<br />Over the past few years, the lamp and lighting store industry has grown at a <a href="https://www.statista.com/outlook/17060000/109/lamps-lighting/united-states" rel="noreferrer" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: inherit; color: #298ee9; cursor: pointer; font-weight: inherit; transition: all 0.29s ease-in-out 0s;">1.1% rate</a> to be a 4.3 billion dollar industry. The crazy numbers give a clear representation of the many people using lamps in the houses today.</div>

<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
Furnishing or simply remodeling your house is an uphill task but I’m sure you must be excited. If you are looking forward to picking colors, shapes, and sizes but have no clue on where to start on floor lamps, then you have come to the right page.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
Keep reading below for ideas on how to decorate your place with floor and table lamps.</div>
<h2 style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;">
Complement Your Decor</h2>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
Note that I’m not saying that you must buy lamps of the same color as your interior design. But try and compliment the design. Is it eclectic, modern may be traditional?</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
For instance, if you have rustic wardrobes and tables, then try getting a crude looking table lamp. Modern looks are that will fit seamlessly at your place.</div>
<h2 style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;">
How Much Light?</h2>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
This is one question that you should not ignore when choosing floor or table lamps. If you intend to use the lamp for reading or to illuminate the entire room, then go for translucent shades.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
But if all you want is just a decorative piece then choose an opaque shade. The light variation will definitely give your place a dramatic look.</div>
<h2 style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;">
Sleek Shades</h2>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
Contemporary designs look more defined if you use simple and streamlined furnishes.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
Floor lamps with drum-shaped shades add character to the room. Place them in a corner or in pairs near entrances, paintings or windows. Preferably in the dining room or the <a href="https://www.lampsusa.com/blogs/how-to-and-tips/lamps-how-to-choose-floor-lamps-table-lamps-lamp-shades" rel="noreferrer" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: inherit; color: #298ee9; cursor: pointer; font-weight: inherit; text-decoration-line: none; transition: color 0.29s ease-in-out 0s;">living room</a>.</div>
<h2 style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;">
Size Matters</h2>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
In design, height ratios are significant. The last thing you want to do is place a table lamp that is too big for its location. Apart from this being a design no-no, your lamp is prone to breakages if it happens to be bigger than the table itself.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
In a similar manner, small lamps will look odd in a large room. Some might even end up being “invisible”. For easier judgment, ensure that the shade ranges from a half to three quarters the size of the base. And that it covers the inner hardware of the lamp.</div>
<h2 style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;">
Classic Look</h2>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
If you choose a traditional design, then pick a shade that has a tapered shape as they tend to blend well with the design.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
You can find them in stores selling stained glass panels, windows, and lamps.</div>
<h2 style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;">
Dare to be Bold</h2>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
You can use table and floor lamps to make a statement. Don’t be afraid to mix and match colors. They can change the entire mood of a room.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
Pick a shade that has an interesting or bold pattern. Make sure that the stand itself is decorative as and fits well with the background.</div>
<h2 style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;">
More on Table Lamps</h2>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
The above ideas will definitely help you when decorating your place. A clever mixture of both table and floor lamps is recommended. Enjoy yourself when remodeling your place.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
Remember the table lights and floor lamps will be at your home. Your main aim is to make your home both comfortable and breathtaking.

There is an increased popularity in home decoration and do-it-yourself projects (DIY) that spark creativity and make living spaces more comfortable. There is a high demand for stained glass windows that add beauty, art, and offer opacities for your privacy needs.</div>

Many homeowners love a great view and windows can brighten your home interiors. Every room in your house would benefit from having windows. They are a source of natural light and brighten your rooms for a healthier living.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
Installing stained glass windows is a beautiful way to decorate your home. Here’s what you need to know about choosing the right colors and textures.</div>
<h2 style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;">
1. Choose Glass for One Project at A Time</h2>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
When you are buying the glass for your project many factors influence your decision such as the opacity, color, texture, and ease of use. Identify the specific location for the window. This will help you focus on getting the right design and shade for the effect you want to create in that particular project.</div>
<h2 style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;">
2. Opacity</h2>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
Consider the purpose of getting the opaque glass. There’re Opals that you can’t see through them and there’s cathedral opaque that is transparent even with their intense and beautiful colors.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
The purpose could be to either mask an unsightly view or trying to control light. The bathroom is one place that the opals are used for privacy yet they can still be a source of light</div>
<h2 style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;">
3. Texture</h2>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
Texture determines if the window is suitable for your project or not. Some are smooth on one side while others are smooth on the front and back. There are others that are not perfectly smooth as well.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
When you are choosing the texture of the window, you need to consider the purpose of the window and your ability to clean the window</div>
<h2 style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;">
4. Color of Stained Glass Window</h2>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
You need to choose a color that will blend well with the environment that you have chosen to put the window. Color is critical in the world of stained glass, therefore, pick the tone of the furniture and other elements that are an integral part of making the glass window balance well.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
Your chosen color should create harmony in the room and make the <a href="https://books.google.co.ke/books?id=F5dj0ZqyGmwC&pg=PA246&lpg=PA246&dq=windows+as+home+decor+statistics&source=bl&ots=QuF-9nraz5&sig=ACfU3U2AxxcPZeOxxx0C50dglZxSki1TuQ&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj9s7jS1IvjAhUN8uAKHYXYBdY4ChDoATAEegQICBAB#v=onepage&q=windows%20as%20home%20decor%20statistics&f=false" rel="noreferrer" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: inherit; color: #298ee9; cursor: pointer; font-weight: inherit; text-decoration-line: none; transition: color 0.29s ease-in-out 0s;">interior design</a> stand out</div>
<h2 style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;">
5. Different Glass</h2>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
There are different glass compositions in the market. This means that glass will be different when you’re handling it or cutting it. Ensure you do a test sore before you cut it so that you can know how easily it breaks.</div>
<h2 style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;">
Choose the Color and Texture Stained Glass Windows like a Pro</h2>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
Glass selection is an important aspect of design for your project. Focus on creating a unique characteristic of the stained glass windows that will improve your home decoration needs.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
Choose the right texture and color based on the purpose of getting the window. Ensure you choose the stained glass when there’s a light source. When you get it in a poorly lit room, you may not get all its elements and it may not fit the purpose for which you intend to use it for.</div>

<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
There are so many options when you're looking for the perfect stained glass window. In this article, we'll discuss some of the most popular types of stained glass. </div>
<h2 style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;">
Glass Nuggets & Mosaic Glass</h2>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
Glass nuggets are also called globs or jewels. They're irregularly shaped and often come in different textures and sizes.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
Glass makers make nuggets by dropping a small drop of glass onto a smooth, flat surface. This results in a rounded, smooth nugget of glass. </div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
They may also be made by breaking apart larger pieces of glass. The glass pieces can then be fitted together to make different pictures and patterns. These little bits of glass are perfect for a mosaic art piece.</div>
<h2 style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;">
Antique Glass</h2>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
The term "antique" is the traditional term for glass made by hand rather than by machine. The term also applies to machine-made glass that looks like it was made by hand.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
Traditional antique glass makers <a href="https://craftschmaft.com/glass-blowing-complete-beginners-guide/" rel="noreferrer" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: inherit; color: #298ee9; cursor: pointer; font-weight: inherit; text-decoration-line: none; transition: color 0.29s ease-in-out 0s;">blow the glass</a> into a cylinder using their mouth and lungs. They then score the cylinder and heat it, flattening it out into a sheet of glass. </div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
Antique glass is more expensive than other types of glass, but its beauty is unparalleled. These glass sheets often have small bubbles of air trapped in them, making them more unique. And they're perfect for any type of glass project.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
But if you don't want to break the bank, you can get new forms of antique glass made from machines. Drawn glass is a good example.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
When making drawn glass, the bubble striations are applied by a machine rather than by hand. So it looks like antique glass but comes at a fraction of the cost. </div>
<h2 style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;">
Opalescent Glass</h2>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
Opalescent describes any glass that you can't see through. If you're looking for privacy, <a href="http://www.theglassmuseum.com/opalesc.htm" rel="noreferrer" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: inherit; color: #298ee9; cursor: pointer; font-weight: inherit; text-decoration-line: none; transition: color 0.29s ease-in-out 0s;">opalescent glass</a> is the way to go. There are varying degrees of opacity to choose from. </div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
Sheets of opalescent glass come in single colors or mixed colors. Mixes can have as many as four colors mixed in a single sheet. And mixed opalescent glass is always unique because of the way it's mixed. </div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
This glass is perfect for a room divider panel. Or for bathroom windows where you want more privacy.</div>
<h2 style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;">
Textured Glass</h2>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
Many of the glasses we mentioned here have their own, unique texture. And it's a popular technique to mix different textures within the glass on a single window pane.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
You can choose specific textures too, depending on your project. Glassmakers lay the glass out onto a table. Then, before it cools, they use an embossed roller to leave a texture behind.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
These textured glasses work great as jewels or geometric shapes inside of larger pictures. Also, a textured piece of glass is more interesting than straight, flat glass. So it's great for spicing up borders.</div>
<h2 style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;">
Types of Stained Glass for Your Home</h2>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
Adding different types of stained glass to your home is the perfect way to create a light, unique space. And you aren't limited to stained glass windows.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
Use stained glass inside of a room divider panel to add color to the room. Or create a hanging for in front of the window. Then you can move it around the room as you like. </div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">

