"The Curtain Design Directory" is the must-have handbook for every interior designer and curtain maker.


From the Author

Every year, when it might have been thought that the variety of curtain designs has reached its final limit, yet more styles and finishes manage to evolve. In the course of our work over the years, we have, as it were, test-driven a huge and ever-growing range of designs.
This third edition of 'The Curtain Design Directory' aims to bring up to date fresh and inventive ways of dressing windows, allowing you to benefit from the hard-earned knowledge we've gained in our workroom. Every window really is different, and it is an awareness of that difference which leads to such a multiplicity of possibilities.
We hope you will find inspiration here, whether you wish to reproduce our designs, or use them as a springboard for a greater flight of fancy, or simply draw key elements from them. A window to dress is, after all, an exciting challenge!
Catherine & Rebecca, Redbourne, January 1999 --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not a bad source book, but designs and sketches were basic, 11 Jan 2001
This review is from: The Curtain Design Directory (Hardcover)
Initially I was impressed with this book. Quite a few ideas for different window dressing situations were shown, but the whole thing seems rather amateur. The designs themselves are text book issue with hardly any new ideas - if any the section on difficult window shapes and how to overcome them was useful. I think that the sketches are too "sketchy" and that sharper lines should be used. I also think that this book should, alongside some of the sketches show a photograph of the design made up and in situ. In summary: A great book for D.I.Y. curtain makers if only it would show them how to "make up". A poor book for the curtain maker/designer looking for some inspiration.

5.0 out of 5 stars easy viewing, instant ideas, 31 Mar 2001
This review is from: The Curtain Design Directory (Hardcover)
This book enables you to visualise your window, chose a style, with the pictures being in black on white,you are not distracted on thoughts of colour and fabric, the drawings are clear and the styles varied, once you have chosen a style you can then think about your choice of fabric.

5.0 out of 5 stars A design sourcing, not a "how to make" book, 27 Nov 1999
This review is from: The Curtain Design Directory (Hardcover)
Very good black and white illustrations of curtains, headings, cushions etc to give you hundreds of ideas about which curtains might suit your windows. This book does not contain instructions on how to make the curtains but it does tell you what kind of poles, for example, will work with what kind of curtains or headings. Invaluable for anyone who is unsure about what curtains will suit their room.
