Stained/coloured glass interior window

    My upstairs landing is pretty dark during the day so i was planning to cut an opening from the bathroom wall and install a window to let some light into the landing area.

    The wall itself is 4" block so the opening will be easy enough but i want to make the window a feature of some sort so was thinking stained or coloured glass.

    Has anybody any recommendations to source a reasonably cheap panel in the Dublin area?

    Churchtown Glass based near Nutgrove Centre. Lovely guy (for an obsessive David Bowie fan). He made and fit some sash window panels for me. An internal window would be much easier.

    A window in a bathroom wall? Won't privacy be an issue?

    What about a light tube from the attic?

    The window will be opaque but also unless you're standing on the first landing you shouldn't be able to see in..And I live alone ðŸ˜

    A light tunnel isn't really practical as the attic is floored and carpeted.

    We have opaque glass blocks in a couple of areas.7 or 8 inches square,and maybe 3 or 4 inches thick so easy enough to build a panel of them.They are/were available in B&Q,Woodies etc,and come tinted in a few different colours.

    Picture for you.Hope it works-first time trying to add one.
    Can't really see much through them,and for privacy the coloured ones would probably be even better.
    Edit..Oops..sorry-file too large apparently.Don't know how to rectify that.
