How to Use Stained Glass to Create a Vintage Look for Your Hotel or Restaurant

Add a stained glass sign to your building.

Stained glass has deep roots in European cultures. That’s what makes it perfect for Irish, English, or Scottish style restaurants. Adding a stained glass sign to your storefront or bar area can be a great way to really bring out the theme of your restaurant. For example, if you serve primarily Irish food, you may want to opt for a stained glass panel with four leaf clovers. Or if there’s a particular cuisine you serve that has certain ethnic ties, you may want to opt for a family crest design.
