Trending Glass for Lighting Fixtures: Clear vs. Textured
When it comes to choosing the perfect lighting fixture for your space, the type of glass you select can make a significant impact on the overall aesthetic. While clear glass has long been a classic voice, the trend of textured glass for lighting fixtures is on the rise. Let’s explore the differences for when you consider ordering light fixtures from Cordero Lighting.
Clear Glass: Classic, Traditional, Timeless
Clear glass is a time-honored choice for lighting fixtures. Its transparency allows for a bright, unobstructed flow of light, making it ideal for traditional and minimalist settings. If you want a chandelier that exudes timeless elegance and illuminates your space with a crystal-clear glow, clear glass is the way to go.

Textured Glass: Adding Visual Interest
Texture has the ability to transform an ordinary lighting fixture into a statement piece. Textured glass brings a unique charm and visual interest to even the most basic fixture styles. Here are some textured glass options we offer:
- Ribbed Glass (Contoured Glass) – NEW!: This innovative design features elegant ridges that create captivating patterns of light and shadow, adding depth and character to your space.
- Seeded Glass (Textured Bubbles): Seeded glass is adorned with tiny air bubbles, creating a mesmerizing effect reminiscent of dewdrops on a windowpane. It adds a touch of whimsy and a subtle vintage vibe to your lighting.
- Dimpled Glass (Soft Curves): Dimpled glass boasts gentle curves that play with the light, casting enchanting, diffused patterns throughout the room. It’s perfect for creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
- Opal Glass (Diffuser of Light): Opal glass, with its milky, opaque appearance, acts as a fantastic light diffuser. It softens the glare from bulbs, creating a gentle, ambient illumination that’s perfect for cozy spaces.

Benefits of Textured Glass
One of the significant advantages of textured glass is its ability to diffuse light and reduce glare from bulbs. While clear glass directs light in all directions, textured glass, whether through ridges or bubbles, softens the direct bulb shine. This creates a more comfortable and inviting atmosphere. Ideal for spaces where you want to create a warm and welcoming ambiance.
