This decorating book is a combination: a reference book covering the whole spectrum of window treatments from classical swags and tails to minimalist breaths of muslin; a showcase for the work of the world's foremost interior designers and a compendium of practical information and advice from top curtain and blind makers. The book is broken into nine main chapters, each a master class on a separate area of curtain style and featuring the skills of 30 internationally famous designers such as Nicky Haslam, Lars Bollander and companies such as Colefax & Fowler. The final section of the book is a directory of styles of curtain, accessories, fabrics and blinds as well as a list of outlets where the essential can be purchased.
