This guide, featuring curtains and drapes ranging from the fresh and simple to the elaborate and grand, combines ideas with practical advice on how to interpret them for the modern home. Historical treatments can be faithfully reproduced or freely adapted, with equal success. Drawing on her knowledge of interior design, the author gives advice on recreating period styles and guidance on scaling them down for your home. The book explores the curtains and drapes of the last six centuries from the Renaissance through the Baroque, Rococo, Neoclassical, Regency and Empire styles, right up to the 20th-century's art deco and modernism. For each major style the key features are explained and placed in their artistic and architectural context and the complex question of which treatments suit which types of window is tackled.
