For large windows. I just placed turquoise glass in one and it didn’t look good. Maybe I need to mix it up with something else or add foliage…any suggestions? Thx
Add: they are 4x4, and I am using light color concrete

try mixing with stylish and/or decorative glass to mix it up
sth like a cross in the middle of the window made of stylish and plain in the rest of space
That would look cool! Or maybe put the darker of the light colors around the edge as a border, then something a bit lighter in the middle?
Here is how I’ve been doing windows recently. I prefer stylish glass and don’t care about opacity much. I also like to trim the windows with wood.
My favorite window color is Stark Tan. It’s got just a bit of tint and really looks good when light hits it
I tend to make a border around the glass, either brick, concrete or wood. Usually chisel them to be as small as possible, and the colour is different than the walls…
Like here:
How big is the window in your pic?
4x4 blocks, I square chiseled most of it away so it appears to be a half block in size, also since it’s at the same level as the outer wall the top half of the block is gone too so it’s like there is a windowsill of sorts
(at least I’m assuming this was a question for me?)
I might come take a peek at this later
You can see it more clearly here:
And at the bottom floor I used a different way, with a bevel chisel all around it…
I also always use outer walls that are 2 blocks thick, so I can chisel half of it in some way that give it more detail and/or allows me to do something nicer with the windows…
(plus I can use a totally different colour on the inside if I want to!)
I’m liking the windows you made… great work!!
PS… may have to borrow that idea sometime
Oh sweet, I’m in the market for some energy efficient windows! sic
Personally I like to use two glass panes back to back but I know some prefer full thickness glass blocks for their better energy efficiency.
