The stained glass window can be made in a personal style, a priority for the owner of the house, or in the spirit of some historical era. And if personal style reflects a subjective vision of the plot, form and color for a particular person, then the design for a specific historical era must adhere to certain canons and requirements.

Many decades ago it was believed thatStained glass is in perfect harmony only with the classical style, since the manufacturing technique limited the choice of subject and material. However, times are changing, new technologies for making stained glass have appeared, thanks to which it is possible to create not only consistent and calm scenes of classic stained glass, but also luxuriously fantasy designs in bright colors and unusual shapes. Therefore, modern stained glass can be safely called a universal decorative element that will elegantly complement any interior. Moreover, it can not only be part of it, but also become the leading note of the entire design, which attracts the eye, subordinates other decorative elements to its style and connects individual rooms into a common artistic context.

Modern stained glass amazes us with its diversity. Today you can completely freely find both stained glass windows that imitate ancient Gothic temple windows, and canvases with fashionable abstract designs that open up wide opportunities for the viewer to fly with imagination and imagination. This variety allows you to choose the right theme for any interior style.

Even if you have each room in its own own style, then modern stained glass windows allow you to experiment with style and choose a plot that will tie together the design of the entire house, creating a feeling of integrity of the surroundings. That is, guests moving from room to room will not feel a dissonance of perception, but will be able to appreciate the style of each room, which smoothly flows from one room to another.

When thinking about the style of the interior and stained glass, you should not forget that beautiful stained glass can not only decorate a room with its design, but create a special light-air environment that amazes with the variability and unpredictability of the play of color. Therefore, it is very important to think about the illumination of stained glass, which is unthinkable without light, which will allow you to create unusual and effective color solutions in the interior.

Choosing a style for stained glass

Existing styles have many subtypes, and sometimes it is difficult to clearly classify a design according to its affiliation with one or another artistic movement. However, there are certain characteristics through which you can determine the dominant features of the image. For example, the Gothic style involves the use of cobalt and purple glass, which will fill the room with the mystery of the Middle Ages. At the same time, the main theme of Gothic stained glass windows is religious. This style is usually chosen by lovers of romantic stories about knights and collectors of knightly armor and swords. Other historical styles, such as antique, baroque, renaissance, etc., are no less interesting.

If we talk about the stylistic direction of art, then the requirements for stained glass windows are softer and not as categorical as in stylization for a historical era. For example, the Art Nouveau style, which carries harmony and comfort, is characterized by smooth lines, sophistication and sophistication. That is, the plot can be absolutely anything (as well as color), but there must be spirituality and variability of forms.

Modern stained glass can be undemanding to the interior and harmoniously combine with almost any setting (the only exception may be stylized interiors that do not deviate from the established canons). For example, abstraction, which balances between design and painting. It is based on a charge of emotions, a dance of colors and light. Abstract stained glass will never get boring, never get boring and will always cause an explosion of emotions.

The sunlight pouring through the colorful stained glass window is, you see, a stunning sight. Stained glass windows are associated with pomp and even monumentality, since stained glass windows most often decorate the buildings of museums and churches. Therefore, many people are sure that stained glass windows have no place in the interior of a residential building. In addition, it is generally accepted that stained glass is very expensive and clearly not designed for the average interior.

However, both of these are not entirely true. It's worth saying that stained glass in the interior residential buildings were used back in the 19th century, when the Art Nouveau style came into fashion. As for the cost of stained glass, then modern technologies made it possible to significantly reduce the cost of their production, which, of course, affected the price. Stained glass is not such a luxury these days as one might think. Moreover, there are pseudo-stained glass windows available to everyone.

Types of stained glass depending on manufacturing technique

Transparent pieces of glass, cut according to a pattern, are held together with a metal broach (partition). At the joints the broach is soldered. The result is a single structure made of glass and metal, and the metal not only serves as a frame, but also forms the outline of the lines of the design. This technique has changed little since the Middle Ages.

Stained glass windows made using the Tiffany technique are also called classic. The peculiarity of this technology is that copper foil is used to hold the glass together. The stained glass pattern is lighter, more elegant, and the outline is thinner. The Tiffany technique allows you to use smaller glass, so stained glass windows turn out to be openwork.

The surface of the glass, whole (pseudo-stained glass) or assembled from fragments, is painted with transparent paints.

The surface of the glass is covered with special colored films with an adhesive base.

The stained glass window consists of a group of glasses that have been sandblasted.

This stained glass window usually has a geometric structure. It is assembled from modules of almost identical size, which can be pre-processed using one of the techniques.

This stained glass window is created by baking multi-colored glass fragments or by incorporating foreign elements into the glass (for example, “baking” wire into the glass).

Transparent glass is taken, a pattern is drawn on it, and colored glass fragments are laid out in several layers. The composition is then placed in an oven heated to a certain temperature. In the oven, all layers are sintered and become one.

