In this article, we’ll explore tips and inspiration for decorating with stained glass, including combination ideas and not-so-obvious placements.
Tip 1: Choose The Right Window For Your Suncatcher!
It's no secret that windows are the perfect canvas for stained glass decor. Playing light through colored glass can create stunning visual effects, adding a dynamic element to your space. So to achieve the best effect follow those steps:
- Select a window that receives ample natural light. South-facing windows are ideal as they allow sunlight to illuminate the vibrant colors of the stained glass throughout the day.
- Hang your stained glass panel at eye level to maximize its visual impact. If the window is large, consider placing multiple suncatchers for a cohesive look.

Tip 2: Get Creative With It
In case you didn't know our pieces can be hung in various places, and not just windows. In order not to limit yourself to one window do the following:
- Consider placing them in front of mirrors, above doorways, or on porch ceilings to catch the light.
- Grouping for Effect: Hanging multiple suncatchers together can create a more dramatic visual effect. Mix and match different designs from our collections for one-of-a-kind combinations.
- Seasonal Rotation. Change your suncatchers with the seasons. Use Halloween designs in the fall and switch to angels for a wintery feel, and fruits in summer, keeping your decor fresh and engaging throughout the year.

Tip 3: Tabletops Are Not Limited By Tables!
Stained glass tabletops are a sophisticated addition to any flat surface. These pieces come with a wooden stand, making them easy to place on tables, shelves, or countertops. Keep this in mind while decorating:
- Use stained glass tabletops as centerpieces on bookshelves, counters, or windowsills.
- Layer your Decor: Pair your stained glass tabletop with complementary items such as vases, candles, or books. This layered approach adds depth and interest to your overall interior or exterior decor.

Tip 4: Highlight 2024's Color Trends
The color palette for 2024 features a lively mix of jewel tones, earthy greens, and vivid hues. Stained glass is uniquely suited to these trends, offering a way to incorporate these colors dynamically into your home. Here's how to keep up with a trend:
- Choose Jewel Tones: Select stained glass pieces in rich jewel tones like emerald, sapphire, and ruby. These colors can add depth and drama to your decor, particularly in spaces like dining rooms and home offices.
- Incorporate Earthy Greens: Our floral collection features beautiful green tones that can bring a touch of nature indoors. Use these pieces to complement your plants and other natural elements in your home.
- Play with Light: Position stained glass where it can catch natural light, allowing the colors to shift and change throughout the day. This creates a dynamic visual experience that keeps your decor interesting and lively.

Tip 5: Focus on Custom and Sustainable Designs
The trend toward custom, one-of-a-kind pieces is growing, as is the emphasis on sustainability in home decor. Stained glass fits beautifully into both of these trends, offering unique, personalized pieces that can also be environmentally friendly.
- Consider Ordering Custom Pieces: Consider commissioning custom stained glass panels that reflect your style or tell a story unique to your home. This not only enhances your space but also supports artisanal craftsmanship.
- Buy From Sustainable Artists: This eco-friendly option helps reduce waste and aligns with the growing trend toward sustainable living.
- Blend Old and New: Combine traditional stained glass techniques with modern design features. For example, an old stained glass window can be integrated into a contemporary home renovation, adding depth and character while preserving history.
