If you have a drawing skill, then with the help of gouache you can decorate the windows with a bright or, on the contrary, very delicate pattern. For example, it may be Santa Claus, looking through the windows, a fairytale forest or bullfinches on snow-covered branches. True, gouache is better to use not in its pure form, but mixed with toothpaste or tooth powder. Here are a couple of tips on painting the window with gouache:

  • To get delicate colors and halftones, toothpaste is best mixed not with gouache, but with watercolor.
  • If you have planned a complex pattern, it is best to use a stencil or template (the template is best glued to the back of the glass).
  • To erase the picture from the window, first go over it with a dry cloth or a non-rigid scraper - this will remove the top layer of paint and speed up the washing of the glass.

    An interesting article, beautiful ideas, but I would not decorate the windows; But if you decorate the window sill or hang the decorations from the bottom of the window, then nothing will interfere. But decorating an apartment is a great idea! I usually hang Christmas decorations, balls, look the most on New Year's!