The basis is the ability of hydrofluoric acid to destroy glass. Using special stencils that protect glass from destruction, craftsmen create deep contours of designs of any complexity.

And that’s not all the techniques for creating modern stained glass! There are other interesting and original techniques. Thus, all stained glass windows are very different, and their prices can vary significantly.

It is interesting that stained glass, originally invented by man to fill window openings, today is increasingly less likely to fulfill its main function. Various decorative elements from stained glass windows in the interior are much more popular. First of all, these are various accessories made using stained glass: for example, boxes, lamp shades, screens, etc.

Becoming increasingly popular doors with stained glass. In general, today it is very common to sell interior doors with a variety of glass inserts. Various glass processing techniques transform ordinary interior doors into a real work of art and an elegant interior decoration.

Stained glass for doors is maximally protected (for example, thanks to the triplex technology), and although they look very fragile, in fact there is no need to worry about their reliability.

Interior doors with stained glass windows create stunning effects associated with the play of light. In addition, they set the tone for the entire interior, making it gloomy on one side and ceremonial on the other.

In those interiors where stained glass windows are used, especially interior ones (whether doors or partitions), a certain mystery reigns. Still, associations with Gothic churches and ancient museums make themselves felt.

Stained glass partitions, stained glass walls and screens in the interior

Stained glass partitions are less common than interior doors with stained glass, but this design technique is also arousing more and more interest.

Like any glass wall, it is light, even airy. This is especially important when the goal is not to isolate one space from another, but only to separate them. Firstly, thanks to the transparency of the partition, the rooms seem to flow into one another. Secondly, the “two-sidedness” of such partitions introduces a common element into both spaces.

Stained glass partitions look great in spacious rooms filled with light - both natural and artificial. Stained glass partitions allow soft colored light to pass through during the day, and in the evening, when the lamps are lit, the partition itself becomes a kind of “lighting device”, pouring light into a darker space.

Beautiful and so unusual pieces of furniture with stained glass. For example, stained glass glass can be a display case for a living room or inserts into facades kitchen furniture. You can and even need to support the stained glass theme with stained glass accessories: lamps, decorative items (for example, vases), a chandelier, etc. Glass doors of sliding wardrobes can also be made stained glass. You can also order mirrored pseudo-stained glass windows for the wardrobe.

Stained glass picture or stained glass panel

These elements do not carry any practical functions, but they become bright interior decoration. Stained glass paintings are suitable for spacious hallways, living rooms, and formal dining rooms. Stained glass paintings and panels, as a rule, are made to order for a specific interior, so they fit perfectly into its theme, making the room festive and elegant.

Stained glass for niches and other complex structures

Various niches and projections are still relevant. However, volumetric wall structures from plasterboard, plywood, etc. have become so widespread that it is difficult to surprise anyone with their design.

The shapes are repeated, but the use of unusual materials allows you to create something extraordinary. Stained glass windows will also help with this. Internal walls The niches can be covered with a stained glass screen behind which there is lighting. A stained glass niche through which light pours can make an impression.

If a niche is mounted to create a false window, stained glass will come in handy here too. But in any case, backlighting is needed - the false window will then sparkle and become the most realistic.

Stained glass in the interior: ceiling

A few centuries ago, stained glass ceiling lamps were popular in Europe, which decorated not only the premises of theaters, museums and expensive restaurants, but also residential buildings. True, only rich people could afford such luxury.

Today this pleasure is also not the cheapest, but quite affordable, especially if we are not talking about Tiffany stained glass windows. There are reliable ceiling structures (frames) that allow you to hold sheets of almost any material on the ceiling: metal, wood, mirrors and, of course, glass.

Film or painted multilayer pseudo-stained glass windows are most often used for production. Essentially, these are just glass suspended ceilings with paintings, but what an effect! Of course, a completely stained-glass ceiling in an apartment will not always fit into the interior, but small ceiling structures with stained-glass windows look very original. Of course, it is very advisable to install lighting between the base ceiling and the suspended structure so that the stained glass window reveals itself in all its glory.

Popular style trends for stained glass design

As mentioned earlier, the design of a stained glass window cannot go against the style of the interior of the room. The stained glass window should be in harmony with the surrounding space. Only then will he fit into big picture and will become an integral part of it.

Stained glass design is characterized by many of the same style directions, which are often used for interior design.

We list the most popular of them:

• Stained glass in the Art Nouveau style is distinguished by smooth lines and a slightly darkened color scheme. The plot, as a rule, is dominated by plant themes, sea waves, and chiseled silhouettes of girls.
• Japanese style is characterized by clear, finished forms and an unusual combination of colors. The subject of such compositions is a fan, sakura, bamboo stems and leaves, hieroglyphs, dragons; landscapes with the participation of the listed elements are also often found.