Colorful glass artwork has been a part of human culture for <a href="http://www.historyofglass.com/glass-history/stained-glass-history/" rel="noreferrer" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: inherit; color: #298ee9; cursor: pointer; font-weight: inherit; text-decoration-line: none; transition: color 0.29s ease-in-out 0s;">thousands of years</a>. People started piecing together pieces of glass to form stained glass as far back as the fourth century. </div>
</div>
</div>

<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
Over the years, glass makers have used different metals to form the seams of stained glass artwork. Copper is one of the materials most often associated with this technique. </div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
Copper foil is a beautiful addition to a stained glass piece. And if you want to create your own stained glass, it's easier to do than using lead.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
Keep reading to learn everything you need to know about copper stained glass.</div>
<h2 style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;">
Copper vs Lead: What's the Difference?</h2>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
Copper foil and lead came are the most common ways to finish stained glass edges. Each metal gives a different look to the glass. And there are different ways of applying them. </div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
Both methods involve soldering. And no matter what technique you're using, make sure that the glass pieces fit together tightly. The better the fit, the stronger the piece of art is when it's finished. </div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
Lead comes in a thick channel called a came. The glass artist fits the came onto the edges of the glass. Then they solder the joints together, cementing them into place. </div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
The copper application starts by wrapping the edge of each piece of glass with a strip of thin, copper foil. The foil is wrapped around the edge of the glass and the pieces are soldered together.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
Lead came is a bit sturdier than copper foil, which makes it a good choice for large glass panels or big windows. But copper foil is easier to work with, which makes it a great option for beginners.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
Plus, there's a different look and feel to copper versus lead. It's all a matter of preference.</div>
<h2 style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;">
How to Make Copper Stained Glass</h2>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
The first step in the <a href="https://craftandleisure.com/how-copper-foil-stained-glass-tutorial-346/" rel="noreferrer" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: inherit; color: #298ee9; cursor: pointer; font-weight: inherit; text-decoration-line: none; transition: color 0.29s ease-in-out 0s;">process of making copper stained glass</a> is to cut and assemble your glass pieces. Make sure that the edges fit together and that there aren't any big gaps. Big gaps mean you'll have to use more solder and it won't be as strong. </div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
Wash each glass piece in the solution and let them dry completely before moving forward. The copper foil has a strip protecting the adhesive on the back. Cut your foil to size, then peel back the strip.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
Carefully press the foil onto the skinny edge of the glass. Make sure that the foil hangs over both sides. </div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
Use a small wooden tool called a fid to press the foil into the edge. Then wrap the excess foil around the sides of the glass. Use the fid to press the foil down on all edges. </div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
After you wrap all the pieces of glass, you're ready to solder. Assemble them again so you know which pieces go where. Then solder the joints for a nice, solid seal. </div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
Clean the newly soldered glass to remove excess soldering material from the joints. Then apply wax or patina to the soldered joints. This gives the piece a beautiful, finished look. </div>
<h2 style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;">

Stained glass is an art form that has been around <a href="http://www.historyofglass.com/glass-history/stained-glass-history/" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: inherit; color: #298ee9; cursor: pointer; font-weight: inherit; transition: all 0.29s ease-in-out 0s;">since ancient times</a>. Dating all the way back to Egyptians and Romans. However, stained glass as we know it today dates back to the 4th and 5th century when churches began using them in their construction.</div>
</div>
<div class="article__content-group" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 4em;">
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1rem;">
But stained glass isn't just for ancient buildings, it is still used and <a href="http://blog.stainedglasspanelsplus.com/2019/04/fascinating-and-fundamental-part-26.html" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: inherit; color: #298ee9; cursor: pointer; font-weight: inherit; transition: all 0.29s ease-in-out 0s;">loved by many today</a>. Especially builders who want to give their architecture a classic look.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1rem;">
But how exactly is this beautiful form of art created? Keep reading to find out the intricate process of making stained glass!</div>
<h2 style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #464646; font-family: roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;">
The Process of Making Stained Glass</h2>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1rem;">
Making stained glass windows can be a complicated process. Here are the primary steps.</div>
<h3 style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #464646; font-family: roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 0px;">
Step 1: Make a Cartoon</h3>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1rem;">
The first thing an artist does is make a sketch of what they want the stained glass to look like. Sometimes this can be in sections, and sometimes this can be the entire stained glass window. It can vary depending on the size and scope of the project. </div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1rem;">
These full sized drawings are cartoons, and no, these aren't Looney Tunes. Usually, more detailed information is on these cartoons. Things such as glass shapes and colors used.</div>
<h3 style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #464646; font-family: roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 0px;">
Step 2: Cut the Glass</h3>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1rem;">
Next, the artist will choose different colors of glass based on their unique window design. Then the artist paints the outline and cuts the rough pieces with a dividing iron.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1rem;">
The extremely hot tip is applied to the glass which causes it to break. The glass is then cut more intricately with <a href="https://mistholme.com/dictionary/grozing-iron/" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: inherit; color: #298ee9; cursor: pointer; font-weight: inherit; transition: all 0.29s ease-in-out 0s;">a grozing iron</a> to create the desired shape.</div>
<h3 style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #464646; font-family: roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 0px;">
Step 3: Paint the Pieces</h3>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1rem;">
After the pieces have been cut to size, the artist will then paint each piece with something called vitreous paint. This vitreous paint has little pieces of glass that during firing melt and merge with the glass. This gives it really nice black and brown tones.</div>
<h3 style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #464646; font-family: roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 0px;">
Step 4: Glazing and Leading</h3>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1rem;">
Glazing is the process of putting together and laying out the different pieces of glass as they will appear in the window. The artist then places the finished pieces on the cartoon and then joined together with lead to create the different panels. Those lead pieces are then <a href="https://www.dummies.com/programming/electronics/what-is-soldering-and-how-do-you-use-solder-tools/" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: inherit; color: #298ee9; cursor: pointer; font-weight: inherit; transition: all 0.29s ease-in-out 0s;">soldered together</a> on both sides to help lock in the stained glass panels.</div>
<h3 style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #464646; font-family: roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 0px;">
Step 5: Cement and Finish</h3>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1rem;">
The final step in this process is to cement the entire window using a semi-liquid cement. You apply this with a brush and then covered with sawdust or chalk to help soak up excess liquid. The last thing is to scrub the whole window with a dry brush until only the cement underneath the lead is left.</div>
<h2 style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #464646; font-family: roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;">
Marriage of Color and Light</h2>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1rem;">
The final product after making stained glass windows is something truly beautiful. Especially when the light shines through the glass just right. There are so many ways to decorate with stained glass windows!</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1rem;">

<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
Although you may think stained glass windows are reserved for churches and other historic buildings, there are plenty of gorgeous contemporary homes that use them.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
Want to know how to add an exciting twist to your living space? Keep reading for 5 tips on how to use modern stained glass windows in your home.</div>
<h2 style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;">
1. Consider Where the Light Hits</h2>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
Stained glass windows for homes are beautiful day or night, but it's important to note where the light will fall as the day progresses. Any colors that are present in your windows will also reflect on the floors, walls, and any other objects in the light's path.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
This isn't a big deal for most people, but if you're thinking about putting modern stained glass panels in your office, for example, the colors may be distracting.</div>
<h2 style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;">
2. Modern Stained Glass Windows Can Be Good in Small Doses</h2>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
Although you may have only seen huge stained glass windows before, you can add as much or as little to your windows as you like. In fact, you can have normal glass windows with small stained glass accents.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
Since glass is so easy to customize, you have all of the creative freedom to design a window that fits your unique aesthetic.</div>
<h2 style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;">
3. Choose the Right Colors for Each Room</h2>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
Stained glass can come in every hue imaginable. If you don't want to redecorate your room, you won't have any trouble finding windows that <a href="https://www.hgtv.com/design/decorating/color/how-to-choose-a-color-scheme-pictures" rel="noreferrer" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: inherit; color: #298ee9; cursor: pointer; font-weight: inherit; text-decoration-line: none; transition: color 0.29s ease-in-out 0s;">complement the colors in your decor</a>.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
Since there are no rules, you don't have to feel restricted by matching colors either. Adding a pop of rainbow into a more muted room can add just enough excitement to make the space feel more inviting.</div>
<h2 style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;">
4. Use Strategic Stained Glass Window Designs</h2>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
Another benefit of using stained glass windows is that you can create any design you like. If you want more traditional windows, you can stick with classic geometric shapes. If you want more unique windows, you can create designs with any patterns, shapes, colors, and sizes.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
Creating stained glass windows is similar to any other kind of art. You can turn any vision into a reality.</div>
<h2 style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;">
5. Think of It as Artwork</h2>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
Since there are no limits to what can be done with contemporary stained glass windows, they can have a big personality in your house. Thinking of your windows as art pieces can help you determine which designs will make you happy.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
If you wouldn't hang a painting over the area where your stained glass windows would go, then maybe that's not the right spot. Before you install your stained glass windows, try to approach the space with the same mentality as you would with adding any other art to your home.</div>
<h2 style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;">

