Stained Glass To Fit The Style Of Your Houston Home
Stained glass is one of those household elements that really fit great on any style home. And At Houston Stained Glass, we have yet to see a house that doesn’t look better with stained glass and we have a sneaking suspicion, such a house does not exist! There is a very good reason for that too–stained glass can match any style of home because it comes in so many different styles itself. Add to that the fact that it can be custom made to order and you have one of the most amazing home decor element for any home in Houston and likely around the world. It doesn’t matter if you are modern and hip or reserved and elegant–stained glass will work just as well either way because the styles of stained glass range from old school to new school, bold or low key and we can help you find just the right stained glass work of art for your Houston home.
Stained Glass Style Guide For Houston Homes
Stained glass is so widely used on homes in the Houston area and all around our great state of Texas because it comes in so many different, yet beautiful themes, styles, colors, and textures. We laid out a few different styles for you and a couple of ideas that we see most often on homes in the Houston area.
Patterned: Patterned stained glass includes repeating shapes, sizes, and colors. This often symmetrical style allows for lower production costs while offering detailed and eye-catching designs.
Tiffany Style: Opalescent glass, with its “milky” or “streaked” appearance, is a hallmark of Tiffany-style stained glass. This style also incorporates numerous layers and thicknesses of glass within each composition
Contemporary: Contemporary stained glass features minimalist patterns and in some cases geometric, repeating lines. Designers like Greene and Greene or Frank Lloyd Wright fit into this category. This style often incorporates dramatic leaded lines as part of the design.
Traditional: Stained glass in the traditional style includes realistically painted figures, flowers or foliage or other elegant motifs and usually an intricate lead matrix.
All of these beautiful styles are stained glass windows that we at Houston Stained Glass can expertly craft and put in your Houston home too! Or, we can find a different style for you all together! Contact us for a free consultation for a one-of-a-kind work of glass art for your home today!
