Product Description
This innovative decorating book is a unique combination: a reference book that covers the whole spectrum of window treatments from classical swags and tails to minimalist breaths of muslin -The New Curtain Book is the curtain bible for the twenty-first century. Inside, Stephanie Hoppen presents a series of fascinating master-classes about today’s fashionable window treatments, given by more than thirty of the world’s most innovative designers. The designs illustrated and described show the whole panoply of contemporary styles and materials. There are classes in classical, traditional designs, and in modern, simple ones; equal weight is also given to dramatic, smart, romantic and country curtains. The fabrics and materials so creatively used by the designers include everything now possible –from glamorous silk, velvet, taffeta and cashmere, through rural prints, formal stripes, canvas and ticking, to twenty-first century Perspex panels, crystal beads and metallic coile. All tastes are represented here, from the unashamedly rich to the most light and neutral of schemes. Supplementing each master-class are portfolios of examples of the work of many other designers, with an emphasis on their own particular innovations, as well as a wealth of technical advice. Concluding with a directory of styles of curtain, accessories, fabrics and blinds as well as a list of outlets where the essentials can be purchased, The New Curtain Book challenges the boundaries of soft furnishing to provide curtain couture at the cutting edge.

Format:Paperback
The book presents an interesting collection of curtains and different decorative styles in the affluent world of Central London and Manhattan. Rich in information and with a variety of designers it mainly talks about how to make the most of living rooms, bedrooms and entry halls. If the author added bit more information on what to do with kitchens and modern bathrooms, I would have given it another star. Also if the book had also a chapter on budget households it would be perfect. The photos and the quality of the publication is really good.

Fabric Fantasies
8 Aug 2009
Format:Paperback
If you are a textile junkie as so many of us are, then Textile Style is sure to provide a fix. Lots of eye candy photos interspersed with interesting history and uses for various fabrics. The book opens with a gallery of designers and ends with a discussion of soft furnishings of every type. This book belongs in every design library.
Terrific book!

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Full of ideas and facts about collecting and using textiles. Gorgeous photos. However, some ideas are highly impractical, such as laying a folded silk shawl over a chair seat or a sofa. As soon as someone sits on it, it will be wrinkled and in disarray. Some of the ideas are only for show. I would have liked more information on framing and hanging textiles, but over all the book is a worthwhile addition to my library of books on textiles.
Beautiful Fabrics, amazing Book

I recommend this book, the pictures are beautiful, the fabrics gorgeous. If you love the rich textiles, the baroque style, the silk and velvet, you won't be disappointed. This book deserves to be owned.
