Décor ideas for room dividers with stained glass

Stained glass has always been appreciated for its beauty and utility. The art of stained glass has been used to beautify cathedrals and buildings since medieval times. However, things have changed and stained glass windows and doors now adorn homes. Stained glass has emerged as a decorative art and is being extensively used in interior decoration. Besides flat panels, three dimensional stained glass sculptures are also being made. The popularity of stained glass art can be judged from the fact that room dividers with stained glass are now being used to decorate houses. Supported by a wooden or a metal frame, these multi panel folding room dividers serve different purposes such as providing privacy, partitioning spaces, or can simply be an accent piece to beautify your room.

There are several ways in which room dividers with stained glass  can be used to decorate the rooms. For instance, in some homes the front doors open into the living rooms. To create an entrance, you can place a stained glass room divider, which not only fulfills its basic purpose of partitioning the living room from the front door but also creates a beautiful and impressive entrance. Similarly, you can create an awesome wall that separates the dining area from the kitchen using room dividers with stained glass. Stained glass does not totally block light and provides the required privacy without giving a claustrophobic feel to the room. Room dividers with stained glass can also be used as a beautiful backdrop in your living room.

If you live in a single room apartment, then a stained glass room divider is an absolute necessity and an aesthetically pleasing way to divide the room. You can also use it as a screen to hide the clutter. Room dividers with stained glass come in various designs: traditional and contemporary, bold and soft. In some stained glass room dividers, bright and bold colors in geometric or abstract designs are combined with the elegance of glass to produce a unique room divider with stained glass. This type of glass room divider looks great in a house with modern décor. Stain glass with floral design and soft colors is more suitable for traditional homes; however, the choice of colors largely depends upon the color scheme of the house. Another way to decorate the room with stained glass room dividers is to place the divider in front of the fireplace or any lighting source; the light from behind sets off the beautiful colors of the stained glass and makes them come alive.

Some apprehensions that people have regarding stained glass are that it is not durable and that it bows and lags with time; however, with modern technology, you do not need to worry about these problems anymore. You can either buy room dividers with stained glass or get them custom made. These room dividers are a fine specimen of craftsmanship with colors and designs beautifully blended. You can also buy stained glass windowpanes from auctions and get them converted to room dividers.
