The Ultimate Guide to lacquered glass for modern interiors

Recent design studies show that demand for lacquered glass in interior applications has increased by over 40% in the last five years, making it one of the fastest-growing decorative materials globally. For modern homes in India, it has become synonymous with elegance, functionality, and longevity. This guide takes you deep into the world of lacquered glass—its design potential, pricing, finishes, and why it’s a perfect complement to Lussario’s stainless steel kitchens and interiors.

What is lacquered glass?

Lacquered glass, sometimes referred to as glass lacquer, is a coloured glass created by coating one side of a glass sheet with a durable lacquer. Once baked, the coating fuses permanently, resulting in an opaque, glossy, or matte finish that transforms the humble glass into a designer surface. Its refined appearance makes it ideal for both residential and commercial spaces, offering a polished alternative to traditional laminates or paints.

How lacquered glass is made

The process involves selecting high-quality glass, applying a specialised lacquer, and curing it under controlled conditions. This ensures lasting adhesion and a smooth surface that resists fading, scratches, and stains. Depending on the intended finish—whether a bold gloss, soft matte, or metallic shimmer—the type of lacquer and curing duration vary.

Why lacquered glass is perfect for modern homes

Lacquered glass design is not just about appearance—it’s about marrying sophistication with functionality. Homeowners appreciate its sleek look, designers value its versatility, and fabricators admire its durability. Here’s why it stands out:

• Elegant aesthetics: A luxurious surface with uniform colour that complements steel, stone, or glass effortlessly.

• Hygienic and easy to maintain: Its non-porous surface resists moisture and stains, making it perfect for kitchens and bathrooms.

• Durability: The fused lacquer layer provides scratch resistance and longevity unmatched by conventional paints.

• Design versatility: Available in endless colours and finishes, from bold reds to subtle neutrals.

• Reflective charm: Especially in high-gloss finishes, it amplifies light and creates an illusion of space—ideal for compact homes.

How Lussario integrates lacquered glass into interiors

Lussario designs and manufactures premium stainless steel kitchens and modular interiors across India, focusing exclusively on wood-free construction. Each design showcases the harmony of metal and glass, where lacquered glass plays a starring role in aesthetic enhancement. Whether it’s a lacquered glass kitchen cabinet or wardrobe shutter, the precision fit and finish reflect Lussario’s craftsmanship and engineering excellence.

Applications across home interiors

• Kitchens: Lussario often uses lacquered glass kitchen fronts for base and wall cabinets, paired with stone laminates from Stonelam for countertops. The combination of reflective glass and matte steel offers both contrast and cohesion.

• Wardrobes: While wardrobes are made from GI steel instead of stainless steel, they can feature lacquered glass wardrobe fronts for a sophisticated, mirror-like appeal.

• Living rooms: Decorative wall panels and partitions use lacquered glass to add depth and colour, making living areas look sleek and refined.

• Bathrooms and vanities: Due to its moisture resistance, lacquered glass is an excellent material for vanity shutters and side panels.

Understanding lacquered glass price and value

The lacquered glass price depends on multiple factors such as glass thickness, colour, finish type, and installation complexity. While it commands a premium over basic laminates or paints, its longevity and minimal upkeep offset the higher initial investment. For homeowners investing in luxury steel kitchens, it offers unmatched return in terms of aesthetics and performance.

At Lussario, clients can select between cost-effective PU coated galvanized steel with lacquered glass finish or full 304-grade stainless steel for a more opulent outcome. Both provide high resistance to moisture and time-tested durability across varied Indian climates.

Exploring finishes and textures

Lacquered glass finish options range from ultra-glossy to satin-matte. Metallic tones add glamour, while soft neutrals create understated sophistication. Custom tones are available too, ensuring every project feels personalized.

Finish	Look	Best suited for
Glossy	High reflectivity and brilliance	Modern kitchens and accent walls
Matte	Subtle and smooth, anti-glare	Bedrooms, wardrobes
Metallic	Shimmering elegance	Luxury kitchens and feature walls

For a tactile appeal, lacquered glass texture can be adjusted with underlays or etched patterns. Lussario’s in-house machinery ensures these finishes align perfectly with the steel substrate for a seamless outcome.

Lacquer glass paint and colour customisation

The colour possibilities of lacquer glass paint are virtually limitless. Whether you desire deep charcoal tones, vivid reds, or minimalist whites, every hue can be achieved consistently. The painted surface lies behind the glass, ensuring the colour never peels or fades. For a kitchen that doubles as a statement piece, Lussario recommends integrating metallic paints that reflect both natural and artificial light elegantly.

Lacquered glass vs acrylic: which is better?

When comparing lacquered glass vs acrylic, the distinction lies in longevity and finish quality. Acrylic offers affordability and easy fabrication, but it tends to scratch and lose shine over time. Lacquered glass, on the other hand, is more resilient, offering depth and brilliance that endure for years. For high-end interiors, lacquered glass remains the material of choice.

Design trends redefining modern interiors

In today’s homes, the demand for minimalist, reflective, and maintenance-friendly surfaces is reshaping interior choices. Designers increasingly pair lacquered glass with metal, stone, or textured steel to create contrasts that feel international in style yet suited to Indian sensibilities. Soft pastel shades and deep jewel tones dominate modern kitchens, while neutrals reign supreme in wardrobes and vanities. As urban spaces shrink, the reflective nature of lacquered glass enhances perceived space, adding both light and luxury.

Practical tips for using lacquered glass effectively

1. Plan the colour scheme early to harmonise with your steel base and lighting.

2. Select finishes based on usage—glossy for visual expansion, matte for subtle warmth.

3. Ensure proper lighting placement to highlight reflective qualities.

4. In kitchens, complement lacquered glass panels with easy-to-clean stone laminates.

5. Use accent panels of lacquered glass design strategically in high-visibility zones.

Maintenance and care

Maintaining lacquered glass is effortless. Regular wiping with a soft cloth and mild cleaner keeps it spotless. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals to preserve the sheen. Lussario’s steel framework protects edges from moisture seepage, extending the lifespan of the glass surface even in humid regions.

When lacquered glass may not suit

Although versatile, lacquered glass may not be ideal in heavy-impact areas or extremely low-budget projects. In such cases, Lussario advises mixing materials—using lacquered glass for feature surfaces while employing PU-coated steel for hidden modules. This balance keeps the project stylish yet practical.

Design inspiration: combining lacquered glass and stainless steel

Imagine a kitchen where cool stainless steel blends with a teal lacquered glass backsplash, or a wardrobe reflecting soft light through muted beige glass shutters. These combinations deliver visual serenity and functional excellence. Lussario’s designers excel in creating such harmonies, ensuring that every project—whether in South or North India—retains elegance and precision.

Common misconceptions about lacquered glass

• “It’s fragile.” Modern toughened glass ensures structural integrity and safety.

• “It scratches easily.” The cured lacquer layer adds a durable protective film.

• “Limited colour options.” Custom hues and metallic effects are easily achievable.

• “Too glossy for homes.” Matte and satin finishes offer subdued sophistication.

The science of longevity

The fusion of steel and glass is one of the most enduring combinations in interior design. Both materials resist moisture, heat, and daily wear. Lussario capitalises on this synergy—its modular designs remain stable for decades, with lacquered glass panels retaining their colour and shine throughout.
