Welcome to our gallery featuring 40 rooms with stained glass windows.
We believe that the windows in a home are one of the most transparently important elements.
A small space can be expanded visually with large windows. The natural light provided by windows can make wondrous improvements to almost any room.
We have created this gallery as a tribute to a very unique, and very beautiful style of window: stained glass. The functional purposes are a little different with stained glass, but there are benefits all the same.
Stained glass is most commonly thought to belong in historic buildings, such as churches, and libraries. But this beautiful artwork can really be incorporated into any home.
Stained glass may not give you a great view of the surrounding landscape, or fill the room with natural light like a regular window would allow. But it provides a spectacular light show, reflecting different colors from the glass.
Many times in a home setting, stained glass provides an elegant accent to the room. As you will notice, stained glass traditionally has a fanciful design with intricate patterns.
Colorful panes of glass are pieced together to form a singular window. This creates somewhat of a lighting effect for the room, but also helps to shield the direct sunlight from shining though.
Stained glass does not have to cover a whole window either, you will notice that in many of these spaces, small sections of stained glass windows are the perfect subtle accents for the room.
Take a look through the rest of these images, and enjoy the gallery! You never know when that perfect design feature you have been looking for will arise and present itself.
