Color Design Source Book: Using Fabrics, Paints, & Accessories for Successful Decorating

by Caroline Clifton-Mogg

Caroline Clifton-Mogg guides you through every aspect of using color in the home, from choosing the right scheme for each room to adding the perfect finishing touches. She provides inspiration from nature, art, and history and explores color in depth, delving into the nuances of the interior decorator's palette. She shows a wide range of classic and unusual looks--sometimes subtle and chic, sometimes bold and humurous. The book also offers advice on using colors to create the atmosphere you want or to affect the shape or size of a room. You can also learn how to select the right paints, and apply decorative finishes and textiles to cover your walls. - An invaluable resource whether you are planing a whole new look or simply remodeling an existing scheme. - Evocative photography by Alan Williams.
