Decorating With Stained Glass

Decorating your home with stained glass is easy and gives you a touch of elegance without the chaos of a full overhaul. Stained glass can be used in almost any room in the house, including the living room, dining room, entryway, kitchen, bedroom and office. Stained glass is even a nice touch 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.

Living Room Stained Glass: In the living room, you can use full or partial window panels, pieces with mirrors in them, or stained glass fireplace screens with clear bevels. That allows you to see the fire through the glass prisms. Stained glass candleholders, chandeliers, or lampshades are another fantastic choice in the living room. Just make sure they don’t overwhelm the room.

Stained Glass Dining Rooms: If you have a large dining room table, think about using large centerpieces made from stained glass to act as a focal point. On the other hand, a small or narrow feeling dining room can be helped by using wall pieces with large mirrors. That’ll increase the appearance of size.

Bedroom Stained Glass Decorating: Decorate your bedroom using stained glass objects like candle holders, terrariums, and jewelry boxes. Mirrors can be used to make this room look larger, too. However, beware of overdoing it – you don’t want your room to look enormous! Use wall pieces and stained glass window ornaments to tie it all together.

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.
