Proceeding from the general to the specific, the book begins with different styles and forms of housing and how these are affected and influenced by color. For example, the simplicity of white clapboard New England colonials lend themselves to formal approaches, while the lighthearted pastels of the Caribbean invite informal juxtapositions of style. The book then explores how varying materials and textures--open up new areas for exploring color and mood. The concluding section of the book is a rich sequence of images depicting how color is used differently around the world. Taken together, this book is sure to be a source of inspiration for anyone interested in interiors and decorating.
LOVE IT. I can look at this book over and over again. This is a beautiful, visually stimulating, inspiring book for anyone interested in color and style. Major eye-candy. I think they should have gone with a different jacket though. To me there are so many other more beautiful and interesting photographs in the book so if you don't like the picture on the jacket as the saying goes: Don't judge a book by it's cover. I'm a big fan of World of Interiors and imagine if you like that magazine you will love this book.