You may have an open plan area in your home, such as a kitchen and dining area. Or maybe the entry and the living areas are in the same place.</div>

In these parts of your home, visitors can see all those light fixtures at once. Should you go for matching fixtures, or mix it up a little?</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
It's not always appropriate to use the same light fixtures in each of those zones. You wouldn't have a chandelier over your kitchen sink!</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
Maybe you want new fixtures because you're switching to <a href="https://www.iea.org/tcep/buildings/lighting/" rel="noreferrer" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: inherit; color: #298ee9; cursor: pointer; font-weight: inherit; text-decoration-line: none; transition: color 0.29s ease-in-out 0s;">LED lighting</a>. But how do you mix and match your light fixtures for the best effect? That's what we'll discuss in this post. Let's learn more about changing lighting fixtures to brighten your room!</div>
<h2 style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;">
Should Light Fixtures Match?</h2>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
As we've already said, not always. Sometimes, they don't even match within the same room. You might have a dressing room style lighting set up at your bathroom sink, but then you have pendant lights over the tub.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
How do you choose the types of light fixtures for a room? You need to match traits rather than entire fixtures. For example, you might choose different types of fixtures that share a style and a color palette.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
They'll work together as design elements within the room, but they'll also perform the intended function too.</div>
<h2 style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;">
Choosing Light Fixtures</h2>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
So you've decided on the design scheme for the room. When you're choosing light fixtures, avoid picking different fixtures from the same collection.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
Maybe the lighting designer has sconces and a chandelier in the same collection. Don't use them both in the same room. It'll lead to a monotonous look and rather than matching, they'll look dull.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
Instead, revisit the step above and find fixtures that match in theme, trait, color, or style. You can also use fixtures from the same collection in different rooms! That creates design harmony within the whole space.</div>
<h2 style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;">
Changing Lighting Fixtures</h2>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
Say you're changing light fixtures within a room, but you're not redecorating the whole space. Try choosing the same type of fixture but in a different material or color.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
You could swap a brass chandelier for a wooden one, or glass pendants for brushed steel. It'll give you the effect of a whole new redesign without spending money on new decor.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
If you've changed items like rugs or drapes, feel free to choose new light fixture colors to match them. You could also use <a href="https://www.colormatters.com/color-and-design/basic-color-theory" rel="noreferrer" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: inherit; color: #298ee9; cursor: pointer; font-weight: inherit; text-decoration-line: none; transition: color 0.29s ease-in-out 0s;">basic color theory</a> to find complementary shades for an ultra-modern look. Instead of matching lamps to your light fixtures, why not match your fixtures to your lamps?</div>
<h2 style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;">
Let There Be Light</h2>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
Now you know how to mix and match when you're changing lighting fixtures. Be brave and bold when choosing the styles that work together. You can also pick materials to match other colors and textures within the space. Don't be afraid to have fixtures from different collections or brands.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
And remember changing lighting fixtures can be the quickest way to breathe new life into a room. Why not check out our lighting catalog to find the best fixtures for you?</div>

<span style="color: #464646;">Lamps are an awesome way to light up a room. There are so many different styles and options, and it can be a little hard to choose which lamp to get. Well, don't worry! We're here to help you!</span></div>
<div class="article__body-container tab-content" id="bodyTabContent" style="box-sizing: inherit;">
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
There are a few things to consider when deciding on which lamps are a good fit for your child's room. Keep reading for some great tips on choosing the perfect lamp!</div>
<h2 style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;">
Consider Your Space</h2>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
When choosing the right lamp, you want to make sure it works in the space you are going to put it in. If you're just starting to put your child's room together, you may want to do things that will change the room drastically, like painting, first. One thing that won't change, though, is the size of your room.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
The size of the room will inform how much light will be needed. For a small room, one large floor lamp might be enough for general illumination. You can supplement it with one or two smaller lamps to give a nice ambiance. </div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
Is your child's room going to have a theme? Keep that in mind when selecting lamps. You can be as creative as you want! Have an underwater theme? Maybe try a multi-bulb tree lamp with a blue bulb that you can turn on for that under the sea vibe!</div>
<h2 style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;">
Pick Lamps That Work with Your Furniture</h2>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
What furniture you incorporate into your child's room is also a great way to inform your lamp choices.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
Do they have a desk for coloring or studying? A desk lamp is a good idea then. Use a desk lamp to add general ambiance to the room and as a dedicated activity light source. Having a dedicated light source for the desk can <a href="https://www.health.harvard.edu/healthbeat/safeguarding-your-sight" rel="noreferrer" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: inherit; color: #298ee9; cursor: pointer; font-weight: inherit; text-decoration-line: none; transition: color 0.29s ease-in-out 0s;" title="Reduce Eye Strain">help reduce eye strain</a> while your kid colors or reads.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
The same goes for you! If you have a rocking chair set up so that you can read your kid a bedtime story, a reading light is a wonderful thing. Rather than reading with the overhead light on and keeping your kid awake, you can focus the light primarily on the book. That way you can see, and your kid can slowly drift off to sleep in the lower light.</div>
<h2 style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;">
Don't Forget the Nightlight</h2>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
A nightlight is the quintessential child's room lamp. A small bedside nightlight can be fun and also functional.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
Children are often not as aware of their surroundings as adults, so having a small light on at night can help them get around when getting up to use the bathroom. Some kids fear the dark, and even those without a major fear usually feel more comfortable with a <a href="https://babysbrilliant.com/news/night-lights-benefit-babys-development/" rel="noreferrer" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: inherit; color: #298ee9; cursor: pointer; font-weight: inherit; text-decoration-line: none; transition: color 0.29s ease-in-out 0s;" title="Nightlight Benefits">little bit of light</a>.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
Nightlights come in all kinds of cool and cute designs, and you can find the perfect one to fit your child and the theme of their room! </div>
<h2 style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;">
Lamps to Fit Your Style</h2>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">

<span style="color: #464646;">Ever seen an odd-looking house? More often than not, the problem is with the windows. They might not look suitable for the house or they might seem outdated.</span></div>
<div class="article__body-container tab-content" id="bodyTabContent" style="box-sizing: inherit;">
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
Don’t let your home fall into the same trap.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
Finding the right windows that match current trends can turn into an uphill battle. In fact, the <a href="https://www.improvenet.com/r/costs-and-prices/window-installation-cost" rel="noreferrer" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: inherit; color: #298ee9; cursor: pointer; font-weight: inherit; text-decoration-line: none; transition: color 0.29s ease-in-out 0s;">average expenses on windows</a> are at $4,516, with maximum cost reaching up to $11,116.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
Knowing the expected values for your budget, you need windows that are both trendy and energy-efficient. Here are some window treatment trends designed to enrich your home with both a trendy and environmentally-friendly approach:</div>
<h2 style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;">
1. Black Window Frames</h2>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
Using black window frames would be a good start in veering towards the dramatic and modern look. White window frames tend to be more traditional when it comes to style.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
Since black works well with every color combination and home style, it continues to sit as a solid choice. It also helps with letting other designs pop out and shine. For instance, the use of black window frames can enhance printed or patterned window treatments.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
You can complement black window frames with light colored curtains for a play on harmony.</div>
<h2 style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;">
2. Window Decals</h2>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
One of the window treatment trends that you can try out is window decals. They are also a step away from traditional window treatments, leaning towards a different approach.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
Look for something unexpected or a bit unusual but appealing for you. Stained-glass looking window decals are a good example of this. The easy-to-install nature of window decals makes it a great alternative to regular drapes.</div>
<h2 style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;">
3. More Glass, Less Frame</h2>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
Another trend that continues to dazzle at this point is in having larger windows. More home buyers would aim for fixed windows and even corner windows. This provides a wider view area and more towards natural light.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
A great number of window manufacturers are doing away with grids to achieve this. All thanks to this particular approach with windows.</div>
<h2 style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;">
4. Fewer Window Screens</h2>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
Going with the trend mentioned earlier, the pursuit now also extends with having more of the windows and less of window screens. This design allows more sunlight into your home. It also makes the window look less like a set of prison bars.</div>
<h2 style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;">
5. Trendy Color Combinations</h2>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
When it comes to trends, both traditional and modern, <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/megykarydes/2018/06/26/the-color-trends-were-going-to-be-seeing-in-2019/" rel="noreferrer" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: inherit; color: #298ee9; cursor: pointer; font-weight: inherit; text-decoration-line: none; transition: color 0.29s ease-in-out 0s;">color palettes continue to influence designs</a>. In this case, these trends can go in two different directions.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
One is to go towards a brighter approach with white and soft beige. The other approach is towards a darker palette with the use of dark brown and dark grey, which work well with wood.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
Check out the style of your home first before deciding what to pick. The key here is finding the right combination that blends well with your home.</div>
<h2 style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;">
Go Modern with These Window Treatment Trends Today</h2>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 40em;">
In pursuing modern home trends, you can do so much that is within your home’s style and budget. With these window treatment trends and suggestions, you might be able to enrich and enhance your home’s overall style with these contemporary aesthetics in design.</div>

