Windows and window treatments can influence and enhance every decor: opening a room to a glorious view or securing privacy; letting in light or keeping it out; accenting, complementing, or unifying a decorating scheme; taming a large room or expanding a small one. In House Beautiful Windows, all facets of window treatment are explored, including such considerations as scale, proportion, color, and harmony. Window treatments appropriate to every decorating style are offered, from ultra modern to historic homes. The "mechanics" of window treatment-how and where to use them-is presented, along with a look at the traditional and offbeat materials and accessories. House Beautiful Windows, with its more than 125 full-color photos, concludes with profiles of six homeowners throughout the country who have devised their own approaches to windows and window treatments.
