Several years back, I lived in a Craftsman-style home. The home was built in 1902 on a wonderful street in Pasadena, California. I made several upgrades to the home, trying to preserve its integrity while at exactly the same time making it convenient for life together with my little children. Additions I made to the home comprised two beautiful stained glass windows from the family area. I had the chimney commissioned from the late Roy Little, a renowned stained glass artist in the San Francisco Bay Area.
We had good fun during the conceptual process. I asked him to make two ginko trees that felt architectural as well as suitable for the style of the home. He didn’t disappoint with the two windows. They were my favorite things in the entire home. We moved a few years later because together with the arrival of my third child, we simply grew from the home. I considered carrying those windows because I loved them so much better. At the conclusion they remained because I decided they didn’t belong to me ; they jumped to the home.
Stained glass is such an intriguing art form. How the colored glass captures the lighting can be very magical. Additionally, there are endless applications of stained glass in a home. Let us have a look at just how designers are employing this art form in their designs.

A perfect complement to this wine-tasting room, these stained glass windows look like the base of wine bottles in a variety of shades of green opaque glass.

Why not add a little whimsy above a doorway? Note how the beach colours here bounce right from the crisp white of the walls. What a great way to establish a tone and palette for a home.

The stained glass window in this stately room offers beautiful filtered light and solitude for the window seat. A fantastic alternative for privacy requirements, stained glass is beautiful and functional. Notice how the signature of green from the window is replicated in the fabrics.

This is a intelligent detail for this particular grandly scaled dining area. The accession of a clear and opaque stained glass transom affirms the palette and also the size of this room. Stained glass that includes pattern and not color can be great for a neutral area that already boasts great architectural information.

A hallmark of this Craftsman design, a grand entrance door is made even more stunning with the addition of a collection of stained glass scenes. This is a perfect and authentic application of stained glass for the Craftsman design.

Stained glass can also be integrated into light. As sunlight lights up the colours of a stained glass window, a backlit stained glass lighting fixture lights up this entrance.

A really application of glass. I might try to squeeze in an extra shower every day with this fantastic bathroom. Notice the stained glass inside the shower as well as about the entrance doors to the shower. This is a superb concept that will work for a oversized shower, especially fitting for Spanish or Victorian style.