<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1rem;">
Why not use unique home accent pieces to express your individual instead? It's fun and doesn't have to be expensive either. </div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1rem;">
Looking for some cool ideas? Check out these five unique home accent pieces that'll set your home apart. </div>
<h2 style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;">
1. Statement Piece</h2>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1rem;">
The beauty of the statement piece is that it can be anything you want. It doesn't have to be art. Furniture, unusual wall decor, or an interesting lamp all fit the bill.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1rem;">
Small, medium, or large, it's a piece that captures your imagination and attention. The statement piece is the spotlight of the room. Design the room around it.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1rem;">
You probably won't find your statement piece in a big-box home store. But don't be surprised if you find it at a garage sale. Try a large mirror with an interesting frame on the biggest wall of your living room. </div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1rem;">
Mirrors add light and interest.</div>
<h2 style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;">
2. Beautiful Lighting</h2>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1rem;">
We all need lights. But we don't need boring lights! Overhead lights are often utilitarian and uninteresting. Adding unique lighting to all your rooms sets you apart from the crowd. </div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1rem;">
Try a funky modern chandelier over the dining room table. Or if your taste is traditional, find a beautiful old chandelier with lots of teardrop crystals. The right chandelier doubles as a statement piece.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1rem;">
Use lighting in a different way. Instead of a nightstand lamp, hang <a href="https://blog.1000bulbs.com/home/five-places-to-use-pendant-lighting" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: inherit; color: #298ee9; cursor: pointer; font-weight: inherit; text-decoration-line: none; transition: color 0.29s ease-in-out 0s;" title="https://blog.1000bulbs.com/home/five-places-to-use-pendant-lighting">an unusual pendant light.</a> It frees up space on the nightstand while giving your bedroom an unusual look. </div>
<h2 style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;">
3. Display Collectibles</h2>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1rem;">
Do you have a collection? Don't box it away or keep it in the den. Install floating shelves high on the wall. Putting your collectibles on display is more fun than stashing them in the den or boxing them up. </div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1rem;">
<a href="https://www.collectorsweekly.com/bottles/overview" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: inherit; color: #298ee9; cursor: pointer; font-weight: inherit; text-decoration-line: none; transition: color 0.29s ease-in-out 0s;" title="https://www.collectorsweekly.com/bottles/overview">From vintage bottles</a> to figurines, your collectibles add a personal touch. Do you collect baseball cards? Consider framing your favorites and creating a gallery wall. </div>
<h2 style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;">
4. Try an Unusual Timepiece</h2>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1rem;">
Most people use their cellphone or the clock on the microwave to keep track of time. But a unique clock is functional and decorative. Find something quirky and fun and hang it in a prominent location. </div>
<h2 style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;">
5. A Cool Room Divider</h2>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1rem;">
There are many interesting ways to divide a room. You don't always need a wall. Hang a decorative screen from the ceiling. Another great accent divider is an open bookshelf.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1rem;">
Use a tall, narrow bookshelf that's open on both sides. Put books and other decorative items on the shelf. Place the shelf between the two areas you want divided. </div>
<h2 style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></h2>
<h2 style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;">
Separate Yourself from the Crowd with Unique Home Accents</h2>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1rem;">
Don't decorate like everyone else. Set yourself apart with unique home accents. Put your signature style on the above ideas and be the envy of all your neighbors. </div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1rem;">
Start with some statement pieces for the main rooms in your home. Use unusual lighting and fun clocks throughout the house. Divide a big room with a decorative screen or bookshelf. </div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1rem;">

Light Up Your Life: 3 Qualities to Look For in Reproduction Tiffany Lamps</h1>
</div>
<div class="article__content-group" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #464646; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 4em;">
<div class="article__content-group-label" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(233, 233, 233); box-sizing: inherit; color: grey; font-weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.5px; margin-bottom: 14px;">
<span style="color: #464646;">Stained glass lamps are prized for their beauty and character. Here's 3 qualities to look for in reproduction Tiffany lamps.</span></div>
</div>
<div class="article__content-group" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #464646; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 4em;">
<div class="article__content-group-label" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(233, 233, 233); box-sizing: inherit; color: grey; font-weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.5px; margin-bottom: 14px;">
<span style="color: #464646;">Picture yourself walking down the streets of Rome.</span></div>
</div>
<div class="article__content-group" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #464646; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 4em;">
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1rem;">
As you're walking, you discover a beautiful cathedral. You walk inside and look up.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1rem;">
What you see takes your breath away.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1rem;">
You see sunlight pouring through a beautiful stained glass dome. You must find a way to make this beauty a part of your home, but how?</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1rem;">
Fortunately, this problem already has a solution. Reproduction Tiffany lamps - beautiful stained glass at your fingertips.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1rem;">
Be careful, though, not all reproductions are created equally.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1rem;">
Let's talk about how to spot a genuine reproduction so you can induce the same euphoric feelings in your home.</div>
<h2 style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;">
Perfectly Imperfect Glass</h2>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1rem;">
Genuine reproduction Tiffany lamps have beautiful, vivid glass.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1rem;">
The <a href="http://www.madehow.com/Volume-2/Stained-Glass.html" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: inherit; color: #298ee9; cursor: pointer; font-weight: inherit; text-decoration-line: none; transition: color 0.29s ease-in-out 0s;">process of making stained glass</a> is quite complex. The craftsmanship of the glass is unique to each piece. Therefore, no lamps are ever identical, contributing to the Tiffany lamp value on the market.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1rem;">
The glass will have small imperfections such as bubbles, lines and even cracks. Bubbles and lines can occur during the creation process while cracks can be caused by the heat of light bulbs over years of usage.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1rem;">
Cheap reproductions, however, tend to look perfect. However, this is a dead giveaway and a false impression.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1rem;">
Mass produced Tiffany lamps are made with low-quality glass. Sometimes they are even made with plastic. The lamp shade may appear bright and elegant, but the illusion fades once the lamp is lit. </div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1rem;">
The poor quality glass or plastic pales in comparison to the true art glass genuine reproduction Tiffany lamps are made with.</div>
<h2 style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;">
The Base, Who Says Heavy Isn't Beautiful?</h2>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1rem;">
The base of Tiffany lamps is generally made with real bronze. Underneath the bronze is lead, to give the lamp its characteristic heavy, solid feel.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1rem;">
Mass producers of low-quality lamps are smart, however, and often use a cheaper metal coated in a bronze finish.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1rem;">
If you can't <a href="https://sciencing.com/test-bronze-4882400.html" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: inherit; color: #298ee9; cursor: pointer; font-weight: inherit; text-decoration-line: none; transition: color 0.29s ease-in-out 0s;">discern whether or not it's real bronze</a>, try to find other clues that might determine it's quality or authenticity.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1rem;">
Similar to high-end purses and watches, faux lamp producers try to make their products seem more legitimate by placing stamps or signatures on them. Don't rely solely on these markers.</div>
<h2 style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;">
In the World of Reproduction Tiffany Lamps, You Get What You Pay For</h2>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1rem;">
Yes, the old adage is true. You get what you pay for.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1rem;">
If you want a beautiful, high-quality Tiffany lamp, you have two options.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1rem;">
First, you can buy an original. This is the more expensive option, as a genuine antique Tiffany lamp's value can soar up to millions of dollars.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1rem;">
If you're not a millionaire, however, a better option would be to buy a genuine reproduction. Reproductions also hold high values, sometimes ranging up to six thousand dollars, but are much more affordable.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1rem;">
However, prices and pictures of Tiffany lamps won't always tell you everything you need to know. Make sure you are buying from a reputable vendor that appreciates the product they are selling.</div>
<h2 style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;">
Beneath the Surface</h2>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1rem;">
If you are in the market for a Tiffany lamp, you already know that you are buying more than just a lamp.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1rem;">
Tiffany lamps are full of history and passion.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1rem;">
The craftsmanship and dedication put into each lamp make each one unique and special in its own right.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1rem;">
Simply put, a Tiffany lamp doesn't just add light to a room, it adds light to your life.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1rem;">

