Average Customer Ratings:

Now you can come up with design solutions before purchasing fabrics. A “split” format divides both styles and fabrics into segments. A section on embellishments, trimmings, and poles provides the essential finishing touches. “Allows the reader to match up 420 fabric swatches with more than 140 different window treatments.”—Publisher’s Weekly.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

Very helpful -
I found this book very helpful. It helped me see the differences between styles of curtains, and then, by having the pictures of the many, many fabric choices in the directory below the line drawings of the curtains, I was able to see the tremendous impact of the different patterns. For example, I could easily see the difference between "town blues" and "country reds" for any given style. It is a great visualization tool, and could help prevent some expensive mistakes. If I'd had a similar book for upholstery, perhaps I wouldn't have wasted so much money reupholstering that darn green plaid couch! The swatch looked great, but oh my, talk about impact!

Deserves less than a star -
This book was a mega disappointment. Its binding was of inferior quality and didn't provide any 'actual swatches'; just photocopies of fabrics...you can get that from any fabric website for free. Putting a square patterned paper next to a diagram of a window treatment do not work with trying to picture how the actual thing will look. You're better off closing your eyes and visualizing on your own. If you're totally at a loss for ideas, many other curtain books are much better than this waste of paper.
