Using stained glass to decorate your home is easy and gives your home a spectacular elegance. Stained glass artwork can be incorporated into any room in your home, including the kitchen, living room, dining room, bedrooms, bathrooms, offices, basements as well as the entryway.
Kitchen options include insertions of stained glass into cabinet doors for a very appealing improvement to an otherwise possible boring typical array of cabinetry. If considering this option, one would best be advised to realize that an electric light source inside that cabinet will greatly increase the effect. An additional kitchen option could be a custom sized stained glass window panel hung in front of the window, allowing the light behind it to vividly show the colors within. Sometimes an entire window panel may be too much. If that's the case, consider smaller sun catchers or simply stained glass window corners. Stained glass wall panels aren't limited to be hung in front of the window. They make beautiful wall art additions as well.
Improvements in the living room can include the addition of stained glass window panels, partial window panels covering only part of the window or the addition of stained glass pieces which include mirrors within. A common living room enhancement is the popular fireplace screen which is frequently made using clear bevels which allow the flickering of the fireplace flames behind the glass to be seen. Oftentimes endless colors appear through the prisms of glass. The addition of simple candle holders will create excitement as well.
Dining rooms offer the possibilities of chandeliers made from beveled pieces of glass or other more colorful creations. The center piece of this room is a perfect spot for a 3d stained glass table top piece. If you feel your dining room is a little too small, try hanging mirrors in the room to reflect more light thereby making the room seem larger.
Jewelry boxes are frequently found in the bedroom. These boxes can be sized accordingly to your needs. Why not add some ambiance to your room with custom designed candle holders. Stained glass creations ideal for bedrooms include terrariums and again the use of mirrors.
Bathrooms are fun rooms to work stained glass into. Common enhancements are custom made stained glass pieces used in lieu of open shelving or all wood drawers, etc. Of course, mirrors and mirrors including stained glass pieces will crate excitement too.
Some of the nicest looking offices I've seen had stained glass panels used as drawer fronts or cabinet fronts intertwined within the shelving. Colorful stained glass panels cover portions of the windows in a beautiful office as well. Smaller but still exciting accents are custom made stained glass calling card holders, "inbox" holders and pencil boxes.
The addition of stained glass in entryway sidelights or even the complete front door is guaranteed to create a unique look for your home and greet each and every person who walks through your door. Who could forget that experience? I have even seen houses that included custom made door bell covers in lieu of the typical plastic box.
Stained glass offers you the ability to personalize your home with unique decors, sizes, colors and themes that fit your style and taste. If you are interested in learning more about any of these or other stained glass ideas please visit my website.
