ABSTRACT:
An overlay system which enables the user to combine different design elements of a composite design, such as a window treatment, to form a representation of a desired composite design. The overlay system comprises a series of overlay sheets which are preferably clear mylar sheets, each imprinted with both a pictorial representation and a written description of the particular style option depicted thereon. Each particular style of the same category of design element is marked with a visual indicia representative of that particular category of design elements. A user first selects a representation of a window that matches the window that is to be treated. Then the user selects a number of different overlay sheets from one or more categories of design elements. The user combines the overlay sheets until the desired composite design is achieved. Once the desired composite design is achieved, the combination of overlay sheets is aligned to form a representation of the composite design. The representation of the composite design can be reproduced using a standard photocopy machine.
