Summary

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.
