There’s something quietly satisfying about glassware that feels right at brunch, dinner, and everything in between. The right pieces don’t just hold drinks, they enhance the moment, letting light dance through colour and shape, and inviting people to linger at the table a little longer.
That’s why many designers and home enthusiasts love pieces with thoughtful forms and craftsmanship: they become natural companions to the rhythms of daily life, rather than relegated only to special occasions.
Look for Pieces That Feel Good in the Hand
Glassware should be as enjoyable to hold as it is to look at. Rounded tumblers and balloon glasses have a comfortable, relaxed feel that suits everything from morning juice to evening cocktails.
-
LSA International Arc Tumbler Set of 4 - Tumblers with gentle curves cast lovely reflections of light, and their simplicity means they pair easily with your existing dinnerware.
-
LSA Cocktail Glasses 300ml Mother of Pearl Finish Set of 2 - A set with a subtle finish brings a refined touch to drinks, making even casual gatherings feel a little more intentional.
These kinds of shapes adapt from everyday meals to evening drinks, so your glassware isn’t just for Sunday lunch but becomes part of your daily ritual.
Variety That Still Feels Cohesive
One of the joys of glassware is the way different shapes; like goblets, flutes, and carafes which can play together on a table without feeling mismatched.
-
LSA Aurora Champagne Tulip Glass Set of 4 - These tulip-shaped glasses are tall and elegant, perfect for bubbles but equally charming with sparkling water or iced tea.
-
LSA International Luca Carafe - A simple carafe bridges function and beauty: fill it with chilled water, lemonade, or a simple flower arrangement for an impromptu centrepiece.
When you mix shapes that share a similar material language, in this case, mouth-blown glass and soft silhouettes, the overall table still feels harmonious.
Colour and Texture for Subtle Character
Clear glass is timeless, but touches of colour and texture give personality without overwhelming the scene.
-
LSA International Oblate Clear Glass Vase - A sculptural vase doubles as décor and floral display, casting soft shadows when candles glow.
-
LSA International Mia Recycled Glass Bowl or LSA International Dapple Fruit Bowl - Bowls with tactile patterns add visual interest to a table spread, whether holding olives or fresh fruit.
LSA’s approach to glass often includes attention to texture and light, subtle details that play beautifully with natural daylight or candlelight alike.
Think Beyond Just Drinking Glasses
Great tablescapes include elements that aren’t strictly glassware but still contribute to the overall aesthetic.
-
LSA International Wicker Glass Storage Container with Lid - Small containers and vessels add layers and utility to buffets or side tables.
-
LSA Cloche Dome with Oak Base 19 x 25.5xm Clear - A cloche like this can elevate cheeses, pastries or preserved finds from the garden, turning everyday dining into something a bit more curated.
Glass pieces can frame or support your food and décor, tying together textures from wood and ceramics for a cohesive table top look.
Whether you’re pulling out glasses for a weekend brunch or laying the groundwork for an intimate dinner, choosing pieces with integrity of design and versatile character will make your table feel harmonised and inviting, without extra effort.
