Synopsis
Celebrating the use of blue and white in decorating, this book presents a series of themes, objects and details in a room-by-room guided tour of the rich visual possibilities that this classic combination has inspired. It first surveys the historical precedents for the blue-and-white theme, taking examples such as the Alhambra in Granada, the Mogul palaces in Rajasthan and the Banqueting Room in the Brighton Pavilion. It traces the colours' influence on manufacturers such as Delft, Sevres and Royal Worcester, and shows how such pieces have been successfully integrated into blue-and-white design schemes for more than 300 years. The book goes on the show blue and white as an inspiration for modern interiors and exteriors, giving guidelines for choosing textures, patterns, furnishing and accessories, to enable readers to interpret the theme in their own homes. Mary Gilliatt's many previous books on design include "The Decorating Book", "Decorating on the Cheap" and "English Country Style".
