There are a fair few soft furnishing books on the market at the moment and this, by acclaimed interiors author Katrin Cargill, is an attractive, well laid-out book on the theme. Katrin's first book, "The Soft Furnishings Book" was an immediate bestseller and this book, focusing on curtains, looks set to follow suit. Its simplicity, practicality and easy instructions are perfectly complemented by the pretty and innovative design ideas. Covering all tastes - contemporary, classic, country - she includes chic linen panels, ornate braided swags and floral pastel drapes, all beautifully photographed by David Hiscock. How to decide on style, how to measure, how to make and how to hang are clearly explained to ensure the right choice is made for the right situation. At the same time as offering her design suggestions, she gives the reader the opportunity to reinterpret them to their own personal taste making this both an inspirational and instructional guide to the topic of curtain making. - Lucy Watson
