Amazon.com Review:
Extensive, large, and exquisitely photographed, this handsome volume lives up to its promise of 'carv[ing] a clear path through the endless possibilities presented by a naked window.' Taking into account all sorts of window styles and room types, design journalist Clifton-Mogg explores many approaches to window treatments (as well as related applications, such as room dividers, wall hangings, and bed draperies), explaining how to choose curtains, shades, blinds, shutters, and valances to complement almost any type of decor. From dark velvet opulence to sheer white simplicity, there are ideas galore. Before you hire a professional to clothe your windows, or even if you have the skills to execute the construction yourself, find your visual inspiration here first. --Amy Handy

I absolutely LOVE this book. I hardly ever read the text in decorating books--preferring to absorb the pictures and captions--but I actually read this one and learned a lot about the topic. Now I open up this book, look at a few pages, and then feel inspired to go and try my own take on some of the ideas shown. It gets me going for a weekend filled with projects!! One of the best decorating books I've bought (and, guiltily, I've got quite a stash.)

This book is great for anyone searching for ideas for a clean modern sophisticated interior. The design concepts are tailored for the transitional to contemporary home. It is not a resource for curtain construction.

I thought the book had some really great ideas for window dressing but as an amateur trying to achieve the looks on offer, felt the instructions on making could be made easier. I had to find another book with easier intructions and follow the two books in order to make my curtains!

This book is not for someone who truly wants a resource book for making curtains. There's not a lot to this book, just some 70's style window treatments, no real substance. It's pretty to look at, once, then sit on the coffee table.

There are many well-done photographs of rooms and windows, but not enough detail and instruction for a Design resource.
