Are there any other materials that are transparent and could be used in replacement of glass?
PS: Is there any other way to cook glass without sand? ( Near my house I have basically no sand 🙁 )

Leaves are slightly transparent and can be harvested with shears. Unlike "natural" leaves, harvested and replaced leaves will not decay in the absence of logs.
Fences are probably the cheapest alternative, you can stack them as much as you like in recent versions. Nether Brick Fences are harder to obtain, but might go better with your decor :-)
Iron Bars would also work; they function similarly to glass panes.
If you're in a snow biome and patient, Ice would work. Lay down a single layer of water source blocks, expose it to air (vertically), wait for it to freeze and repeat. Be sure not to put torches near it!
That said, I might make a little trip and try to stock up on a ton of sand (4 stacks or so), if you convert it to glass panes you can break and replace them (unlike blocks) so even if you remodel you won't be losing anything.
