When most people think of stained glass they likely immediately associated it with churches–and they wouldn’t be amiss. Probably the next most popular applications in the mind of the general public are the victorian or craftsman era of design. In fact, many people who own a home built in one of those periods have antique stained glass somewhere in their house already. This is because during those eras designers like Frank Lloyd Wright made the connection between home decor and stained glass and happily the “new” tradition continues in decor today. At Scottish Stained Glass we are happy to carry on the work of a design genius such as Frank Lloyd Wright and others who so heavily influenced the stained glass we see on homes today.
Frank Lloyd Wright Inspired Transom Window By Scottish Stained Glass
While stained glass is without a doubt a stunning work of art is often called a “practical art”, as it’s an extremely versatile medium and can be customized to suit nearly any design style or taste. In the modern era we live in, it can be used in almost any room in the in a house (bathroom, kitchen, living room, entryway) and used functionally as a room divider or fireplace screen. It is a true workhorse, functioning as both art and as a practical solution for privacy issues.
Some additional reasons why you might consider installing stained glass:
• Stained glass is a beautiful privacy option– especially useful for spaces like bathrooms or bedrooms.
• Stained glass can block an unattractive view like a vacant lot or a close neighbor

The average person may not have heard of Greene and Greene but almost everyone has seen their work. The Greene brothers had an unmistakable style that often referenced nature and seemed to speak to people’s sense of unity with nature. This natural theme was one that was expressed frequently and beautifully in their furnishings and home accents. Their work is easy to pick out and even easier to match to almost any home from modern to craftsman and something worth considering for stained glass in your home.
As we mentioned, Greene and Greene’s style has a remarkably distinct appearance. They often focused on nature and incorporated such subjects as flowers, trees, and vines into their work. They have a distinct Asain influence in their work, which can be attributed to their time spent in California as master craftsmen. One gorgeous feature they were prone to using was copper foil, which created a wonderful iridescent effect on their work. It also happens to be one we mimic using tastefully iridescent stained glass pieces in our stained glass windows.
Greene and Greene’s stained glass is a very popular request we get from our customers everywhere in the country, and it is not surprising or daunting to us in the least. We are able to create Greene and Greene’s style stained glass using warm copper and sage colors and by using captivating natural theme designs. These windows will stand out in any room, are great conversation starters and should be considered as centerpieces for your interior design. The great part about Greene and Greene style stained glass windows is they fit so well into any room in your house: kitchens, bathrooms, and entryways alike.

At Scottish Stained glass, works of art, stained glass or otherwise, are what inspire us day to day. Take for instance a historical gem hidden deep in one of our largest market cities: Kansas City. Lying low amid a bustling single family home neighborhood is an unassuming but spectacular church building on the corner of 46th street and Main. While the beauty and individuality of the church are evident upon first glance, the very famous architect of this unassuming chapel may not be. When in fact, The Community Christian Church building, in the heart of the Kansas suburbs, was designed by no other than Frank Lloyd Wright himself. The congregation of the church has been around since the 1890’s, but after the destruction of their building by fire, in 1939, the design and construction of this new church building, under the direction of Frank Lloyd Wright, went underway in 1940. His mission “to build the church of the future”, was realized in 1942.
The hallmark design style of the Frank Lloyd Wright is still very evident today. A geometric interior roof paneling and a stylized hallway gate whisper of Frank’s touch.
While the geometric exterior and bold auditorium seats speak more loudly in the distinct design voice of the great American architect.
Although there is no stained glass on the original structure, one can find a lovely piece of Frank Lloyd style stained glass sitting unpretentiously on the square add-on building protruding from the Hexagon section. These windows, although not designed by Wright himself, do justice to his exquisite style. With so much history by such a famous designer, this quiet church will be forever an icon for Frank Lloyd Wright admirers worldwide and a must visit for any true fan of his work.
As stained glass artists, it’s treasures like, a community church with stunning details tucked away in an unassuming neighborhood, that keep us motivated. We work hard on our customer’s stained glass, large or small to make them beautiful for the sake of beauty–much like the master himself. We emulate the Frank Lloyd Wright style and have a deep appreciation for simple beauty, as did he. If you are looking for a stained glass window and like the Frank Lloyd Wright style, contact us today. We will do a free consultation and get you on your way to having a little piece of classic beauty in your home or church.
At Scottish Stained Glass, we work hard to ensure that our stained glass is created to the highest level of perfection possible. Over the years, we’ve fine tuned our techniques and developed a very specific and thorough method for designing stained glass. That’s why we use a computer aided process to design all of our panels. We believe that this helps to eliminate the chance of mistakes or defects in the design and the window itself, ultimately resulting in a superior product.

