Stained Glass in your hallway can add light to a dark place

Stained Glass in your hallway can add light to a dark place

Do you have a hallway that rests by an exterior wall? For many Austin homes, hallways are long, narrow, dark areas that are difficult to light or make aesthetically appealing. If you do have one of these kinds of hallways, anywhere in your home, you already know how dark these areas can be.

By installing stained glass windows in these hallway areas, you can let natural light in without compromising your privacy. This is a solution that most people never think of, one that can add value to your home along with more light, more beauty, and more style. If, for instance, the wall of your hallway faces a neighbor’s home, and it’s a bit too close for comfort, you might not want a plain old window there. That would simply create another problem, of how to curtain off that window, completely defeating the purpose.

Stained glass hallways, Austin residents are discovering, provide the perfect solution. Now, of course, we don’t mean an entire stained glass hallway. (Although that would be beyond spectacular! And if that is your vision, we would be the last people to discourage it.) We are talking about adding a window or two or three to that wall, and having stained glass panels in the window instead of plain old, boring, clear glass. Imagine how that would transform your hallway? Imagine adding that much new light and new “chic” to your home. Are you wondering why you never thought of it before?

This is not just a great idea for dark entryway halls, it can work on any hall in your home that runs along an exterior wall, even one on the second floor. Do you imagine frosted leaded glass, or a bold and colorful pattern that will inject a much needed jolt of life and color into formerly drab and boring hallways?

If you need a jolt of inspiration for stained glass hallway windows, Austin, take a look at our stained glass photo galleries. You’ll see stained glass windows of every size, every color, every description. Any of these windows might just be the perfect thing to take your sorry dark interior hallway from drab to fab.

Homes feel much more spacious and open when the light can circulate, so this would be another added benefit of an Austin stained glass hallway. Your square footage would be exactly the same, yet the space would feel bigger, more open, lighter, brighter, more welcoming. Are we overstating the case? We don’t think so.
