Glass walkways can quickly transform the look and feel of your home. As a material, glass is great for defining spaces and providing protection from the elements without making you feel cramped or closed in. Because glass visually expands interior volumes, it’s ideal for smaller footprints. And since glass welcomes a profusion of natural light indoors, it helps induce positive feelings and moods.

Large walkways, such as that above, can easily be transformed into casual entertaining zones.
If you experience colder winters, bring the outdoor furniture indoors to enjoy both the view and the added warmth.
