A common misconception about remodeling to increase home value is that one must stick with neutral shades throughout the house. That is not necessarily true, but if you wish to be conservative with color, you can still safely add some panache with a few stained glass murals or windows in otherwise neutral areas. Consider a church-inspired window in the master bath, or perhaps a modest, glass tile mosaic mural in a kitchen backsplash.

The advantage of stained glass murals or windows - besides the obvious beauty of these works - is that the many pieces that go into them allow for a great deal of flexibility and experimentation. Even if you reconsider elements of a pattern that has already been started, you can substitute or replace pieces. But, in order for the work to go smoothly as you install glass tile for kitchens or bathrooms, consider playing around with your materials first:

• Identify an area - a counter edge or backsplash - where glass tile for kitchens might work best.
• Buy tiles in several different colors and styles to see how they'll look in the room.
• Experiment with various arrangements of the pieces.
• If necessary, label the backs so you'll remember the order you liked (especially with mosaics).

The worst case scenario is you finish the job and don't particularly like the results. Even then, a tiling pro can advise you on the best way to remove part or all of the tiling and replace it with another arrangement. As long as you work in small areas at a time, the loss of pieces should be minimal at best.

Getting creative with tiles may seem overwhelming for a beginner, but there are plenty of samples and helpful hints available to get you started at Pacilantic.com.
