How Your Basement Windows Can Be Made More Attractive with Stained Glass
One of the most common things that homeowners with basements run into is what to do with their basement window wells. Window wells are one of the most challenging parts of decorating a basement. They usually showcase nothing but a brick wall or slab of cement and can sometimes take away from the overall appearance of your basement. If this sounds like your situation, you may want to consider adding stained glass to the basement windows of your Colorado Springs home.
Why basement stained glass for your Colorado Springs home?
Stained glass can help make your window wells look more aesthetically pleasing without blocking out the much needed light that they provide. Many people try to use traditional window coverings to conceal the unattractive features of their basement windows, but the problem with blinds and curtains is that they block out the sun. But with stained glass, you don’t have to worry about a lack of sunlight.
Stained glass is unique because it has the ability to conceal views without blocking out the sun. The view behind the stained glass is concealed by either colors, textures, or bevels, but light is still able to transmit freely through the window. In other words, it’s a much superior alternative to window coverings, especially in an area that requires an abundance of light, like an underground basement.
Other Benefits of Stained Glass
Not only is stained glass practical, but it can also be quite beneficial in terms of aesthetics. Many professional decorators and interior designers use stained glass as a focal point for their designs. It creates an elegant, high end look without being too over the top or gaudy.
And there are many different stained glass colors and styles out there to choose from. So chances are, whatever the architectural layout or appearance of your Colorado Springs home, there’s probably a basement stained glass window out there that you would enjoy. And if you don’t like any of the popular styles, you could always opt for a custom design.
