The Best Cabinet Glass Options for Every Design Style

When you're updating your kitchen, bathroom, or even built-in storage areas, cabinet glass can completely transform the space. It’s not just about making things look stylish—glass inserts can open up a room, add texture, and give cabinets a lighter, more customized appearance. At Brick Glass, we offer a range of cabinet glass types to suit every style, from ultra-modern to vintage-inspired.

Here’s a closer look at five of our most popular options: Reeded, Flemish, Seeded, Frosted, and Clear glass. Whether you're a homeowner designing your dream kitchen or a contractor helping a client upgrade their space, these glass types offer versatile and stunning solutions.

1. Reeded Glass: Vertical Lines with a Modern Edge

Reeded glass features narrow vertical lines that run the length of the panel, giving it a sophisticated, structured appearance. It’s an excellent choice if you're looking for something a little different than traditional clear or frosted glass.

This style blends privacy and design effortlessly. The texture subtly obscures the contents inside the cabinets, which is perfect if you don’t want everything on full display but still want a more open feel than solid cabinet doors. Reeded glass works well in both modern and mid-century-inspired interiors and pairs beautifully with wood, matte black, or brushed brass hardware.

Why we love it: It adds a touch of elegance and texture, softening the look of cabinetry without making it feel closed off.

2. Flemish Glass: Old-World Charm with Subtle Texture

If you’re leaning toward a more traditional, rustic, or vintage aesthetic, Flemish glass is a beautiful option. It has a slightly wavy surface that mimics the look of hand-poured glass found in older homes and antique cabinetry. The result is a soft distortion that feels both classic and artisanal.

Flemish glass is perfect for spaces where you want to evoke warmth, charm, and history. It slightly blurs the contents of your cabinets while allowing light to pass through, creating a glowing effect—especially when paired with interior cabinet lighting.

Best used in: Farmhouse kitchens, cottage-style homes, or traditional interiors that embrace texture and timeworn beauty.

3. Seeded Glass: Timeless with a Hint of Personality

Seeded glass is known for its scattered air bubbles throughout the panel, giving it a handcrafted, vintage-inspired look. These tiny “seeds” catch the light and add subtle texture, making each panel unique.

This style strikes a balance between visibility and obscurity. You can still see the contents behind the glass, but the seeded texture gives a softened, romantic effect. It works especially well in transitional spaces where you want a mix of old and new.

Seeded glass is a great choice if you want a little more personality and movement in your cabinets without going too bold. It complements wood, painted, or distressed finishes beautifully.

Why customers love it: It feels special and artistic, perfect for adding character to kitchens, dining room built-ins, or even bathroom vanities.

4. Frosted Glass: Sleek, Subtle, and Versatile

For those who love a clean, contemporary aesthetic, frosted glass is a perfect match. The surface has been sandblasted or acid-etched to create a smooth, matte finish that gently diffuses light while completely obscuring what's inside the cabinet.

This option is ideal for homeowners who prefer a clutter-free look or simply want to hide their everyday items from view without sacrificing the open, airy feeling that glass offers. Frosted glass works wonderfully in modern kitchens, minimalist bathrooms, and even office cabinetry.

If you're installing under-cabinet or internal lighting, frosted glass will glow softly, adding to the sleek and elegant vibe of the space.

Pro tip: Frosted glass pairs especially well with flat-panel doors and contemporary cabinet hardware for a seamless, modern look.

5. Clear Glass: Classic and Clean

Clear glass is timeless for a reason, it’s versatile, simple, and makes your cabinetry feel more open and inviting. If you’ve got a beautiful dish collection, decorative glassware, or simply want to create a display space, clear glass is the way to go.

Because there’s no texture or opacity, everything inside the cabinet is on full display, which means it’s best for spaces where you can keep items neatly arranged. Clear glass looks great in any style of home, from traditional to ultra-modern, depending on how it’s framed and styled.

Use it in upper cabinets to showcase your best pieces, or even in combination with lighting to create a statement feature.

Why it's a staple: It works with every design style and maximizes light and space.

No matter what your design goals are, there’s a cabinet glass type to match. At Brick Glass, we’re happy to help you choose the right option to bring your vision to life—whether that’s a subtle touch of texture or a bold vintage statement.
