Ideal for homes with traditional features, leaded glass adds a strong pattern to your windows. Designs can vary, with Georgian and Elizabethan Lead being popular choices.
Georgian Lead features square or rectangular patterns, mimicking traditional decorative window bars found on timber windows. Elizabethan Lead, on the other hand, boasts a more intricate diamond lattice pattern. These charming designs can be added to uPVC, wooden, and aluminium frames.
Reason to choose: Perfectly adds classic charm to your home or preserves the authentic look of period properties
Balancing practicality and style, obscure glass is a popular choice for rooms that need more privacy. Ideal for bathrooms, shower rooms and spaces near passers-by, obscure glass is available in a range of textured and etched designs. From discreet frosted glass styles, which diffuse light, to more decorative etched glass designs that become captivating focal points in any room, there are options to match every taste. The range of different frosted glass patterns available for a bathroom is often overlooked when looking at window decoration ideas.
Reason to choose: The best type of decorative window for bathrooms. Obscure glass is great for rooms that need privacy without losing light.
Gone are the days when jewelled glass was reserved for church windows. Now, you can infuse your home with a subtle hint of colour and timeless elegance. Choose from a range of designs including traditional ornate patterns to contemporary art-deco-inspired shapes. Our exclusive range of jewelled glass, known as Fusion, offers so many possibilities for double and triple-glazed windows.
Bevelled glass is a good alternative option. It’s where intricate geometric shapes are meticulously cut into a thick outer glass pane. These bevels refract light, creating a rainbow of colours in an effect unmatched by any other decorative window design.
Reason to choose: Embrace a beautiful decorative window style that adds a pop of colour to your home, with contemporary and traditional choices.

The final touch to any double-glazed window is the handle, and a vast range are available to suit every type of home. Modern, minimal, rustic or traditional, whatever your preferred style, there should be an option to provide you with the perfect handle for your new double-glazed window.
If you'd like to make a statement, opt for a more decorative handle, such as a monkey-tail handle. Metallic chrome and brass handles add a modern, sleek update to your window, while rustic, ornate designs provide a luxurious touch.

Choosing the right window colour is one of the biggest considerations when looking at window decoration ideas. From sleek and contemporary greys and whites to the natural warmth of traditional wood finishes, the right window colour can transform your space. Let your creativity shine as you explore the endless possibilities of customising your windows with the ideal colour palette.
A beautiful window deserves the perfect frame, both inside and out. This involves selecting the right curtains or blinds that not only complement the style of your windows but also reflect your personal taste. Whether your aesthetic leans towards modern or traditional, it's crucial to consider the practical aspects alongside the visual appeal. For instance, heavier window dressings can provide insulation for north-facing rooms, while lighter options can prevent overheating in sun-soaked south-facing spaces. It’s important to balance style with functionality when it comes to window dressing.
When it comes to embellishing your home and making it yours, choosing a window style is just the beginning. The possibilities are endless when it comes to using decorations to elevate the style of your windows and add character to any room. Imagine curling up with a good book in a charming window seat or creating a serene nook by the window, complete with a comfortable armchair and an elegant lamp. Embrace the art of window decoration and let your imagination run wild.
Vibrant plants and seasonal flowers can also bring a space to life and change the feel of a room. Consider installing a window box outside to cultivate a small, year-round growing space that brings joy throughout the seasons.
