Window Style Blinds, Curtains, Screens, And Shutters

The style options for curtains, sheers, blinds, and screens have never been more exciting. The latest trends rely on choosing interesting fabrics and accessories and using them simply. The look is clean and unfussy, relying on combinations of colors and textures rather than elaborate designs and heavy patterns.

In this practical sourcebook of the latest window treatments, Mary Fox Linton leads you through all the style options for sheers, shades, simple unlined and lined curtains, blinds of all varieties, and combinations of these. In addition, for those who want a more architectural look, there are innovative ideas for shutters and screens. WINDOW STYLE highlights the key points to consider in choosing window coverings: the importance of scale and proportion, matching the style to the window, choosing the correct weight of fabric, how to hang curtains properly, what to do if a radiator is in the way, when to opt for shutters and screens, and how to take into account the sometimes conflicting desires for privacy and for natural light.

Woven throughout the book are twenty beautiful project ideas. Each one is accompanied by step-by-step instructions, plus suggestions for alternative fabrics and innovative ideas on how to use accessories to dress ideas up and down. Whether you have tall, small, or bay windows, an apartment in a period building or a converted loft space to transform, this book will provide a stimulating and practical guide to contemporary window style.
