When designing and decorating your home, it is vital to consider the influence of colour. It can evoke memories and create moods, it can change the sense of space, or bring warmth or coolness, light or dark to a room. Created together with leading interiors magazine "Marie Claire Maison", this book provides practical advice on how to use colour to enhance any decorating scheme. A comprehensive first chapter looks at how colour works - the origins of raw pigments, how and why certain colours complement one another and the effect of colour on space, in different light and even on the mind and body. Subsequent chapters focus on the importance of white and how to effectively introduce other colours to it, and on how to create successful interiors using strong shades, historical colours, the rich hues derived from old tapestries, carpets and paintings, muted pastels and the sheen of watercolour tints.
Throughout the book, stunning examples of contemporary homes - from modern urban spaces to period town houses and simple country homes - are showcased, demonstrating how colour derived from paint, wallpapers, textiles, furniture, accessories and lighting can work together to create stunning interiors.
