Stained glass is one of those design features that adds character, colour, privacy, and beauty to a home and I’m not sure why it ever went out of style.
Stained glass can be a great alternative to room-darkening curtains or blinds, especially if you have a window that faces:
- another building
- the street
- a neighbour’s house
- or just a bad view
It lets in natural light while adding privacy, and the changing colours and light throughout the day can make a room feel so much more alive. 🌈☀️
It’s also a beautiful way to bring more personality into a home, and it doesn’t have to feel old-fashioned. Stained glass can be designed to suit traditional, cozy, vintage, eclectic, or even more modern spaces.
There’s a sustainability side to it also — vintage stained glass panels can often be found in antique shops or salvage yards, and can even be upcycled into cabinet fronts that add character while reducing waste.
You can also connect with a local artisan to create a custom piece to fit your style and colour palette. It can be built in or simply hung over an existing window.
Stained glass is more than a nostalgic detail. It is a colourful, mood-boosting design feature that can bring personality and originality to your home and it definitely needs to make a comeback.💚
Where would you use stained glass in your home — a front window, bathroom, kitchen, or somewhere else?
