So, you’ve been living in a conventional-looking home for several years and are now looking to spice up the interiors of the house a bit. Many people shun this idea completely, despite the strong urge to do so, in fear of the thought that it would lead to a big hole in your pocket. This does not have to be the case. There are quite a few ways in which you could change only the windows of your home, which would in turn give the entire house a very different look, and all for a relatively low cost.

There are several arts and crafts pattern ideas that you would be able to look through to find the pattern or design that you like best. This design can then be used on stained glass, which you can then have fixed on windows in any part of your home. This will most definitely uplift the spirits of those who live with you as well as add some oomph to your house as you would typically choose bright colours which would look wonderful when light shines through the glass!

By using a combination of different arts and crafts for your windows, you would further accentuate the stained glass and brightening up the interiors of your home.

So, you have decided to have stained glass designs fitted onto your door panels. This is a great choice! Who wants to use the same old boring plain glass panels that have been around for ages? This decision is a step in the right direction. It could however go all wrong if the right design and correct type of glass aren’t chosen. As each home is unique, the same type of glass or patterns may not necessarily suit all homes. Similar, every owner such as you, would have different tastes. Keeping this in mind, you would need to choose the best stained glass designs not just for your home, but also for the door panels.

There are several such designs and patterns around. When you start looking, you would find that you are inundated with designs with objects, floral designs and various other designs to choose from. The best stained glass designs would be what would suit your home. For this, you would need to consider factors such as the interior décor of your house and of course the cost of the stained glass. If the design is at a price you cannot afford, it is not necessarily the best for you!

Whether you have just purchased a house or are looking to refurbish the one you live in, several decisions will need to be made. Most of the time you would need to decide based on how much you can afford to spend on the repairs needed. Even if you are not refurbishing the house and certain fixtures need repairing, you wonder whether it would be better for you to replace it altogether. This would be the case even with doorframes; to buy a new one or restore the old?

While restoring an old doorframe would mean you are saving costs, you need to think about how long it would last, that is, the durability of the doorframe. If it is going to keep giving you trouble requiring restoring every few months, it may be cheaper for you to install a new doorframe rather than having to incur costs for each restoration. Since it is likely to be fixed on to the framing of the door, you do not have to keep removing and fixing something new while restoring as it could affect the door as well as any stained glass that you have fixed.

As most doorframe repairs come about as a result of warped wood, you may want to consider whether the rot or warping is terrible to the extent that a new doorframe is absolutely required. You would be able to tell easily by simply looking at it.

Special techniques are used when manufacturing leadlight commercially. These techniques ensure that care and careful consideration is given to every minor detail of the designs. Special tools and equipment are also used, which is not the case when it comes to DIY. If you are not an expert or an artist who has experience in this field, you would not be able to bring out the best colours and combine different textures and types of glass with the perfect finishing touch.

Moreover, there are several things that could go wrong during the process, resulting in you having simply wasted your time to no avail.

Once you’ve fixed your stained glass windows at home, as with any other type of glass, it could easily get cracked again. If you have kids at home there is a high probability that it will happen quite a few times. The question would then arise as to whether you can really afford to pay huge amounts of money each time you need to get a repair done. It is a common case for people to choose to simply ‘fake a repair’ of their stained glass windows. While this may be a great way of cutting costs, it does also have its disadvantages.

A fake repair of a stained glass is usually done by using some kind of material that would cover the crack and then hold the glass together. Usually the materials used are foil and copper, however there are several other ways of doing it today. The aim is basically to come up with an illusion to cover the crack.

So what are these cons that we are talking about? There’s no way it would go unnoticed! Regardless of how great a job you get done on the fake repair, it will look different than it first was, especially if it is a big crack. Another disadvantage may be that it is highly likely that the particular sheet of glass will come apart again. It may be better to choose which cracks to repair and which ones need a full replacement based on the type and quality of the stained glass.