Addling light to different rooms in your home can illuminate your home's decor. Check out these 4 bright ideas for decoration with floor lamps.</h6>
<h4 style="font-size: 16px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
Winter time is nearly over, and do you know what that means?</h4>
<div style="font-size: 16px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
Spring Cleaning.</div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
No matter how much we wish it would stop coming around, spring cleaning time keeps showing up every year. And since we can't shake it, we might as well find a way to have some fun with it, right?</div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
Spring cleaning time is the perfect time to rearrange and redecorate your home.</div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
Redecorating your home will make your old furniture feel new again, and consequently, <a href="https://galaxydraperies.com/psychology-interior-design-decor-affect-emotions/">help you feel new again</a>, too.</div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
Get your ideas and styles ready before springtime rolls around. Add some fresh paint, new rugs, and try your hand at light decorations.</div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
Whether you're decorating with floor lamps or learning new angles, playing with different lighting styles is a great way to brighten up any home.</div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
So throw on your coolest shades because it's about to get really bright in here. Read on to learn how lamps can brighten your whole home.</div>
<h2 style="font-size: 24px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
Play With Angles</h2>
<div style="font-size: 16px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
Many lamps come adjustable so that you can angle the light to fit particular tasks. Try to select lamps with a bendable goose-neck base or even lamps with a swivel-arm feature.</div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
Point your lamp lighting at a particular painting, trophy, or any item that you want to draw attention to.</div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
The more flexibility that your lamps have, the more flexibility you'll have.</div>
<h2 style="font-size: 24px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
Decorate with Floor Lamps</h2>
<div style="font-size: 16px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
Floor lamps can be a great addition to any room. They add stability to a room and can also be used to fill in empty spaces.</div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
Floor lamps are also great if you tend to keep your end tables in full use. Since they stand tall they tend to take up less space in a room.</div>
<h2 style="font-size: 24px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
To Be or Not to Be Shady?</h2>
<div style="font-size: 16px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
Play with different lamps shades!</div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
A new lamp shade can bring any old lamp back to life.</div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
Most lamps have traditional colors, like black, brown, or grey, for their base. This allows you much versatility when interchanging lampshades.</div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
Add some pink flair to accent a picture you love or try your hand at stained glass shades.</div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
If you're going to play with stained glass, do some <a href="http://facweb.cs.depaul.edu/sgrais/colorschemes.htm">research first on color schemes</a>. For example, light colors, like yellow, can make a room feel large and warm, while darker colors, like red, tend to give the room a smaller feel.</div>
<h2 style="font-size: 24px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
Location Location Location</h2>
<div style="font-size: 16px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
Understand that location is everything. You wouldn't put your couch in the middle of the room, would you?</div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
It's the same idea with lamps. Corners are great locations for lamps because, assuming you have the right color scheme, the light can bounce off of the paint on the walls and shine throughout the room.</div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
You can also choose to mount lights on the walls if you feel your home is already crowded. This will keep you from tripping over cords and knocking cups off of overcrowded end tables.</div>
<h2 style="font-size: 24px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
Why Stop With Lamps?</h2>
<div style="font-size: 16px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
You've got the lamp techniques down, but why stop at decorating with floor lamps and cool shades?</div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
Add some new flair to your home with custom designed stained glass? Class up your kitchen, sun room, or sliding doors with your favorite colors.</div>

Upgrading Your View? 3 Things to Know Before You Replace Windows</h1>
<h3 style="font-size: 18.73px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
Upgrading Your View? 3 Things to Know Before You Replace Windows</h3>
<h6 style="font-size: 10.73px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
Good windows are our home's view to world outside. If you're thinking of upgrading your view, here are 3 things to know before you replace windows.</h6>
<h4 style="font-size: 16px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
Traditional aluminum windows have an expected lifespan of <a href="https://www.thisoldhouse.com/ideas/how-long-things-last">15 to 20 years</a>. Wooden windows can last up to 30 years.</h4>
<div style="font-size: 16px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
While modern windows are designed to last, nothing lasts forever. Eventually, you are going to have to replace the windows in your home.</div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
However, since the process of replacing windows is a huge undertaking and quite an investment, there is some important information you should know first. Keep reading to know what that information is.</div>
<h2 style="font-size: 24px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
1. Replacement or Retrofit?</h2>
<div style="font-size: 16px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
If you are doing other construction on your home, such as replacing the stucco or siding, then true replacement windows may be necessary. This requires you to cut the siding or stucco, remove the flashing paper, and then take out the entire window.</div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
A retrofit is when the exterior of your home remains unaltered and damage free. The old window frame's perimeter isn't removed. Instead, the new window is installed inside the old framework.</div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
The new windows installed are slightly smaller. The good news is, you can barely notice this once everything is in place.</div>
<h2 style="font-size: 24px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
2. Window Frame Options</h2>
<div style="font-size: 16px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
You need to choose a window frame that works for your home and your house. There are several options for you to choose from with the most popular highlighted here.</div>
<h3 style="font-size: 18.73px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
Vinyl Frames</h3>
<div style="font-size: 16px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
These are typically white or brownish in color. These are low maintenance and simple to clean. This option is becoming popular for many homeowners who want a more durable frame.</div>
<h3 style="font-size: 18.73px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
Aluminum Frames</h3>
<div style="font-size: 16px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
This type of material provides great insulation. They are also available in darker colors. This is a traditional frame type and is still popular today.</div>
<h3 style="font-size: 18.73px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
Fiberglass Frames</h3>
<div style="font-size: 16px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
With this frame, there's no maintenance necessary. You can even paint the surface to coordinate with your home. These are one of the more expensive options, so keep that in mind.</div>
<h3 style="font-size: 18.73px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
Wood Frames</h3>
<div style="font-size: 16px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
Wood window frames are still a popular option today. You can get these frames in an array of colors, but they have to be pained ever two to three years. Also, wood won't last as long as some of the other materials listed here.</div>
<h2 style="font-size: 24px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
3. The Glass</h2>
<div style="font-size: 16px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
You can choose single glazed or double-glazed windows for your home. Each option has both pros and cons.</div>
<h3 style="font-size: 18.73px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
Single-Glazed Windows</h3>
<div style="font-size: 16px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
This type of glass is created with a single pane. This design makes them extremely easy to replace if they break. They are also easy to clean. The downside is that they don't offer very much insulation.</div>
<h3 style="font-size: 18.73px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
Double-Glazed Windows</h3>
<div style="font-size: 16px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
Just as the name implies, these windows have two panes of glass and a layer of air trapped in between them. This design provides much more insulation than single-glazed glass.</div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
However, it's important to note that the seal may <a href="https://www.homeadvisor.com/r/advantages-of-double-pane-windows/">fail after about 15 to 20 years</a>. Also, having to replace a broken pane of double-glass is costly.</div>
<h2 style="font-size: 24px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">

