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.
Using Stained Glass In the Kitchen: Kitchen stained glass options include inserting panels into your kitchen cabinet doors. This adds a little touch of beauty to standard cabinets, but you can make it more glamorous by lighting the interior of the cabinet. Use custom panels of stained glass artwork in front of a kitchen window, or add smaller stained glass corners to the window. Large panels also make great 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 the Bathroom: Does the bathroom seem like an odd place to use stained glass for decorating? It shouldn't - this versatile and beautiful material makes great cabinet doors, mirror surrounds and bathroom windows. Use colored and textured glass pieces to allow light in without letting the outside world to see through your window.
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.
Entryway Stained Glass: To give visitors a great first impression, consider using stained glass in your front door or in entryway sidelights. Stained glass also works well in panels over the door, or even as a doorbell cover.
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. - 15252
