Stained glass has existed for over a millennium. This is a form of coloured glass that is arranged to create a picture or pattern. Traditionally, lead strips would hold the pieces in place. There is evidence to suggest that British monasteries and churches were using the glass in windows since the 7th century. It then became popular in homes in the Edwardian and Victorian eras.
The Victorian period
One of the hallmarks of this era is people would use their home decor to show their status. Stained glass became popular here in part due to the gothic revival. The mosaic stained glass revival helmed by Augustus Pugin produced a unique Victorian style. It is possible to find the colourful glass today on the windows and doors on numerous properties from the period.
The interesting thing about stained windows in homes is they favour designs like flowers or birds. On the other hand the ones in religious buildings tend to celebrate figures. There is a lot more freedom and choice in homes. As a result the designs can really grab attention.
The front door
Stained glass has also proven to be a popular choice for front doors. It is the same for the surrounding fanlights. This is thanks to their attractive aesthetic. At the same time though the colour can provide more privacy than clear panes. Just like the windows, the most popular design choice here is typically of flowers or birds. It could also be some sort of pattern.