Classy Glass: 9 Sophisticated Ways to Decorate with Stained Glass Panels</h1>
<h3>
9 Sophisticated Ways to Decorate with Stained Glass Panels</h3>
<h6>
Stained glass panels add a touch of sophistication to any living space. Class up your home décor with these 9 awesome ideas for decorating with stained glass.</h6>
<h4>
No longer just a feature in old churches, today stained glass panels add a touch of sophistication to any living space. </h4>
Why not add some class to your home décor with these 9 awesome ideas for decorating with stained glass.<br />
<h2>
1. External Door Panel</h2>
Of course, the first place to start with stained glass is the most traditional - your front door. Use your <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/houzz/2016/04/12/how-to-create-a-welcoming-entryway/#611b7d7e2812" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">entrance to set the tone</a> of your home, and what's in store.<br />
For security purposes, the stained glass window panels in your front door will likely be fairly small, so bold colors and compact designs work well here.<br />
<h2>
2. Entrance Panels</h2>
Depending on your home, you may have 1, 2 or even 3 glass panels flanking your stained glass front door. Why not upgrade your décor and create a set by changing the plain glass to stained glass instead?<br />
<h2>
3. Internal Doors</h2>
Your internal doors are perfect for stained glass, and give you a whole host of options and <a href="https://www.thespruce.com/choosing-interior-paint-colors-4011484" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">color choices</a> depending on the way you use your room. Think about the feel you want your room to have when choosing a stained glass design.<br />
<h2>
4. Above Internal Doors</h2>
The space above an internal door is a highly underrated yet effective way to draw light into a room. Adding panels above your internal doors brighten up a hallway, too, and add a stunning feature piece to your home.<br />
<h2>
5. Feature Wall</h2>
Stained glass panels make for an impressive feature wall in any room. If you have a beautiful garden or outside space, why not design your feature wall to frame that view, so you can enjoy the outdoors whatever the season.<br />
<h2>
6. Kitchen Windows</h2>
The kitchen is the heart of a home, and what better way to add warmth than giving it its own stained glass windows!<br />
Stained glass in a kitchen allows for the colored light to dance along the surface of your kitchen units, and really bring the heart of your home to life.<br />
<h2>
7. Staircase Window Panel</h2>
The staircase in your home and the space it takes up is often fairly uninspiring and a little boring, if we're being honest.<br />
Stained glass won't just add interest, but it'll draw the eye and make coming downstairs a joy, rather than a chore.<br />
<h2>
8. Stained Glass Ceiling</h2>
Another way to add elegance to your home is by installing a <a href="https://www.stainedglasspanelsplus.com/category-s/139.htm">stained glass ceiling</a>. The way to do this is to have it in a single-story part of your home, like a conservatory or extension.<br />
A stained glass ceiling provides the beauty of color and light and will provide a wonderful talking point for your guests, too.<br />
<h2>
9. Shower Screen</h2>
Finally, what better way to set off your home than by installing a stained glass shower screen?<br />
The panel won't just be beautiful, but it'll be functional, too, and give you something to admire while performing your daily ablutions.<br />
<h2>
Stained Glass Panels - Show Off Your Style</h2>
Stained glass panels make for a stunning display of elegance in any home. Used effectively, the beauty of stained glass can show off a room or draw the eye outside, all while being functional at the same time.<br />
Any home can utilize the beauty and sophistication that stained glass brings. Why not <a href="https://www.stainedglasspanelsplus.com/Articles.asp?ID=254">contact us</a>, and see how we can help you show off your stained glass style at home.<br />

<span style="font-size: small;">Hello!</span></h1>
<h1 style="font-size: 32px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
Can Stained Glass Windows Add Value to Your Home?</h1>
<h3 style="font-size: 18.73px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
Can Stained Glass Windows Add Value to Your Home?</h3>
<h6 style="font-size: 10.73px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
Are you looking for a beautiful addition to your home that can also add value to it? Here are a few reasons to consider stained glass windows.</h6>
<h4 style="font-size: 16px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
So many homeowners watch home improvement shows, see how much <a href="https://www.bankrate.com/finance/real-estate/best-home-fixes-for-the-money-1.aspx">value people get from their renovations</a>, and decide it's a great investment. Did you know the wrong renovations can actually reduce your home's value, though?</h4>
<div style="font-size: 16px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
You don't have to be one of those cases. The key is researching what projects will add value to your home and then complete them in the right way.</div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
Sure, there are obvious improvements like new flooring or a more open concept. You can also go for a more original design feature like stained glass windows. Here's what you need to know about the value boost they can bring. </div>
<h2 style="font-size: 24px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
How Can Stained Glass Windows Add Value to My Home?</h2>
<div style="font-size: 16px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
Customizing your home's design can make your house feel more like your own, but it can add value to your house too. Stained glass windows offer both of those benefits.</div>
<h3 style="font-size: 18.73px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
Valuable Artwork</h3>
<div style="font-size: 16px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
The obvious way stained glass windows bring value is because they carry a value of their own. Each assembled <a href="https://www.stainedglasspanelsplus.com/category-s/138.htm">window is a work of art</a>, whether you commission a custom one or buy a pre-assembled option.</div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
Much like hanging a painting, your stained glass window has its own value and as part of your home, that value goes into your home's sale price.</div>
<h3 style="font-size: 18.73px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
Unique Detail</h3>
<div style="font-size: 16px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
Have you every gotten shopping fatigue? You're looking for a particular item and after a while, all the options blend together in your mind.</div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
That happens to house hunters too, and your home can fall through the cracks if it doesn't <a href="https://www.familyhandyman.com/smart-homeowner/20-ways-to-make-your-home-look-attractive-on-the-market/view-all/">stand out to prospective buyers</a>. By serving as a unique detail that sticks in a buyer's mind, a stained glass window can lead to a more successful sale.</div>
<h3 style="font-size: 18.73px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
Customized Charm</h3>
<div style="font-size: 16px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
Most homeowners have a specific style or feel that they want to create in their home. Maybe you want an urban, trendy vibe or that of a cozy cottage.</div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
While most people think of stained glass windows as an old world and traditional design feature, they have far more variety than that. You can use a <a href="https://www.stainedglasspanelsplus.com/category-s/144.htm">stained glass window in any style</a> you choose.</div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
This gives you a more cohesive and immersive feel throughout your house. Buyers love being able to define a home in their minds, so this is a great way to add value to your house.</div>
<h2 style="font-size: 24px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
Getting Great Value from Your Stained Glass Windows</h2>
<div style="font-size: 16px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
If you want to carry your personal style into your home while also gaining value from the house, stained glass windows can be the perfect way to do it.</div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
The key is to identify the right design, invest in quality, and limit the windows to accents. If the entire house is full of stained glass windows, they could lose their appeal attention-grabbing features.</div>
<span style="font-size: 16px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">

<div style="font-size: 16px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
<br />Around the late 1800s, this concept was used to make the first stained glass lamps. <a href="https://homeguides.sfgate.com/identify-real-tiffany-lamp-53447.html">Tiffany lamps</a>, one of the most popular kinds, were all the rage around 1895.Â<br /><br />In 2018, stained glass lamps are not common in most homes.

A stained glass hanging lamp over a pool table is a timeless look. A small lamp on a table next to your favorite sports memorabilia is another classic look. </div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">
A standing lamp in the corner will give enough light to the room will spreading those stained glass colors across the walls for a cozy retreat.<br /><br /><strong>3. Highlight other antiques</strong>. A great way to decorate with a stained glass lamp is to put it on a small desk or table with some other older items. If you have any older pottery, picture frames, candles or other objects the lamp is a great way to bring them all together in a cozy little collectibles nook.<br /><br /><strong>4. Focus on the lamp</strong>. Even if you don't have any antiques or anything that would match the decor, don't worry about it. Something as elegant as a stained glass lamp doesn't require any help. Just display the lamp out in the open or on a desk or table that puts it in the spotlight. This focal point of the room will definitely be a conversation piece when people come to visit!.<br /><br /><strong>5. Let there be light</strong>. You actually don't need any interior design experience to decorate with stained glass lamps. Just put the lamp in any room along with your regular lamps and the extra pop of color creates some comfortable mood lighting.</div>

