Design Ideas for Windows (Design Ideas Series)

By Dorinda Beaumont

Design Ideas for Windows offers hundreds of ways for dressing a window with hard (blinds and shutters) and soft (curtains, draperies, valances, and fabric shades) treatments. All types of windows are featured in the book, including standard shapes and sizes, as well as special "architectural" windows and odd shapes. Fabric types and recommendations, as well as trimmings, are thoroughly addressed. In addition, the book provides important information regarding hardware (including many examples of the latest decorative rods, finials, sconces, and hold backs) and installation. More topics include: measuring, maintenance and care, and solutions for problem windows.

Customer Reviews

Lots of unique and fresh ideas

Great book with lots and lots of window treatment styles. I have never seen a book with such a wide variety of styles and examples - something for everyone. You will definitely not be seeing the same style drapery over and over again. Each page is fill with a fresh idea.

Window Designs

This book is very beautiful. A thick book filled with glossy high-quality photographs of a very wide range of decorating styles and architectures. As the title suggests, the emphasis is on windows, but also the way window styling integrates with room decor is heavily emphasized as well. Another thing strongly covered is the use of drapes and blinds, as well as general decorating accents (throw pillows,ect.)and color schemes. An excellent book for decorating ideas generally, too.
