A finished look
When we mention basement stained glass, Salt Lake City residents frequently raise their eyebrows. They have never considered putting stained glass in the basement. “Why there,” they ask us. We’ll tell you why!
Have you recently had your basement refinished? Or are you in the process of having it finished now? You might be putting in a family room, an entertainment room with a bar, a new office or bedroom, perhaps even turning a large portion of your basement into a mother in law apartment. If so, then you might be bemoaning the fact that no matter what you do to the basement, no matter how fantastic it looks, mot matter how many fantastic furnishings you put into it, there is one part that never looks quite right.
Yes, we are talking about the well windows, those tiny windows that open up to nothing but the dirt or a metal window well or the stem end of a shrub. They are ugly. The view they show you is ugly. They can really mar the entire look of the basement. But what can be done, aside from covering them with teeny tiny curtains (which also look kind of ridiculous, you have to admit)?
Basement stained glass, Salt Lake City stained glass lovers are discovering, is the perfect solution. It blocks the view but lets in the light. And looks great. Basement stained glass gives your basement that perfect finishing touch that pulls the look together.
Maybe you don’t have any well windows in your basement. But there are other places where stained glass would look great as well. With basement stained glass, Salt Lake City basements can have a brand new lighting solution. Does your basement have those flat plastic panels in the ceiling for lighting? What about swapping them out for some stained glass panels, for the ultimate in style?
Did you put a bar in your basement, for entertaining purposes? What about a stained glass backdrop behind the bar? Or do you have a door out to your patio or back yard? How about a stained glass insert in that door? With basement stained glass, Salt Lake City homeowners can take their basements to a whole new level. If the rest of your home is lovely and elegant and filled with well-loved artwork, why should the basement be any different?