5 Reasons to Consider Stained Glass Windows For Homes</h3>
<h6>
Stained glass isn't just for churches. Here are some great reasons you should consider stained glass windows for your home.</h6>
<h4>
Keyword(s): stained glass windows for homes</h4>
<br />
Are you considering stained glass windows for your home?<br />
Stained glass windows are <a href="https://www.tampabay.com/news/religion/stained-glass-is-about-to-get-a-lot-more-expensive-for-churches/2281025">popular in churches</a> but they can also make a beautiful addition to your home. They were popular in the Victorian Era because of their unique style and are still very popular today throughout the United States.<br />
But how will stained windows make your home different?<br />
Read on to learn 5 reasons to consider stained glass windows for homes!<br />
<h2>
1. Make a Statement</h2>
Stained glass windows make your home stand out in a unique way.<br />
That's because they make a statement about your home design. Each window tells its own story, which makes them a talking point for you and your guests.<br />
Visitors will be drawn to the colorful designs and be curious about what made you pick those over other options. Since each window tells its own story, this makes them a talking point for you and your guests.<br />
<h2>
2. Artwork on Windows</h2>
Stained glass is much more interesting than the windows found in an average home or office.<br />
That's because they are often designed by artisans that bring your ideas to life. This makes your windows a piece of artwork and a great way for you and your family to personally express yourselves.<br />
Stained glass is also full of colors, which can help them the centerpiece of your home's artwork. This allows you to forego purchasing other expensive pieces of art to accent your home.<br />
<h2>
3. Extra Privacy With Natural Light</h2>
Stained glass for windows gives your home extra privacy while also not sacrificing natural light.<br />
With standard windows, there is no color which allows someone to see through them clearly. This can create safety and privacy concerns for you and your family.<br />
Because of this, homeowners with standard windows often buy window treatments like blinds, shutters, or curtains.<br />
Besides being expensive, these window treatments also prevent natural light from entering your home unless they are open.<br />
Stained glass has enough color to block visibility while also being naturally translucent.<br />
<h2>
4. Increase Your Home Value</h2>
You can increase your home value by adding stained glass windows.<br />
According to the <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/property-top-of-the-glass-period-features-1-stained-glass-1341405.html">Independent</a>, you can add between 5 and 15 percent of value in your home by installing stained glass windows.<br />
But, how?<br />
Stained glass windows are built to withstand the test of time. This allows them to maintain the integrity of your home.<br />
They also give your home period authenticity because they are indicative of the era when they were installed.<br />
<h2>
5. Be Creative</h2>
Your home is a reflection of you and your family's personality. Stained glass is a creative way to express yourself while also thinking outside the box.<br />
For example, you can choose stained glass windows that are based on themes for each room in your home.<br />
This way, no window in your home will be exactly the same.<br />
<h2>
Wrapping Up: The Best Stained Glass Windows For Homes</h2>
Stained glass windows for homes are a fun way to express your style and make your home different.<br />

5 Stunning Ways to Style Your Home With Stained Glass</h1>
<h3>
5 Stunning Ways to Style Your Home With Stained Glass</h3>
<h6>
Are you looking for a great way to add color to your home? Here are some incredible ways you can style your home using stained glass.</h6>
<h4>
Every great home design has a creative mix of colors throughout the house. Whether you're going for a modern look or an art deco space, the right use of color is crucial.</h4>
You don't want to end up with a home design that falls flat because there isn't enough color to liven it up. On the other hand, you risk going over the top and missing the mark if the colors you pick out clash.<br />
Luckily, there are tons of tricks to help you find a happy balance - and one of them is the use of stained glass. If you've never thought of hanging stained glass in your home, you need to seriously consider it.<br />
Here are 5 ways you can style this beautiful piece of interior design.<br />
<h2>
1. On the Front Door</h2>
Lots of <a href="http://www.frugal-mama.com/2015/02/using-architectural-salvage-to-beautify-your-home-and-save-money/">vintage doors</a> already come with stained glass on them, and there's really no need to change that. You may want to clean the glass a bit or swap out some of the colors, but it would be a huge mistake to change the entire design of such a door.<br />
If you have a modern front door with window panels or a more basic setup, it's easy to incorporate stained glass. You can also put stained glass around the door if there are small windows in the entryway.<br />
<h2>
2. In the Kitchen</h2>
The next place that stained glass would look absolutely beautiful is the kitchen. All you need is a small touch to transform the look and feel of the room.<br />
Imagine putting a border of stained glass around the kitchen window, or by covering one the window panels entirely if you have a lot of windows in the room. There are all kinds of possibilities in this part of the house. Don't be afraid to play with different ideas until you're sure of the best choice.<br />
<h2>
3. To Brighten the Bathroom</h2>
Another space that could benefit from a touch of stained glass is the bathroom.<br />
Whether you have a large master bathroom or a small guest bath, stained glass can create more comfort and beauty in this space. It can make a tiny <a href="https://www.realtor.com/advice/buy/what-is-a-half-bath/">half-bath</a> look a lot bigger and it makes a big bathroom feel more welcoming, too.<br />
<h2>
4. On the Ceiling</h2>
Here's an interesting thought: if you have a sunroom with a glass ceiling or a few skylights somewhere in the house, you have a great canvas to incorporate stained glass onto.<br />
This isn't to say you have to completely cover the glass on your ceiling. But, a nice border on the ceiling of the sunroom or a stained glass design on a skylight would be a nice touch. These are stunning upgrades that really make a statement.<br />
<h2>
5. As Wall Decor</h2>
If you can't find any openings or windows to place your stained glass, consider framing a piece of stained glass. It sounds a little silly at first, but it looks amazing once you actually do it.<br />
All you need to do is find a place on your walls that needs a bit of color. You could hang a set of stained glass in the living room or put it in the entryway among family pictures and loving quotes.<br />
Wherever you hang it, though, it's sure to be a lovely addition to your home.<br />
<h2>
Find the Perfect Stained Glass for Your Home</h2>
You still have to find the ideal piece of art once you figure out where you'd like to put your stained glass. This is a process of its own. There are all kinds of stained glass designs to choose from, and the right one can be difficult to choose.<br />
It is out there, though. You just have to find it!<br />
You can start your search by taking a moment to explore the stained glass we offer.<br />
<br />

What's it Worth? 7 Signs Your Stained Glass Pieces are Valuable</h3>
<h6>
So you found some stained glass pieces and you're wondering what they're worth. Start with these signs of valuable stained glass pieces.</h6>
<h4>
Keyword(s): stained glass pieces</h4>
<br />
To a lot of people, stained glass might just look like junk. It may seem like it has no value at all.<br />
You know that this is not always true. Stained glass pieces can offer a lot of value and in the right hands, can be worth a lot of money.<br />
How can you know if the stained glass you have can earn you some extra cash?<br />
There are some simple tips that you will be able to follow in order to determine the value of your stained glass.<br />
<h2>
1. What's the Condition?</h2>
The first thing to look at when you want to find out how much your stained glass is worth is the condition the pieces are in. If the pieces are scratched or chipped, they are going to be worth much less money than if they are in mint condition.<br />
<h2>
2. Are These Stained Glass Pieces Rare?</h2>
Pieces that are made by artists that only have a few items out there or are well-known and unique are much more desirable to the general public.<br />
When people want a certain type of stained glass, they are willing to give up more of their money.<br />
<h2>
3. How Do They Look?</h2>
This kind of relates to the condition of the stained glass, but it also relates to the way that it looks. Does it look pretty? Does it have an unsettling pattern?<br />
A lot of the popular pieces that are <a href="http://blog.stainedglasspanelsplus.com/2018/06/fascinating-and-fundamental-part-6.html">more beautiful and aesthetically appealing</a> will cost and be worth more. People want things that look nice!<br />
<h2>
4. Are The Pieces Genuine?</h2>
Is your glass the real deal or is your glass a copycat?<br />
Glass that can be shown to come from a specific artist, time period or style may be more valuable. If the glass pieces are just fake stained glass, they likely are not going to be worth as much overall.<br />
<h2>
5. What Kind of Glass Is It?</h2>
This may not seem important, but it really does matter the <a href="https://www.encyclopedia.com/literature-and-arts/art-and-architecture/art-general/stained-glass">type of glass the pieces</a> are made from. This can help to determine the time period and can affect the overall value in this way.<br />
For instance, if the glass is opalescent, which means there is more than one color, this will show that it had to have been created after 1880. Obviously, pieces that can be dated as being older are going to be worth more since they are more unique.<br />
<h2>
6. Can You Determine the Style?</h2>
The <a href="https://www.stainedglasspanelsplus.com/category-s/144.htm">style of the stained glass</a> can also help to show what year it may have been made. In addition to this, the style will appeal to specific buyers more than others if someone is collecting stained glass from a certain style, such as art deco or primitive styles.<br />
<h2>
7. How Old Is It?</h2>
This has been mentioned, but if there is solid proof that the stained glass can be <a href="http://stainedglassmuseum.com/briefhistory.html">dated to a certain point in time</a>, you will have a much easier time selling it and getting your money's worth as well.<br />
<h2>
Tell Me The Value!</h2>
People like to purchase things that are unique, expensive, and specific, which is why these factors are so important if you want to determine the value of any stained glass you may come across.<br />
There are a lot of stained glass pieces out there, both real and fake, so it is crucial that you pay close attention to what you are buying or trying to sell. No one likes to be tricked and having the necessary knowledge to prevent that is always a wise decision.<br />

