Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher
"The book's timeless styles and innovative uses of fabrics will give amateur and professional designers alike plenty of ideas."  —Library Journal
Library Journal
Hoppen (Perfect Palettes) discusses innovative fabrics in window covering and the trend for more simplified curtains that avoid lining and interlining, creating a clean, fresh, modern look. In more than 300 color photographs she shows professionally crafted window treatments in homes throughout the United States, UK, Europe, and South Africa, with styles ranging from sophisticated to homey. Throughout, Hoppen describes the design process in individual rooms and gives details about the curtains and the suitability of various fabrics. Resources in the United States, UK, Europe, South Africa, and Asia are provided. VERDICT Originally published in the UK in 2009, the book's timeless styles and innovative uses of fabrics will give amateur and professional designers alike plenty of ideas.
