Stained glass panels are sure to add class to any home, and are available online to match any color scheme or home dcor. These home accents look beautiful when on your window, and you can find stained glass effects in a wide range of colors and designs that can be used with just about any form of window glazing or door panels. Your friends and neighbors will certainly have something to talk about the next time they visit.

If you like flowers you will find stained glass panels in a wide range of floral designs, including magnolias, orchids, irises and the ever-popular sunflowers. A range of floral panels is hand-painted in transparent colors to allow the light to shine brightly through, and you needn’t even disturb your existing glazing. They come in a range of sizes with metal rings at the top enabling them to be hung over your existing glass.

That way, if they dont work for you where you originally intended, you can remove them and try them elsewhere without the trouble and expense of removing and replacing your regular window glass. Floral stained glass panels are very popular for conservatories and door panels, particularly for kitchen doors where they not only offer the floral design but also allow more light into the kitchen.

The kids will love the range of animal stained glass that is available online. One favorite design has a cat walking straight through a window in a geometric design, and on a bright sunny morning it really looks like the cat is walking in through the window! You can find these online in tabby and black and white cat designs. Again, these hang onto existing windows and look fabulous – your kids will love them attached to their windows, and they are removable in case they eventually decide on a change – as children do as they grow up.

Geometric stained glass panel designs are popular for front doors, or entrances to hallways. They are also used on front lounge windows where they provide a classic stained glass look. Some are in the form of symmetrical modern architectural designs while others are more classical in green and gold with a fleur-de-lis design against square panels.

You will also find a mission style, in white stained glass providing a mix of translucent and frosted glass effects along with areas of transparent white glass. With a zinc frame, this panel is 42 inches high and 10.25 inches wide. This would look fabulous as a center panel in a front entrance door. Other designs are available in smaller sizes, so they can be used on multi-paned windows. You could keep most panes in normal glass, with a selection over-hung with stained glass panels.

Other popular designs feature a range of butterflies, available in sizes from narrow vertical panels to wide horizontal designs. Small or large, you can select which size you want, and because they are framed and hang over existing glass panes, they need not be sized exactly to your window frame since they are not replacing existing glass.

That is one of the major benefits of these home accents. There is no disruption involved in installing them, and they can easily be removed if they don’t seem right and moved somewhere else. If you want to change things around after a while, they are easily replaced with new designs and those they replace can be used elsewhere. For example, you may want to put one of the stained glass panels in your kitchen into your bathroom. They allow the light to shine through, but are opaque enough to maintain privacy.

Some designs are dramatic and other soothing – a humming bird and fuchsia design is particularly beautiful and suitable for bedrooms or a bathroom. You can also use stained glass panels on your internal glass doors if you have any. Some of the paler colors allow almost all the available light to shine through, although you can also get some dramatic internal effects with the darker blues and reds.

Perhaps you run a hotel, wine bar or even a winery. Some of the grape designs available in stained glass look fabulous when hung over an entrance door panel, or over a window that gets a lot of sunlight. The green colors contrasting with the purples and pinks of the grapes look really great, particularly with the background blues and whites representing the sky and clouds. There are many different designs such as that available online that would grace any guest house, hotel or even a bar.

Stained glass panels are a great way to decorate a home and there are designs available to go with any type of home dcor. When you change your home accents you can change your glass panels! No fuss or bother, and no waste. These panels are completely interchangeable, and there is no specialist work needed to install them. You can find a wide range online to match your needs.
