French door stained glass for a custom look.

French door stained glass for a custom look.

French doors are a classic, timeless design option that adds a great deal to the look of a room, as compared to your basic door. Therefore, French doors can be a beautiful way to give your home a new look. If you aren’t familiar with the term, French doors are doors that have a grid of small panes of glass, with molding in between each pane. They are sometimes single doors, but more often they are doubles.

According to the website WiseGeek.com, “These are doors that have multiple small windows — sometimes called “lights” — set into the full length of the door. French doors provide a minimal amount of privacy, so their purpose is primarily decorative in nature. However, they are a popular choice among people who are looking for ways to bring more natural light into their homes.

A divided lite French door is the traditional type. These doors are assembled from multiple pieces of glass. They also have mullions, or decorative structural elements designed to divide adjacent window panes. Traditional doors are typically made from hardwood.”

If you are going to add French doors to your Fort Worth home, or you already have a set, we have a way you can turn them into focal points, real pieces of art that will wow everyone who sees them. To take your doors a step further, you could design some custom stained glass for them. The stained glass along with the French doors will give your home something that nobody else has.

You can add a hit of vibrant colored glass, something that will really make the room pop, or you could go for understated elegance with clear, colorless stained glass designs. If you did add the French doors to let more light flow through your home, the clear and colorless kinds of designs might just be your best bet. They can offer more privacy than the plain panes of glass do, while still letting in the light.

Another great choice for French door stained glass might be our signature Aspen pattern, with the trees stretching up through all the panes of glass on each door.

Your French door stained glass can be any style though, from antique looking to modern and contemporary, from floral to geometric and from Celtic to Prairie style, or anything in between. Each piece of stained glass we make is custom to your order, so you can be assured of having the gorgeous stained glass French doors you are envisioning.

One client had a small loft space with a bedroom off to the side of the main area, divided by a set of French doors. She started with a sheer curtain, to give the bedroom some privacy. After seeing our stained glass, she immediately ordered a colorful design for her doors, one which picked up and complemented the colors of her furnishings. We have to say, the results were a total wow.

Said our client, “I can’t stop staring at my new stained glass. I cannot believe how it has transformed my entire loft!”
