Stained glass is more versatile than you might think, and the visual effect it has on living spaces is incomparable. Take advantage of natural light and let stained glass windows produce luminous color and create an ethereal feel. Here are some of our favorite design ideas for incorporating these artful architectural features.

A stained glass window serves as a lustrous work of art over a tub while also providing privacy in this gorgeous traditional-style master bathroom. Notice how the greenery of the natural landscape also becomes a part of the effect.

A gothic-arched casement window is paired with an adjacent small stained glass window in this stunning European-style Kitchen. The design takes two of the most prominent architectural features of 12th century gothic cathedrals to create a contemporary Victorian-eclectic design that is uniquely sophisticated.

This traditional stairway is defined by a large, custom stained glass window. Reminiscent of mid-century modern and art deco design, the stained glass window design features subtle color accents for an elegant and understated finish.

Stained glass windows turn this wine cellar into a true work of art. A space that might otherwise be monotonous and lacking personality and style is instantly turned around by stained glass windows featuring a vibrant one-of-a-kind eclectic design.

Transom stained glass windows add calming cool colors and a whimsical bubble pattern adds a fun element to this bathroom design featuring a luxurious soaking tub with marble surround.

A minimalist kitchen is enhanced by a striking modern stained glass window design. The white walls allow the colors of the stained glass to really pop while the lines and curves of the stained glass design highlight the dramatic architecture.

Our team here at TMS Architects incorporated a stained glass window to light the hallway of this oceanfront home with sunlight and character. The natural light reveals the intricate detail of the stained glass design as it glistens with color as its filtered and fanned throughout the hallway.
