Decorating With Stained Glass Decor


Stained glass art pieces continue to be a popular and classic for home decorating. We love the beauty of stained glass colors and it’s versatility of use. Here are some ideas, stained glass supplies and tips on displaying stained glass art that you might not have thought about.

* Hang stained glass panels or stained glass sun catchers from a window. In the day time, the sun shining through coloured glass casts a beautiful glow in a room. You can see this easily in churches as the stained glass window panels blanket the church hall with a wonderful moody light. You can create a similar feel at home on a smaller scale of course, with sun catchers hanging from a window.

* For a beautiful view from outside your home consider that at night you’ll also benefit from beautiful colors sparkling from your stained glass hangings. When your home is lit up from inside and a stained glass item is viewed from outside, the colors will look vivid, glistening and eye catching.

* Instead of using curtains or ugly, boring window blinds that seem to collect lots of dust, use a larger stained glass panel, decorative window film or hanging for privacy and window decorating.

* If you live with an ugly window view, and I guess to say most people have at least one window eye sore, block the view or camouflage it with a stained glass art piece. I have a dining window that faces my neighbour’s garage wall, not exactly what I want to gaze at while eating dinner. To make my window view more appealing I am on a hunt for a stained glass window hanging that measures the approximate size of the window pane glass.

* Add privacy to a room or use stained glass panels as a room divider. Again we can use stained glass for its functionality and aesthetics. The benefit of using stained glass as a room divider is that it allows for privacy but won’t block all the natural light that we usually want in our rooms.

* If you can afford this option it can really create a room with “wow factor”. Have custom stained glass panels created and used as inserts for kitchen cabinet panels. Depending on your preference you can choose to be able to see inside the cabinet or not depending on the opacity of the glass. No more boring white kitchen.

* If you can’t hang a stained glass art piece for whatever reason (like apartment renters who are sometimes limited from nailing or screwing into walls) you can still enjoy the beauty of stained glass casting wonderful colourful washes of color on a room. A larger stained glass piece can be set to lean on a window shelf or consider buying a stained glass figurine or urn that can sit on your window shelf. If it’s placed in a good spot you can still enjoy the sun rays shining through the stained glass art decoration.

I hope these ideas will inspire you to use stained glass in your home. The stained glass art form have stood the test of time, and while some other home trends come and go, stained glass is here to stay. From old stained glass medieval windows to contemporary stained glass designs, enjoy its classic beauty and share it with others.

Popular stained glass designs continue to be stained glass with magnolia blossoms, stained glass sunflowers, tiffany stained glass floor lamps for home lighting and suncatchers of course.

If you’re looking to get started in this wonderful craft consider the affordable beginners kits in stain glass.

The world will never have enough original stained glass designs.

We can all use some helpful decorating tips for selling your new house. Whether its yours or your clients home, there are some simple things you can do to spruce the place up a bit.

No matter what we do we can never please everybody, but we can at least try to update things and make the place more inevitable. Small rooms can be opened up a bit with windows and lighter paint and some splashes of color. Possibly the right furniture can help a room look bigger that it is, even rearranging furniture can help. Remember to keep the colors bright in small rooms; it gives a room a feeling of openness.

If you like an array of colors thats great, use them for accents, as throw pillows, rugs, art work, or drapery. Also, try not to use too many patterns, even if you are a big fan of them; try not to use too contrasting patters. You can use them, just not so much as to make the eyes race around too much. Simple is the idea with patterns. There are thousands of creative ways to help spruce up your spaces. Take some time to do a little research into decorating and organizing when selling your home or when getting ready for a listing.
