The aesthetic of translucent layers, frosted glass, and ethereal depth
Glassmorphism uses background blur to create the illusion of frosted glass. Light passes through but details become soft, creating visual hierarchy without harsh boundaries.
Elements float above colorful backgrounds. The partial transparency reveals underlying gradients, creating depth and dimensionality in flat design.
Subtle borders with low opacity define edges without creating harsh lines. Often lighter on top and left to simulate lighting from above.
Soft, diffused shadows enhance the floating effect. Unlike neumorphism, glassmorphism shadows are subtle and don't compete with the blur effect.
Vibrant gradient backgrounds are essential. The glass effect needs rich colors to blur into beauty. Monochrome backgrounds diminish the effect.
Multiple glass layers at different blur levels create visual depth. More blur = further back. Less blur = closer to the user.
