Bring mosaic art into your home with a backsplash. A backsplash is a great place to add mosaic art into your home. You can go anywhere from subtle colors and designs that tie together the other elements of your kitchen to a bold artwork that stands out as a centerpiece to your home. – Dyanne Williams, Dyanne Williams Mosaics
Vibrant colors make your home stand out. Stained glass comes in most every shade of color and the hues can be quite vibrant. Adding a mosaic mirror with a bright vivid glass color will add an air of brightness to the entire room. An added bonus is that while it’s functional, it will also be a show-stopping conversation piece. – Jessica Charles, Mosaic Artist Live In Mosaics Etsy Shop

Replace curtains with hanging stained glass. One of the best ways to add privacy to a powder room window while keeping the room looking bright and neat is to replace the curtains with a hanging stained glass panel. We’ve made custom hanging panels with designs ranging from peaceful lily pond imagery to geometric patterns that match the nearby tile designs. This is a great way to add color and light to a space without expensive window modifications, and you can take the stained glass with you when you move on to the next house. – Cooper O’Neil, Owner at Cooper O’Neil Stained Glass LLC
Stained glass can create views. Stained glass in the home can serve many practical and aesthetic functions. If there is no view or an unpleasant view, it can hide it or create a faux view. Clear, beveled and textured glass can refract and change a view to abstract art. Privacy needs can be met with glass as well. – Karen Deets, Karen Deets Stained Glass
Add art glass to your cabinet doors to give your kitchen a truly custom and unique appearance for a fraction of the overall cost. You can pick a number of different designs to complement other elements in your kitchen such as backsplash or tile. Art glass will also give you an opportunity to either showcase your cabinet contents or hide it, so you don’t have to worry about keeping it tidy all the time, if you pick obscure glass. When you’re in the process of a kitchen remodel or you’re building a new kitchen, make sure to ask your designer or the cabinet company to order your cabinet doors prepped for glass so the new art glass panels can fit right in. – Alex Mitroff, Casa Loma Art Glass
Glass mosaics have endless possibilities. For a unique glass mosaic kitchen backsplash, consider an insert that can be removed if you relocate and want to take it with you. With a glass mosaic you can create a spectacular mural garden scene for your shower walls. Or, a beautiful undersea world that flows around your kitchen walls… Or an outdoor pool or concrete wall that could use a bit of color… The possibilities are endless. – Showcase Mosaics
Show off your unique style by having custom stained glass windows made to match your dream view. Add privacy to bathroom windows and curb appeal to sidelights while keeping the sun shining through making your art glass glow to enjoy for many years. Stained glass is also great for adding some sparkle to cabinet door inserts or framed hanging panels as beautiful additions for the inside of your home. – Penny Kachuck, Owner of Glass and Mirror Shoppe
Stained glass brings the wow factor. I’ve put stained glass in my home for color, to block light and the best is the wow factor. It’s fun when someone walks into my house and sees my work the response is always “wow”. Stained glass adds so much beauty to a home. – Stained Glass Peace
Enhance your home with stained glass solar tube covers, update existing glass with cabinet door inserts or entry door sidelights, and any sunny window is a perfect place for a free hanging suncatcher to make a room pop. Choose fused glass drawer pulls and knobs to update and coordinate with fused glass tiles for a unique backsplash. You can use fused or stained glass to create an entire theme wall of nature inspired or whimsical designs in any shape you can imagine. – Michelle Copeland, Thistle Glass
Capture light in many new, elegant, and exciting ways with your own, one of a kind panel, cabinet door or window.
