Synopsis
Stephanie Hoppen presents a series of master-classes about today's fashionable window treatments, given by more than 30 of the world's most innovative designers. The designs showcase a huge range of contemporary styles and materials. There are classes in classical, traditional designs and in modern, simple ones; and equal weight is given to dramatic, smart, romantic and country curtains. The fabrics and materials include everything now possible - from glamorous silk, velvet, taffeta and cashmere, through rural prints, formal stripes, canvas and ticking, to 21st-century perspex panels, crystal beads and metallic voile. All tastes are represented: unashamedly rich, colourful and exotic interiors alongside the most neutral schemes that let light pour into a room. The text is also packed with expert technical advice on everything from the proportions and architecture of windows to how to decide on a design idea and choose and measure. The book ends with a directory of all the accoutrements of window dressing, from poles and finials, shutter and blind attachments to trimmings and tassels, swags and tails.
