Then, thousands of years later, contemporary artists like Frank Lloyd Wright demonstrated stained glass can also be used in homes. Stained glass windows are a great solution for homeowners to make their homes unique. Here are a few of our favorite stained glass window ideas to give you some inspiration.

Next, this is a stunning mosaic style that is actually an artistic representation of all the Pantone colors used throughout this particular home.
Understated Art Deco
Bright primary hues in windows add just the right touch of color while still allowing light to flood — not to mention they add to some serious curb appeal.
Inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright
Stained glass was given its first, most popular taste of modernity with architect and designer Frank Lloyd Wright’s trademark linear style. This style is marked by a combination of geometric patterns and golden tones.
Stained Glass in the Living Room
This modern geometric print gives privacy while still allowing the light to shine through. The large scale of this design also makes it the natural focal point of the room.
