Synopsis

Tap into the growing trend for injecting color into one’s living space with this elegant, inspiring selection of contemporary interiors in every shade and hue

Now available in a sleek compact format, this inspirational visual journey along the color spectrum features 200 interiors from 130 designers in a vibrant variety of hues, from the purest white to the deepest black, from the hottest pinks, oranges, and reds to the coolest greens and tranquil blues.

Organized by color, Living in Color showcases 27 rooms from a diverse array of residences. Beautiful, large-scale images invite readers to explore a cream-colored Malibu bedroom by Kelly Wearstler; a vivid blue bedroom in Southern France by Patrice Breteau; an ashen, English home office by Faye Toogood; and additional interior masterworks by the industry’s greatest names, including Ilse Crawford, Peter Marino, and Bunny Williams. Complementing the luxe visuals are brief descriptive texts by renowned curator Stella Paul and acclaimed interior designer India Mahdavi.

Smart, stylish, and beautifully produced, this stunning volume showcases how embracing color can transform any domestic space.
