Product 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.

 Valuable resource July 8, 2008
This is a valuable resource for any designer or person that sews. I have used sketches from the book for many projects. It provides a wonderful reference for clients to look through as well in order to get a sense of their style.
 Great Resource for Ideas October 11, 2007
This book of only sketches is a great resource to jumpstart the creative process. I believe it is intentionally black and white so as not to distract with color and pattern. There are a wealth of ideas categorized so that you can mix and match within a particular category. It is a good inspiration piece from which you can proceed to either commission or design and create your own personal window treatment.
Mainly Classic Designs June 17, 2003

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 April 20, 2003
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
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.
