Misson Style Stained Glass

Mission Style Stained Glass Windows Provide a Stunning Complement to Any Home

Mission style can refer to furniture, architecture, or stained glass. In furniture it means clean lines and simplicity. In architecture, it is based on the Spanish Missions that sprung up all over California at the end of the 19th century. There were various other stained glass master craftsman around during that period who also developed distinctive styles that fall into the same “Mission style” category.

Of course, if you have a Mission style home, this type of stained glass is a natural fit. But it’s clean lines and modern appeal make it a great choice for many other styles of architecture as well.

The hallmarks of Mission style stained glass are clean, geometric shapes, natural earth tones or jewel tones, and a large proportion of clear, uncolored glass. Although the overall appearance is clean, sharp and simple, a closer look will show the intricacy of the designs and the perfect balance of the patterns involved.

It is believed that this simple style’s popularity was a reaction to the ornate styles that had been popular in Victorian times. However, it is equally possible that the simple yet intricate patterns are endlessly fascinating, and really lend a unique touch to a home that a discerning eye never tires of.
