Stencilling on Windows - Design Inspiration. Planet Stencil Library.

One solution is to use a stencil. There are several suitable products that allow stencilling onto glass, some of them are permanent and others are not. Here are two photos demonstrating how effective stencilling onto a window can be. Both show the same stencil, OTT20 (from our Ottoman range). This photograph is from an issue of Victoria magazine (no longer published) and uses the border stencil over three-quarters of the window as if it were a lace panel pulled partially down.

Here is another photo of a window stencilled with the same stencil, but in a different configuration. Another tip for stencilling windows is to clean them with some vinegar and water first which will remove any trace of residue, grease or dirt enabling your product to adhere as well as possible to the glass (even the non-permanent ones).
