Mission Style Stained Glass, Austin Homes—Perfectly Suited for Each Other
Here at Stained Glass Austin, it’s become our mission to educated clients about the beauty and elegance of Mission style stained glass. Although this particular style is almost always associated with Frank Lloyd Wright, there were several designers during this same time period that incorporated this same style.
The Mission style, (which you might also have heard of as the American Craftsman or Prairie style) first became popular in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. It incorporates architecture, furniture, and of course, stained glass art. Mission style stained glass is known for its simple clean lines with a few bright or earth toned colors. It makes a classy, classic, and understated window treatment that can add elegance and high-end designer wow factor to any room in your home.
Take a look at some stained glass windows that Stained Glass Austin has created for customers in the Mission style here. Notice the geometric designs, the bright jewel tones, the elegant simplicity of the designs. They also incorporate a lot of clear glass in the designs, but if you are looking to use a stained glass window to add privacy while letting the light shine through, you might consider using frosted clear glass.
If you’re now jonesing for even more photographic inspiration, we bet this Pinterest page will make your head spin with ideas for your own Mission style stained glass. Lamps, freestanding panels, hanging panels, windows and doors—when it comes to Mission style stained glass, your imagination is the only limit.
Mission style is versatile, and it can be as dramatic or understated as you prefer. It looks stunning in older homes, especially homes dating back to the Mission period. But it also works phenomenally well in modern homes, with their sharper lines and larger expanses of window. In fact, these designs are so elegant and versatile, we cannot imagine any homes where they would not work. But it’s all a matter of taste. How about:
Mission stained glass in a bay window? Beautiful.
Mission stained glass in your kitchen cabinet doors? Striking.
Mission stained glass in your entryway sidelights or transom? Practical and impressive.
Mission stained glass in your bathroom? A clever privacy solution that’s also gorgeous.
