The Window Fashion Encyclopedia – 2000 Ideas!

12 Jan

While I’m at it – another reading tips! The Encyclopedia of Window Fashions. 2000 Decorating Ideas for Windows, Bedding and Accessories by Charles T. Randall. Having this book in my possession, I need no more cry for curtain-inspiration. It has everything. And I mean everything: it’s an encyclopedia.

The book contains historical window treatments (from the Renaissance onwards), current styles, creative solutions for especially challenging windows, cost saving styles to designer treatments, glossary of window decorating terms, yardarge charts, fullness charts, an absolutely fab and extensive visual index etc, etc…Everything you need to know about window treatments, and more! A glimpse from the treasure chest:

    Thanks for commenting!

    Agree totally - curtains/window treatments are the blind spot of Swedish homes. Pre-sewn panels lengths of linen is the #1 seller...

    In our new flat, all windows need 3 m curtain length so we need to mobilize a large quantity of imagination, buy fabric and sew. We'll see where it gets =)

    Sweden is probably the world's most boring country in terms of window treatments. All equal, and equally boring - mostly panel lengths and linen, or plaid in the kitchen =) I had no idea that there was a whole encyclopedia on curtains. Cool! Thanks for the tip!!
