An extensive, up-to-date guide to curtain design, from Renaissance to Victorian. 300 sketches of curtain treatments, ranging from valances, tieback and pole designs.

Shares hundreds of ideas for dressing up windows, in a guide that provides for a variety of types, includes scan-ready sample board sketches, and explains the correct procedures for measuring.

This new sketchbook is not a replacement for the Curtain Sketchbook - it has been designed to run alongside it. Including basic designs of curtains and their variations, the second half also includes designs of beds and bedcoverings, with simple ways to transform your bedroom by perhaps adding a tester, or by painting an existing wooden headboard. Includes ideas for traditional beds as well as contemporary ones. Also included are trimmings, home accessories, blinds, shutters and room dividers - a great source of illustrated inspiration.

Wendy Baker's curtain design book is full of ideas and, combined with fabrics and easy-to-follow sewing instructions, it makes curtain making a piece of cake.

When refurnishing a room the end result can often be spoiled by adding the wrong accessories - so many mistakes are made at this stage... either because there are too many or too few accessories - getting the balance just right is not as easy as it seems. So, in this sketchbook, we show some room sets with and without accessories - and explain how to group your accessories so as to make more of a statement. We hope you enjoy some of the ideas and that they prove helpful when placing your accessories - when you manage to create a certain cosiness to a family room or the right kindf elegance to a formal living room by adding the right accessory, then you are well on your way to a perfect room setting. Cushions, screens, table linen, kitchen clutter, chairs, lighting, pictures, mirrors, rugs, flowers, collectables, outdoor accessories.

This compact sketchbook displays every style of blinds imaginable, from rollers to Romans and from London to Austrian blinds. Wendy Baker shows how blinds can be a creative alternative to curtains.
