How Stained Glass Can Add Value to Your Dallas Home

Posted September 14th, 2016 by Martin Faith

Often when people choose to sell their home, they remodel certain aspects of it before putting it on the market. This is because custom and modern fixtures can help increase the resale value of a property and, in turn, make buying a new home an easier, more financially comfortable process. Adding a new stained glass installation to your Dallas home can drastically enhance its curb appeal and give it a more competitive edge on the housing market.

Impress Potential Buyers with Custom Stained Glass for Your Dallas Home

While new appliances are certainly a good idea if you’re planning on selling your home, they’re also pretty standard and are already expected by most buyers. What will really make your home stand out and impress potential buyers is a custom designed, hand-crafted installation. Stained glass is a perfect option for your Dallas home because it can:

  • Increase the appraisal value of your home
  • Make your home more attractive to potential buyers
  • Enhance your existing architectural design
  • Provide a higher level of privacy for increased comfort
  • Create a look of elegance and refined taste

Things to Consider for Your Stained Glass Design

Before you decide on a specific style or appearance for your stained glass, you may want to consider a few things such as:
1. How long do you plan to stay in your home? If you plan on settling down for several years in your home, it’s perfectly appropriate to create a design that appeals specifically to you. However, if you plan on selling your home, you may want to opt for a more modern, generic style of stained glass.
2. Do you plan on redesigning your home in the future? Sometimes people like to install colored stained glass to match the interior design of their home. But if you think you may change things around in a few years, you may want to consider installing a clear stained glass window instead.
3. What level of privacy are you hoping to achieve? If a high level of privacy is important to you, then you may want to opt for a textured stained glass installation. Textured glass can significantly reduce how well outsiders can see into your home. Or, if you really like the look of clear glass, adding a bevel cluster to your fixture may create the elegant appearance you desire.

Whether you have a particular look in mind for your stained glass or would like some advice for your design, we can provide you with the services you need.

5 Great Prairie Stained Glass Applications for Your Kansas City Home

Posted September 6th, 2016 by Martin Faith

Due to its connection with several homes built in the area by the famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright, prairie style stained glass is extremely popular in Kansas City homes. The artistic appearance of prairie stained glass is appealing to those seeking to add a bit of modern or contemporary flare to their home. Its incredibly unique design often features symmetrical patterns, geometric shapes, and bright, warm colors. When placed in exactly the right spot, it has the ability to selectively allow sunlight to enter the room and can highlight specific architectural features of your home.

Prairie style stained glass makes a beautiful addition to any home and can serve as a captivating focal point for your guests. When your visitors enter your home, they will instantly be drawn to its vivid colors and sophisticated design. For this reason, the designers at Scottish Stained Glass thoroughly enjoy creating custom prairie style stained glass artwork that is elegant and unique. And because we love the style so much, we’ve put together this list of our five favorite prairie stained glass applications for Kansas City homes.

1. Prairie Stained Glass for Private Entryways


Your entryway is the first impression that guests have of your home. Installing a unique prairie stained glass piece in your door or sidelights can create a gorgeous design for your front room or foyer and provide you with a bit of privacy from the outside world.

2. Prairie Stained Glass for Kitchens and Cabinets


Due to long-established traditions, many people tend to spend a large amount of time with their family and guests in their kitchen. If you enjoy throwing parties or entertaining, prairie style stained glass can give your kitchen the extra touch of liveliness and color it needs to make it the perfect place for hosting special events.

3. Prairie Stained Glass in Bathroom Windows


Because many appliances are often white or stainless steel, bathrooms are typically one of the rooms in a house that can benefit from a bit of added color. Prairie style stained glass offers the perfect solution for adding elegance and color to bathrooms while protecting your privacy.

4. Decorative Hallway Prairie Stained Glass


Decorating a hallway or stairway can sometimes be a tricky task and may create a desire for variation from the typical arrangement of picture frames and paintings. Adding prairie stained glass in these areas can be a fun and creative way to enhance the interior design of your home.

5. Transom Prairie Stained Glass


Stained glass transoms are a beautiful way to let natural light enter your home and also add height and depth to your rooms. We just love the way that prairie stained glass allows the sunlight to brighten up a room.

Park City Entryway & Sidelight Stained Glass

Posted August 1st, 2016 by Martin Faith

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.

Beautiful sidelight stained glass

Posted February 8th, 2016 by Martin Faith

Stained glass sidelights are one of our favorite and most popular commissions. We’ll tell you why. In our twenty years of experience, we have never seen any other home improvement that makes such a huge and gorgeous change to a home’s entryway as stained glass. Of course, if we do custom stained glass for your sidelights on either side of your front door, you know we are going to suggest adding a stained glass panel or two right into the front door itself. That’s because sidelights are placed in an entryway to add light into what might be a rather dark part of a home. And with the inserts in the door, even more light can be added, along with a regal and elegant look.
