CURTAIN INSPIRATION - A source book of pictures and ideas

Ref: CIMD
Rebecca Day and Catherine Merrick have been making curtains at their Lincolnshire workrooms for over ten years, for both private clients and interior designers. They realised their very practical experience of curtain-making could be of invaluable help to others, and have published a number of authoritative books on curtains and how to make them.

This highly visual photographic book Curtain Inspiration draws on the great range of curtain work they have done. At once lush and stimulating, no reader could fail to be inspired by this book.

Curtain Inspiration divides into four clear sections:
Room Settings/Window Types/Curtain Styles/Blinds and Shutters

Subjects range from drawing rooms, kitchens and hallways, to bed-hangings, playrooms, even shower curtains. They are all magnificently photographed by Mike Beard and none of these shots will have been seen before. Every picture is accompanied by crisp, informative captions, to explain to readers the detail within. Then there are valuable tip-boxes strung throughout the book, which give solutions to the questions which commonly arise in curtain-making - what fullness of fabric to employ when using muslins or sheers; how to accommodate the rising tread of a stair, for instance.

There is something for everyone in this book, whether your style is country-house, urban chic or simple cottage.
