The Design Directory of Window Treatments is not a typical how-to book. It is a comprehensive directory which can be used by trade professionals and consumers alike. It is a professionally illustrated volume detailing the most complete collection of standard and unique, current window treatment components and designs ever assembled. By performing a thorough and exhaustive search of all current Window Covering books, subject oriented consumer magazines, trade publications, trade workroom catalogs, interior design firms, retail portfolios, and trade show presentations, Von Tobel identifies and names more than 350 individual, standard and unique, components that can be mixed and matched to create window treatment designs. All of these elements and designs are beautifully illustrated in color renderings that can be used over and over again to create any custom vision. Black-and-white line drawings of these illustrations and industry charts and forms are included on a companion CD.

You can transform the look of a room just by changing the window treatment. The right draperies can soften a contemporary setting or enhance old-fashioned charm; a well-chosen shade can give an edge to a traditional look or complement an up-to-the-minute decor. You can even disguise a room's faults with treatments that fool the eye-- or you can enhance architectural design with a minimalist treatment. But the right window treatment involves a practical aspect as well. Does sunlight pour through the window, or is the room shaded by trees? Are you vulnerable to prying eyes outside, or do you want to make the most of a stunning view? Is your room spacious, or are you decorating a cozy nook? This book helps you sort through these problems by showing you window treatments for every room in the house. Illustrated with more than 220 full-color photos.
