Glass brings an air of sophistication to the pooja room while keeping it easy to maintain. A great example of fusing modernity and traditionalism in temple design is to opt for coloured lacquered glass panels for your mandir door. SGG Colormaxx, Saint-Gobain’s vibrant range of lacquered glass shades adds a pop of colour and vibrancy to your pooja room door.
If you wish to add a point of focus and visual allure to your pooja space, the trendsetting lacquered glass might be your ideal choice. SGG Colormaxx range of lacquered glass with a thick and uniform layer of lacquer colour coating on one side offers a uniform and opaque appearance to the pooja backdrop. This provides a lustre appeal, creating a bold statement for the interiors while being easy to clean and maintain.
Want to craft a pooja room but lack a designated space for it? Bring your pooja mandir into the living area with an open-concept design. This approach avoids any physical barriers while still clearly designating the space for prayer. A bold-coloured glass or mirror or glass framed art for a Puja backdrop and/or a striking bright lacquered glass Puja console are ideal choices to bring this vision to life.
Add an edgy twist with metal (brass) and glass partition design to lend a striking heritage/vintage appeal to your pooja space. Brass, with its warm golden hue, is a staple of luxury and tradition. Combined with the transparency of glass, it creates a welcoming and eye-catching look. A simple brass gold-coloured frame with elaborately etched patterns on glass or a more elaborate frame with simple clear or frosted glass can emanate a surreal aura while keeping the divine space secluded and distinguished.
