Basement stained glass windows can improve the view.

Basement stained glass windows can improve the view.

Basement windows normally have views that are less than desirable, causing your basement
to look more like a construction zone. You might have a lovely view of the bottom of a parking lot, the wheels of cars, the roots of bushes, or just the metal wheel well that is supposed to keep water from getting into your basement. Not very pretty or appealing. Most people’s solution is to put curtains over those little basement windows to block the ugly views. But that blocks what little natural light manages to filter through and turns your basement into a cave.

Adding stained glass windows in your basement can improve the overall look of your basement and bring unity to your existing decor. Stained glass can give you something beautiful to look at, enhancing your décor, while blocking the not so desirable views permanently. And continuing to let the light shine through those windows because as we all know, natural light in any amount is very important.

If you’ve spent any time or money creating nice rooms in the basement, whether more bedrooms, family or entertainment rooms, or office space, you probably have lovely furnishings, floorings, everything done just so. Don’t ruin the effect with ugly windows. You might have thought there was nothing you could do about them; it’s a basement, after all, isn’t it? But adding stained glass windows will unify the look by bringing even the basement windows up to the level of the rest of your furnishings. In fact, stained glass is such a lovely and unique art form, it will take those windows and your entire basement to the next level of style entirely.
