Kansas City has long had a reputation of being a beautiful city. The streets of our town are lined with some of the most beautiful homes and architectural structures in the world. So it’s no surprise that a fast growing trend has arrived quickly to our region and is already being taken up by architects and interior designers in the area. More and more Kansas City homes are being built with stained glass windows. And at Kansas City Stained Glass, we couldn’t be more excited about this new trend.

What’s the buzz with stained glass?

You may be wondering, why has stained glass all of a sudden become so popular? Well, the simple answer is that it hasn’t. Actually, it’s been incorporated into all different types of building structures and homes for centuries. In fact, back in the times of Ancient Rome, having stained glass in your home was a sign that your family came from wealth or royalty.

But the reason that we’re now seeing it in so many contemporary homes is that the art has evolved greatly. While mosaic colored glass and painted glass used to be the most common styles, now clear stained and leaded glass has become more popular. Clear stained glass offers homeowners versatility and it actually has a very functional purpose in residential architecture.

For example, one of the most common reasons that people install stained glass in their home is because it provides privacy. Because of it’s texture, stained glass is harder to see through than ordinary windows. It offers an alternative to creating privacy in your home without blocking out the natural light.

Another benefit of having stained glass is aesthetics. Stained glass can be used to enhance the appearance of fixtures or areas in your home such as cabinets, window wells, and doors that would otherwise be boring and uninteresting. And it looks stunning in all different styles of architecture. Really, it’s a great way to add personality and style to your living space.
