Stained Glass Transforms. What do you think of when you hear the words ‘stained glass’? Most people immediately envision old churches and cathedrals with colourful windows and domes depicting scenes from the Bible. Many people may not consider incorporating stained glass into their own home’s interior design scheme.

Stained glass is a beautiful and unique way to add color to your home, especially through eye-catching windows and doors. You can set your home apart from the rest while adding beauty, creating privacy and allowing plenty of light to fill your rooms.

When choosing windows and doors for a room, there are only so many designs to choose from when dealing with clear, plain glass. The design of the doors may vary, but essentially they all look the same. Stained glass allows you so much more creativity!

Beautiful Additions. Imagine incorporating a nature scene in your entrance door or using varying shades of a solid color to accent the interior of a room with your French doors. Really, the possibilities are as limitless as the imagination! OR DESIGN glassworks will take your idea and turn your dreams into reality.

Glass artists Oded and Pamela specialize in creating masterpieces of original design and they ensure that their stunning, one of a kind architectural glass artwork is properly installed, taking the artwork from concept to installation.

Savvy and discriminating homeowners and corporations turn to Oded and Pamela to bring to life nature scenes, cityscapes and abstract color creations, working with themes, textures, colours and motifs to create artwork that is a pleasure to look at, distinctive, and timeless.

Privacy Included. Stained glass windows and doors are also functional because of the privacy that they provide. This same benefit applies to stained glass used within the home. Imagine replacing your bland, white bathroom door with a beautiful nature scene. Your bathroom is immediately transformed while still providing the privacy that you require. Bathroom windows are tricky to decorate. Do you put in clear windows and use window dressing for privacy, or install boring frosted glass to obstruct viewing into your bathroom? Stained glass affords you the privacy of frosted glass combined with the beauty of a window dressing… and it’s art!

Light Up the Room. Filling any room with natural light is a desirable goal throughout your home. The benefit of using stained glass is that it allows as much or as little light to pass through it as you want, based on the shades, texture, and opacity of the colors used. So when beautifying your room with this medium, you won’t be sacrificing sunlight for beauty. Using custom designed stained glass windows and doors adds a whole other dimension to planning the design of any room in your home. You have the freedom to add color and art while maintaining privacy and filling your home with light.

OR DESIGN glassworks takes what was an old form of art used in cathedrals and modernizes it to transform any room of your home.