<h3>
5 Ways to Add a Touch of Victorian Decor to Your Living Room</h3>
<h6>
A little Victorian decor can give your home a dramatic and extravaggant look. Here's how to infuse your living room with Victorian style.</h6>
<h4>
The <a href="https://study.com/academy/lesson/victorian-interior-design-history.html">Victorian period</a> is remembered as one of the most opulent times in recent history.</h4>
Adding Victorian decor to a modern home is an excellent way to stand out from the crowd.<br />
How though do you achieve that unique style using modern materials?<br />
Here are five ways you can give a room or your entire home a Victorian makeover.<br />
<h2>
1. The Layered Look</h2>
Victorian style was all about excess. Heavy furniture dripping with gold, bold lamps, display cases, and all manner of oddments.<br />
To achieve a modern Victorian design for your home, don't be afraid to layer. Combine dark wood furniture with opulent Persian rugs. Coffee and end tables should never be left open.<br />
The Victorian home was proud to show off the wealth and grandeur it contained. Place clocks, elegant coasters, display pieces, and mementos liberally. This shouldn't interfere with the functionality of course, but other than that the sky's the limit.<br />
<h2>
2. Lighting</h2>
Light is one of the key elements of any home design. In a Victorian house interior, this is even more crucial.<br />
Your light sources should be more than functional. Use tastefully <a href="https://www.stainedglasspanelsplus.com/category-s/148.htm">decorated lamps</a> placed in precise locations. Ceiling fixtures must act as a showcase of your personal style.<br />
For the ultimate display of Victorian splendor, use an antique chandelier. Something positively dripping with elegant cut glass or crystal.<br />
Natural lighting is just as important. Use a mix of well-placed windows for illumination with classic stained glass panels. There's nothing that reveals the old-world elegance and grandeur like the light of the sun playing through a multicolored stained glass panel.<br />
<h2>
3. Opulent Patterning</h2>
Victorian homes made heavy use of intricate patterns. Furniture, wallpaper, and carpeting were just a few of the most common examples of this.<br />
In Victorian times the word on every lip <a href="http://www.vam.ac.uk/content/articles/v/victorian-furniture-styles/">was aspirational</a>. The emerging middle class suddenly had the resources to decorate their homes in ways previously available only to the aristocracy.<br />
Nowhere was this more apparent than in the detailed and highly sculpted patterns of their furnishings. Mix this into your home using a piece with an homage to the gothic revival, Tudor, or arts and crafts styles.<br />
<h2>
4. Wall Styling</h2>
Victorian style was all about the contrasting views. Use wallpaper or an interesting paint scheme to help your home stand out.<br />
Victorian parlors were often covered with patterned wallpaper. Think of the repeating Fleur de Lis design on raised paper.<br />
If you prefer paint, use bold color with white trim. An accent wall is another excellent way to add Victorian flair.<br />
<h2>
5. Integrate Modern and Victorian Decor</h2>
Sometimes it's the incongruity of styles that create the most striking visual tableau's. Combine modern amenities and features with Victorian style to put your own individual touch on a room.<br />
A brand new computer sitting on a 19th century engraved desk. A flatscreen tv framed by victorian lamps on an elegant stand. All of these can give your home a touch of Victorian elegance without overpowering your personal style.<br />
<h2>
Don't Forget to Have Fun</h2>
Decorating your home should bring you joy! If you want to incorporate Victorian decor into it, make sure you enjoy the hunt for the perfect pieces.<br />

A Salvager's Guide to Repairing and Restoring Stained Glass</h1>
<h3>
A Salvager's Guide to Repairing and Restoring Stained Glass</h3>
<h6>
Whether you are a thrift store junkie, or you've inherited an old home with stained glass, you're going to want to know how to go about restoring stained glass to it's original glory, and this guide will go over the basics of restoring stained glass.</h6>
<h4>
You're at an estate sale and you notice two beautifully crafted stained glass window panes.</h4>
You're mesmerized. The rich <a href="http://stainedglass.org/history-of-stained-glass/">history of stained glass</a> is alluring for all salvagers and you are no exception.<br />
When you get them home and start inspecting them you realize they need some work.<br />
Restoring stained glass isn't something you know much about, so what do you do?<br />
We're here to help you figure that out!<br />
<h2>
What to Look For</h2>
Stained Glass pieces are made from cut pieces of glass, lead or zinc cames (metal that holds the glass), a putty compound to secure the glass to the metal, and support bars to keep the glass from sagging.<br />
Before deciding to restore or repair stained glass, always evaluate its condition.<br />
If the glass rattles while you glide your hand over it, the putty needs replaced. This is an easy DIY project.<br />
Check the cames to make sure they are wired to the support and in good condition. If you notice a bulge, broken glass, or frame/structure issues take it to a professional.<br />
<h2>
Assembling A Stained Glass Repair Kit</h2>
Replacing the putty is the easiest part of restoring stained glass for any owner.<br />
You can go to almost any hardware store to get your materials:<br />
<ul>
<li>glazing putty</li>
<li>linseed oil</li>
<li>liquid lamp black</li>
<li>precision knife</li>
<li>large paint brush</li>
<li>old rag</li>
<li>steel wool</li>
</ul>
The amount of putty materials depends on the size of the project you are doing.<br />
<h2>
Restoring Stained Glass</h2>
After laying out the panes on a flat surface and creating the new putty mix, it's time to get started.<br />
<strong>1. Remove the old putty</strong><br />
Using the precision knife, clean out the old putty and brush it away.<br />
<strong>2. Brush on the putty mixture</strong><br />
Putty should be the consistency of molasses, stiff but spreadable. Brush it over the entire surface.<br />
Push the brush into grooves of the cames. Using a wooden stick, gently press the putty into the edges.<br />
Let it dry for 15-20 minutes.<br />
<strong>3. Clean away the excess putty</strong><br />
Once 15-20 minutes has gone by wipe away the excess with a rag going from the middle and pushing towards the edges.<br />
Once the excess is gone let it dry for a couple more hours.<br />
Finish cleaning with steel wool and wipe away with soft water.<br />
<strong>4. Repeat on the other side</strong><br />
Repeat this process on the other side of the panel for more stabilization.<br />
<h2>
How to Clean Stained Glass</h2>
Once a piece is restored or repaired keep up with proper cleaning.<br />
<ul>
<li>Start with only soft or deionized water</li>
<li>Use non-ionic detergent or soaps</li>
<li>Never use household cleaners</li>
</ul>
Unpainted glass may yellow or have a film-- acetone, mineral spirits or isopropyl alcohol will work best. Always clean with soap and rinse with water after.<br />
<a href="https://www.howtocleanthings.com/how-to-clean-stained-glass/">Cleaning painted glass</a> requires more care-- especially if the paint is chipping-- using cotton swabs is best. Only ever use soap and water.<br />

<h4>
Stained glass windows are among some of the most beautiful man-made items to look upon. The level of craftsmanship and the amount of time and effort that goes into making them only add to the grandeur.</h4>

However, you know that not all glass is created equal, and that some hold more value than others - even to the point of being famous.<br />
Where are these famously stained glass windows, you ask? We wanted to know, too - and put together a small list of some of the world's most famous stained windows ever created.<br />
<h2>
The Most Well-known Stained Glass Windows Ever Created</h2>
Here are just a few of the most marvelous stained windows in existence today. Check out the list and see what you think.<br />
<h3>
Sainte-Chapelle</h3>
The <a href="http://www.sainte-chapelle.fr/en/">Saint-Chapelle of Paris</a> has some of the finest and longest standing examples of stained glass done right.<br />
Labeled "The jewel of the Rayonnant Gothic period", the Sainte-Chapelle was built in the 13th century under the rule of King Louis IX. It was initially intended to house valuables and precious relics but became a relic itself in its design.<br />
It holds a collection of 15 windows measuring almost 50 feet high. Each of the windows depicts a scene from the Bible in bright, gem-like colors and an impressive attention to detail.<br />
<h3>
The Skylight at the Palau de la Musica Catalana</h3>
<a href="https://www.barcelona-tourist-guide.com/en/music/palau-de-la-musica.html">The Skylight</a> is located in Barcelona, Spain, and is truly a unique work of art and a rare example of telling a story through staining and shape.<br />
It was originally intended to represent the sun and the sky (hence the name) and they did this not only through the staining but also through sculpting, creating a bulbous three-dimensional masterpiece.<br />
The stains themselves depict an array of colors, starting from blue at the very top of the ceiling and flowing down into a yellow-red hue as they reach the tip of the bulb. The<br />
<h3>
King's College Chapel</h3>
There are few places where you will find such a beautiful selection of narrative windows as you would at King's College Chapel.<br />
This chapel was erected during the 15th and 16th centuries at the University of Cambridge's King's College, and boasts many marvels such as numerous sculptures and a painting by Baroque master <a href="https://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/artists/peter-paul-rubens">Peter Paul Rubens</a>.<br />
However, the narrative windows steal the limelight. Some of the panes depict scenes from the Gospels, while others depict scenes of royalty. All scenes are delivered in vibrant colors for the word to enjoy.<br />
