Decorating your home with stained glass is an easy way to give it a touch of elegance without overhauling your existing decor. It's possible to use stained glass in almost and room in the house, from the living room and dining room to the bedroom, kitchen, entryway, office, and even in the bathroom.
Stained Glass In The Kitchen: You can insert stained glass into kitchen cabinet doors to spice up your ordinary cabinets. For an added effect, install an electric light inside the cabinet to make the glass glow. Custom stained glass panels in front of kitchen windows or smaller stained glass window corners are also a way to add stained glass to your kitchen. You can also use a panel as kitchen wall art.
Stained Glass In The Living Room: Full or partial window panels work well in the living room, as do pieces with mirrors. Think about using a stained glass fireplace screen with clear beveled components that act as prisms when firelight shines through them. Other great options include chandeliers, lampshades, and stained glass candle holders. The only rule is: don't overwhelm the room.
Dining Rooms and Stained Glass: Have a large table to decorate? Consider using a large sculptural piece as a table centerpiece to attract attention. If you feel like your dining room looks small or cramped, glass wall pieces with large mirrors can make it seem a lot larger.
In The Bedroom: Bedrooms can be decorated using stained glass items like jewelry boxes, candle holders, terrariums and more. Use mirrors to make the room look bigger, but don't over do it. Stained glass window ornaments and wall pieces can look great here, too.
Stained Glass In Bathrooms: While it might seem strange to use stained glass in the bathroom, this material works well. It makes great cabinet doors, mirror surrounds, and bathroom windows. That's because textured and colored glass let light in, but not prying eyes.
Office Stained Glass: Incorporate stained glass drawer and cabinet fronts in the office, or use small accents and window panels to produce a more subtle effect.
Stained Glass Entryways: Stained glass gives you the opportunity to make a great first impression. Use it in your front door, or in the sidelights in your entryway. Panels over the door and other accents are also a great choice.
Stained glass adds a beautiful personal touch to any home, and can work with most decorating schemes. There are lots of sizes, colors and themes available. To find out more, talk to your local stained glass artist or retailer today.
