Charles Randall

Charles Randall is the award-winning author of the best-selling window decorating series: Window Fashions, first published in 1986 with sales of more than one million copies.

Charles is also a leading expert in window coverings. When looking for the world’s expert in all things related to window treatments, Samantha Ettus, author of the acclaimed “Experts’ Guide” series, selected none other than Charles Randall for her Experts’ Guide to Life at Home book focusing on improving the aesthetics of a home as well as living well within it. Ettus asked Randall to discuss how to select window treatments. In her book, Charles can be found between Barbara Guggenheim on hanging paintings and Debbie Travis on choosing interior colors.

Charles’s books are available in Arabic, Turkish, Spanish, Russian, and French. He has also found a place on national talk radio shows, completing one in Canada and one in the US.
