Color is the single most powerful element in decoration; its ability to transform surroundings and to excite a variety of responses is second to none. Guild shows how light, scale, and proportion can affect a color and demonstrates how color can be subtly introduced into a room by means of carefully chosen objects and furnishings. 180 color illustrations. Open copy. Slight scratching/scuffing on dust jacket. Interior pages in very nice condition. Book has minor to mild shelf wear. Sold as is!

About this title

Synopsis

Suggests a new approach to using color in interior design, and shows examples of rooms decorating using various color combinations

Reviews

Guild, a renowned designer for the Designers Guild in London, examines color theory and the history and potential of color in decoration. She emphasizes vivid colors and shows how they can be used in home decorating, ranging from painted walls and furniture to coordinating fabrics. Excellent color photography illustrates her bold use of color. Guild includes a fabric directory to identify the Designer Guild fabrics featured in her book, which promotes her business but tends to limit the book's overall usefulness. As a result, this work may well appeal more to students of decorating than to lay readers looking for a basic "how-to-do-it" decorating book. Though it is attractive and interesting, librarians should consider it only as a supplement.
