 The New Curtain Book : Master Classes with Today's Top DesignersFrom classic swags to minimalist breaths of muslin, window coverings are no longer simply a way to keep out the sun; they're the subtle accent that can make or break the decor of a room. THE NEW CURTAIN BOOK is an innovative decorating guide filled with practical information and technical advice from the top curtain and blind makers. In what is part reference book, part showcase, Hoppen has consulted with the world's foremost interior designers. In exclusive interviews, they discuss their inspirations, the origin of their ideas, how and why they choose fabrics, and what they see as future trends. Lush full-color photographs--400 in all--taken by Fritz von der Schulenberg highlight each designer's work, creating a master portfolio of window-covering style. THE NEW CURTAIN BOOK integrates stunning inspiration, in a range of styles from Grand Baroque to elegant contemporary, with invaluable advice from design experts to make this a truly helpful guide.

Comments: Wonderful
This book gave me such wonderful inspiration for redoing my window treatments. So many different styles are covered that I had a hard time deciding which was my favorite, but I love feeling like I got advice from a variety of designers. If you aren't sure what kind of curtains or blinds will go with your room, get this book!

Comments: Misleading Title?
I was disappointed in this book. The title suggests that it is a how-to book and I was expecting "lessons" in curtain making. This is not at all what this book is about.

Comments: Pretty, and pretty useless
Ok, I admit it--the pictures are pretty. If you want to look at pretty pictures then go to Barnes & Noble (free) and look at some decorating books. If you want useable information, look elsewhere. If you like spending money on pretty books that you will never use--eureka, you have found it!!