Those who came to the “New World” brought with them traditions, styles, and ideas from around the world, creating a wonderful collage of ideas and aesthetics. Stained glass is one of those elements of style we inherited from across the pond. Stained glass windows grace the structure of many churches in the United States; some even stand out as the world’s finest. The stained glass in the chapels of the U.S. bear more of a resemblance to the windows we see in old world Europe, but true to the spirit of the ingenuity of American people, these windows are in a blended style all our own. Take for instance the Windows of the Chapel of Thanksgiving, Dallas, Texas. The abstract pattern of glass panes is similar in style to those in South America, while the rising spiral is reminiscent or Moorish architecture. These two seemingly opposite styles blend beautiful and are only further elevated by the use of strongly European colors.

We see a much more traditional chapel stained glass on The Temple Emanu-El in New York City. On the glass itself, we see patterns and styles that mirror ancient Jewish Synagogue art, housed in arches that are familiarly Roman Cathedral-like. This Temple elegantly reflects the face of the City of New York itself, a beautiful city painted bright by diversity.
Stained glass is as much a part of the fabric of America as the diversity of people. While stained glass may mean different things to different religions and people, they are treasures to all and as such must be cherished and preserved. These truths are something Scottish Stained Glass takes to heart. Since we work in stained glass restoration, stained glass construction, and stained glass repair, we understand the value of these precious relics.

Many of our Park City stained glass customers like to celebrate nature with their stained glass designs. We offer stunning floral stained glass in a variety of styles, featuring floral designs that the customer chooses. Flowers have always been traditional in stained glass, spanning the centuries and the different styles that have arisen over them. Flowers can be in an antique style, the style of Charles Rennie Mackintosh (an iconic Scottish stained glass architect and designer who created the famous Glasgow Rose design), the style of Greene and Greene, or any other modern type of flower design.
For homes in Park City, bathroom stained glass is an elegantly beautiful idea that also has a big practical benefit: privacy. If your Park City bathroom has regular glass windows, you might wish for a bit more privacy while still allowing the beautiful Utah sunshine to filter through to light up the space.
With custom Park City bathroom stained glass, you can add value and beauty to the bathroom along with that much needed privacy.
Our custom designs are created by working one on one with each of our customers. We send one of our local area designers right to each customer’s home, to start the custom design process. During this initial consultation, clients have the opportunity to discuss ideas, look at photos and samples, see sketches of what their stained glass ideas will look like, and create the perfect design.
Stained glass can truly light up Park City Utah homes’ entryways, giving them privacy, elegance, and uniqueness. In many Park City developments, the homes exteriors, including their entryways, are very similar. Décor lovers are always looking for ways to add more curb appeal and distinguish their homes from the rest, adding their own personal stamp.
With custom stained glass designs, Park City entryways can become as distinctive and gorgeous as their owners desire. When it comes to entryway stained glass, it is usually the sidelights on one or both sides of the front door that are done in stained glass, as well as the transom window above the front door (if any) and sometimes even the front door itself. With stained glass in the front door, more light can come through into the home or office’s foyer, hallway, or entryway, an area that is frequently rather dark.
Stained glass sidelights have always been one of the most popular residential stained glass applications in our twenty years in business. After all, everyone has a front door to their home, an entryway that they want to make a great first impression. And many homes have sidelights, those narrow non-functional windows on either side of the door.
When we first mention leaded glass windows to our clients as a suggestion during a design consultation, many of them have puzzled looks. “Lead?” they ask. “How is that different from regular stained glass?”
Art Nouveau is one of those old fashioned styles that somehow never really goes out of style. It’s fluid, lovely, and evocative of a time gone by, and yet somehow still manages to work beautifully in a modern home. With Art Nouveau stained glass, you can bring a touch of this style into your home’s entryway, kitchen, bathroom, basement, or any other room of your home.
Art Deco is a style that rose to popularity in the nineteen twenties, and is still quite popular today. It spread its stylized wings into furniture, architecture, painting, and all the decorative arts including stained glass. Two of the most famous Art Deco buildings are New York City’s Chrysler Building and iconic Empire State Building. Art Deco has many fans to this day, and Art Deco stained glass is one of the ways these Deco lovers can bring this striking and unique style into their homes or offices.
