safety in areas prone to extreme weather such as high winds, hail or tornadoes.
When to forego acrylic
For a glass alternative in areas prone to high impact such as windows, polycarbonate – which is 250 times stronger than standard glass, yet weighs only half as much –is a much safer choice than PMMA. If scratches are a concern, traditional glass is the better choice, as it is lower-maintenance and much less prone to scratching.
A clear investment in design
From backlit panels in a home bar to layered wall art, or even creative home signage, the only real limit is your imagination.
For homeowners seeking to invest in long-term design, acrylic blends practicality, safety and aesthetic beauty without the compromises that come with traditional glass.
