Stained glass windows are a great way to add beauty and character to a basement window that might otherwise showcase only a concrete window well. Typically, basement windows do not have a pleasant view, but if you have windows in your basement it is important to keep them open and visible. Since there are not many sources of natural light in a basement it is imperative to get as much natural light from them as possible. Stained glass will transform an unfortunate view into a piece of art and still let the natural light in, making it ideal for basement windows.
Basement stained glass is also helpful when it comes to styling a basement bar area and/or game room. Instead of using standard back splash applications, stained glass can be used as a back splash for your bar. A back lit stained glass sign or even hanging panels will make your basement bar feel like an authentic pub. Stained and leaded glass can also be used to create interesting ceiling fixtures. All of these functions will make your basement a more welcoming and comfortable place by bringing elements of color, depth, and value to the space.
Many of the basement windows we create are made of beveled and leaded glass. Clear, textured glass will match with any paint or space. It is timeless, classic, and truly beautiful. However, colored stained glass is a great option when it comes to basement decor. Basements sometimes carry a stigma for being drab and dark, but with stained glass your basement will shed itself from that less than appealing image. Whether it is entirely colored or simply has splashes of color, stained glass will brighten and lighten up your basement.
