18 Stained-Glass Windows to Show Your True Colours
Gaze upon the glory of these bright, bold, often intricate stained-glass windows, bringing colour and light into homes
Having a stained-glass window is a sure-fire way to add a touch of romance to any room. Stained glass as a medium has a rich history, spanning thousands of years and traditionally being used in churches, mosques and other significant buildings, often depicting narratives. These beautiful windows are now used in modern homes to add character and a focal point to a room, as well as bringing in colour and light. Stained-glass windows may be abstract or figurative works of art, or may simply feature colourful individual panels. Either way, they make a statement that is gentle and striking, inviting us to look a little closer.
