Glass Wall Art

Glass prints: quality, sizes and how to choose the right one for your space

Glass prints are the first choice when you want glossy surfaces, vivid colours and crystal-clear detail. If you’re looking to buy glass prints, you’ll benefit from UV direct printing on the back of the glass, polished edges and concealed spacers. The result is a calm, high-end surface with intense colour depth – ideal for modern living areas, kitchens and bathrooms, and for XXL glass prints as a stylish wall art centrepiece on your gallery wall.

How glass prints are made – and how they achieve their brilliance

Toughened safety glass (ESG) with polished edges – robust, easy to care for, dimensionally stable.
UV direct printing onto the reverse side – rich, lightfast colours with elegant depth and a subtle 3D effect.
Spacers/rail system – concealed mounting for a floating look.

Sizes & use cases

From compact sizes for niches to 125×50 cm pieces and large-format panorama solutions: glass excels wherever you want clean lines, strong reflections and brilliant contrasts – for example in a modern living room, the bathroom or as contemporary art in the kitchen.

Choose portrait for narrow walls or landscape as an elegant panorama above the sofa – every piece gives your room a fresh staging.

Popular glass prints and current interior trends

Glass prints pick up key interior themes, combining rich colour depth with modern elegance. Especially in demand: nature motifs – from fine leaf textures, flowers and soft beach scenes to meadows and water surfaces, and calming forest landscapes that bring natural balance – as well as urban city & travel subjects with skylines and architecture that add depth and character.

For stylish kitchens, opt for glass prints with crisp graphics, typography or gourmet motifs from the kitchen theme; in relaxation areas, gentle colours and harmonious shapes inspired by wellness create a soothing atmosphere. If you prefer artistic accents, choose modern compositions and classics from fine art prints; brand-typical designs are grouped under brands. For personalised theme worlds, take a look at miscellaneous.

Bold statements work beautifully with round motifs from round or rhythmic arrangements from multi-panel. Long horizontal lines above sofas and sideboards are supported by panorama. Personal memories can also be preserved as your photo as a glass print in gallery quality – brilliant, durable and unique.

Glass prints with your own photo

A glass print with your own photo is more than a print – it’s a memory that glows in the light. Whether it’s a sunset from your last trip, a family moment or your favourite motif: the glossy glass surface makes colours more intense, contrasts crisper and every detail vibrant.

Simply upload your photo, choose the right size (e.g. 80×60 cm, 125×50 cm or XXL) and preview how your picture becomes a true one-of-a-kind. Or create your glass print yourself – individual, creative and unique. Reverse-side UV printing adds depth and luminosity, while the concealed mounting makes the motif appear to float – a glass print that perfectly blends emotion and design.
