Our homes are not just bricks and mortar, but vital spaces with which we interact. Different colours can change, soften, intensify, and alter mood and atmosphere. Whether you’re after relaxation, stimulation, calm, passion, or security, this beautifully illustrated guide will show you how to create the right mood in every room of your home.
Colour is highly subjective, and the colours you choose for your home make a major statement about your personality. They can also affect your mood. Many people lack confidence in choosing colours for their home, and live with colours they find less than satisfying. Living in Colour presents a wealth of ideas for choosing and using colour in the home. Following an introduction to the power of colour, the majority of the book centres on the five major colour families—red, blue, green, violet, and neutral—presenting a gallery of images highlighting the colour’s possibilities. The book covers every room in the house, and every mood you might wish to achieve—calm, invigorating, relaxing, or vibrant.
Beautifully illustrated with stunning photographs, Living in Colour will give you the confidence to create the home you desire.
