Product Description
Book Description
A beautifully illustrated book filled with designs of curtains - from classic period styles to modern contemporary - also featuring blinds, cushions, table coverings and other home accessories. The aim of this book is to show, in clear, simple line sketches, hundreds of ideas for curtains, drapes and other window treatments. This book is an inspiration to designers around the world and many of them comment that they would be 'lost without it!'. The designs can be coloured to suit the individual clients' colour schemes or used on a sample board when presenting a scheme to a potential client. SKetchbooks are updated every few years by author Wendy Baker, so that they are always in line with any new trends.

Mainly Classic Designs,
By Noorana T. "noorana" (Abu Dhabi) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Curtain Sketchbook (Paperback)
This book will not teach you how to sew curtains but it will give you loads of ideas for your window treatment.However, it is only ideal for those looking for classical designs since no modern styles are shown.It also lacks new creative designs, I always felt that each design is familiar to me.

Great source of ideas for elaborate window treatments,
By
This review is from: Curtain Sketchbook (Paperback)
The book contains line drawings of styles for all the various elements of a window treatment as well as ideas for dealing with different kinds of windows. The book decomposes window treatments into pelmets, valences, etc., etc., etc., with pages of line drawings of styles for each element. Then, it pulls the various elements together into a total look.I was leant this book, but I found it so helpful I bought my own. It has drawbacks. If you want something simple and/or you plan to make them yourself, this probably isn't the book for you. There are no instructions or measurements of any kind, just the drawings. But if you're working with a decorator who knows a professional, or are a decorator yourself, then this book will help your imagination run wild.
