Choosing curtains for your home can be a daunting task. What shape or style will suit your space? Which fabrics will create the look you're after? And, if you are making them yourself, where do you begin?
This book is the solution for the modern homeowner, offering plenty of inspiration plus step by step projects to tempt rather than terrify. Soft furnishings expert Lucinda Ganderton and style writer Ali Watkinson present a fresh and modern approach to window treatments.
Gone are the days of heavily runched designs using acres of fabric. Today's curtains and blinds will make the most of your windows, showing off rather than hiding their elegant proportions, and maximising available light. The new designs use far less fabric too, which means that you can afford to spend more on beautiful materials.
Throughout the book, stunning and inspirational images are accompanied by practical advice to guide you through choosing a style to suit the proportions of your room and windows, selecting fabrics and patterns, and all the practicalities of different headings and finishings.
Step by step projects are included for creating your own window treatments from scratch and for customising ready made curtains. So, whether you are after a quick and easy way to hang a panel of beautiful sheer fabric in the living room, or a fresh and funky solution for unfussy curtains in a child's room, this book has simple yet stylish solutions that are guaranteed to inspire.
