Stepping into 2026: Glass Trends, Innovation, and Expanded Service
Happy New Year, Southeast Michigan!
As we step into 2026, the year ahead promises exciting growth, fresh inspiration, and a continued commitment to serving homeowners, designers, and contractors across Southeast Michigan. With more than 65 years of trusted craftsmanship behind us, our team is looking forward to building on recent momentum — from emerging design trends to the continued expansion of our Novi showroom and surrounding service areas.
Glass Design Trends Carrying Into 2026
Looking back at 2025, we saw several standout glass and hardware trends take center stage — and we expect many of them to continue evolving in 2026.
Warm metallic finishes were everywhere in 2025, especially in showers. Gold and bronze hardware brought warmth, contrast, and a high-end feel to bathrooms, and this trend shows no signs of slowing down. In 2026, we anticipate even more homeowners pairing these finishes with clean glass lines for a timeless yet modern look.
Fluted (or reeded) glass also surged in popularity last year, particularly in cabinet doors, accent walls, and room dividers. This textured glass offers privacy while still allowing light to flow — making it both functional and stylish.
Another bold statement trend we expect to see more of in 2026 is black gridded glass in shower enclosures. This industrial-inspired look continues to appeal to homeowners seeking strong visual structure and contrast, especially in modern and transitional bathrooms.
Together, these trends highlight a growing desire for custom details, texture, and finishes that elevate everyday spaces.
Showcasing Trends at the Novi and Dexter Showrooms
Our new Novi showroom is the most convenient destination for homeowners and professionals in Novi, Wixom, and Farmington looking to explore the latest in custom glass design. In 2026, we’re excited to continue promoting and expanding this immersive experience alongside our original Dexter showroom.
Both showrooms allow customers to:
- See full-scale displays of shower enclosures, mirrors, glass railings, countertops, and decorative glass
- Compare hardware finishes and glass styles in person
- Get expert guidance on both design and functionality
- Explore custom, Michigan-made craftsmanship
As new trends emerge and evolve, our showrooms serve as creative spaces where quality and innovation come together — helping customers confidently envision what’s possible for their homes or commercial projects.
Expanding Service in Novi and Surrounding Communities
As we continue to grow, so does our dedication to serving more homeowners and businesses in and around Novi. In 2026, we look forward to deepening our presence throughout Northville, Wixom, Farmington Hills, South Lyon, Walled Lake, and beyond.
Customers in these areas can expect:
