While it may seem straightforward, where you place your stained-glass window hanging does make a difference. For instance, you can put your hanging either inside or outside of your window. If you want an exterior decoration, select a durable design or place your hanging underneath a covered area. Antique stained-glass window hangings may be more delicate and are best kept inside.
The direction that your window faces will affect the way the glass catches the light. East-facing windows will shine in the morning while west-facing windows will glow in the last light of the day. Depending on whether you’re in the northern or southern hemisphere, either the north or south window will get more light throughout the day.
To maximize the beauty of your stained-glass hanging, place it in the center of the window that gets the most sunlight. Hang a sun-shaped glass in the east window to capture the morning sun and an abstract window hanging on the west side for a different show with every sunset.
