Book Description

October 2002
Curtains and shades are a necessary part of every home décor, but with so many possibilities out there, choosing the proper styles or fabrics can be daunting. Soft-furnishings guru Lucinda Ganderton and style writer Ali Watkinson have paired up to provide a fresh approach to guide you through the process, and even instruct you on creating your own. Whether your style is formal, modern, country or classic, you'll find wonderful ideas in Window Treatments.

Window Treatments provides the solutions for the modern homeowner, offering plenty of inspiration plus step-by-step projects to tempt rather that terrify. Ideas include a modern variation on the bead curtain using ribbons and shells; a window panel personalized with applique shapes; a remarkably stylish no-sew curtain made from a sheet; and, using just a few easy-to-follow techniques, a classic hand-pleated linen blind and a roman blind.

Window Treatments has simple yet stylish solutions that are guaranteed to inspire.
