Scottish Stained Glass is a part of the largest stained glass studio in the country, and one
of our most popular applications has always been bathroom stained glass windows. These windows are awesome for natural light, which is why they are so common in homes across the country.
Are you designing a new home, or in the process of building a new home? Would you like some custom designed stained glass? If you answered yes to either of these questions, we can help. We’ve worked with many local builders, architects, contractors, and interior designers to add our art form to theirs, with stunning results every time.
The amount of light is one of the main selling/buying factors in homes today. We all know and appreciate the benefits of natural light; we all want our homes to be light and airy, not dark creepy caves. Believe it or not, if your home does not get enough light in front, one of the most pleasing solutions is the installation of stained glass sidelights.
To many people, stained glass would look good in almost any window of their homes. In fact, many of our clients actually wish they had stained glass in many more windows in their homes. If you are only commissioning one piece of art, one stained glass panel, and you know you are the type of person who likes to mix it up all the time with your décor, artwork, and furnishings, here is an unusual suggestion: hanging stained glass.
Celtic designs have been around since the 8th century B.C. Anyone who is a fan of Celtic designs are familiar with the interlacing patterns and intricate spirals that are characteristic of this ancient yet enduring style. These designs, such as the infinity knots, have deep meaning for the Celtic people, but we wonder if they also strike a chord deep within people from other backgrounds as well.
If you have a vacation home in Colorado, chances are it is probably in the beautiful Rocky Mountains. Many Colorado residents pride themselves on their Rocky Mountain style, decorating in a way that celebrates everything about the mountains. When it comes to stained glass, Coloradans seem to want to carry that mountain motif right into their patterns. It’s for that reason that we created the Scottish Stained Glass signature collection: Aspen stained glass, inspired by the aspen trees of Colorado.
There are many people who are fans of stained glass all around the country. Stained glass is an art form that brings warmth, beauty, and elegance to a home. And those people who are fans of stained glass can usually appreciate the difference between the prefab kind that you buy in a big box store or online, and the kind that is custom made for their windows.
Anyone who has visited the mountains of Aspen knows how beautiful the aspen forests there are, with their straight trunks, whitish bark and those dramatic dark markings across the trunks. And the rounded leaves are beautiful both fluttering in the breeze, and when they turn colors in the fall. Aspens are even striking in winter, without a single leaf. They shout “Colorado mountains.” And they make a stunning inspiration for aspen stained glass.
When most people think of stained glass, they usually think of vibrant, vividly colored glass. This type of stained glass is indeed beautiful with its many colors and textures; it can really add oomph to a room. However, just like anything else, it can have some disadvantages. Colored stained glass can hold back some light and make a room a little darker than you might wish. It can also be an issue if you decide to redecorate, and the colors no longer match what you want to do.
Anyone who is a fan of Art Deco knows how many artists have been influenced by its beauty since it first became popular after the first World War. The famous artist Man Ray is just one of the many who earned a name for themselves doing Art Deco.
Some bedrooms simply don’t have much character and they can end up being very dark and dreary. Some look like small boxes even before you put the furniture in. And some bedrooms have windows that are either small, or simply don’t let in very much daylight because of the way the homes are built. They face the wrong way, they are too close to a neighboring building, or even covered by shrubbery or a large tree.

Have you ever walked into a restaurant and thought to yourself “I know I’ve never been here but this place looks familiar?” If so, you might just be right in thinking so. Many restaurants today look almost identical, particularly the chains, but even many mom and pop, independently owned restaurants today have no particular identity from one to the next.
Stained glass is an art form with a long history, and although the finished product might look the same throughout the centuries, the technology for making it has evolved substantially. It used to be that everything had to be done by hand when designing stained glass projects. Can you imagine cutting all those tiny pieces of glass, assembling them, and hoping the panel came out the exact size to fit into an existing window without a computer pattern? Of course, that is how it was done for centuries, but there were times when the finished window was off by a millimeter or just didn’t fit into the window frame.
Nobody likes to think about making funeral arrangements after their loved one passes on. As the owner of a funeral home, you know this sad fact. But your business serves an important function. We know you want to do everything you can to ease your guests’ suffering, to provide any encouragement or uplifting experience possible. One way to do this is with the décor of your establishment. Of course, your furnishings must indicate good taste and understated elegance.
Not all glass windows are the same. Windows come in all different shapes, sizes, and styles. And the glass that is inside of those window frames comes in many different types as well. Textured glass, colored glass, iridescent or translucent glass, frosted or patterned glass, etched glass, mirrored and beveled glass.
Have you admired stained glass windows for a while? Have you considered stained glass in your
home but decided not to have it installed because of the dark colored glass? You just don’t want those dark colors dampening the entry of sunlight into your home? Or perhaps, you are concerned that the colors will limit your design and redecorating choices, and you will be stuck with those colors forever?
The Mackintosh rose in stained glass is one of the most recognizable art glass features throughout the world today. At Scottish Stained Glass, we have actually created many windows that are inspired by the famous yet simple rose design, modified to fit into home settings across the country.
Do you have bathroom windows that were placed in such a way that your privacy suffers? This is no laughing matter, because the bathroom is the foremost place where privacy is desired. Do your bathroom windows open into the back yard, overlook a patio, or stare right out at your neighbor’s windows?

While residential leaded glass windows are becoming more common, many people still associate this product with church stained glass, and we still commonly build beautiful pieces for places of worship throughout the country. This can be a stunning application of our windows due to the abundance of space, and our ability to create nearly any design through our glass artwork.

The term “stained glass” often conjures up images of ornate, colorful, church windows, but today the options are far more vast. For privacy, you can choose between several colorless, textured glass types that will block vision. These vary from only slightly obscured, all the way to nearly completely obscured vision from the opacity and texture of the glass.
For your privacy stained glass window you can use colors, or simply a combination of our textured glasses to create the perfect balance. Blinds and curtains can block out natural light in your home, but choosing stained glass instead will allow you to keep sunlight in, while keeping peeking eyes out. Since each window we build is custom, you can also choose the perfect leaded design to reflect your personal tastes and styles, and to match your home.
If you want to learn more about the options for adding privacy to your without compromising light or style, give us a call or send an email today. We will set you up with one of our experts to go over your options, and get started on your custom privacy window immediately!
