Modern Stained Glass Gives a Unique Look with Ancient Art
What does the phrase ‘stained glass window’ mean to you? Most conjure up images of densely packed colors in a medieval castle window, a grandmother’s fragile Tiffany lamp illuminating scenes of flowers and butterflies, or a large religious piece that visually relates to a biblical story.
Those are perfectly natural associations to make, but none of them give hint to the leaps and bounds we’ve made in modern stained glass window design. There is an endless potential to showcasing this beautiful craft in your very own home.
While not at first obvious, modern home design provides ample opportunities to install stained or clear leaded glass. Most homeowners are aware of the added privacy by having textured leaded glass pieces included in a front door cutout or long adjoining sidelight, but how many have considered the indulgent pleasures gained from removing the shades or blinds from the master bath garden window and finally having a beautiful art piece that adds natural diffused daylight to a bathroom while still providing seclusion.
In so many developed neighborhoods today, a potential homeowner must choose a prepared floor plan with limited customization options. What better way to distinguish your home from its identical doppelgangers than to install a unique artisan stained glass window piece that can be enjoyed while living inside your house walls and perhaps even be the envy of the neighbors noticing the change from outside.
The influence of stained glass windows are not only limited to entryways and baths. Look around and your artistic eye will lead you to all sorts of suitable locations. Perhaps a staircase could have a grander presence, some family room clerestory openings require some afternoon sun glare reduction, or kitchen cabinet doors that need a touch of elegance. Stained Glass San Antonio has performed modern installations in every residential room type and only need your unique vision to carry out the job.
Then there is the concern for styles. Worries that the medieval look won’t match a sophisticated Italian villa style or even a streamlined Modern bath may come up. At Stained Glass San Antonio each of the windows that we have installed in over 25 years of business are unique to each specific home and tastes of the homeowners. Even if our hundreds of gallery pictures do not inspire wandering daydreams of rainbow tinted beams of dappled sunlight streaming from our bevel clusters, during our free home consultations our designers can draw up a stained glass window entirely dictated by your ideas. The only limitation is the expanse of your own imagination.
Once that spark of imagination is ignited, call or send us a message at Stained Glass San Antonio to have a free home consultation scheduled with one of our many talented designers who can begin the process of turning your dreams into a daily reality within your own home.
