Color in Decoration
The authors, both professional decorators and artists, have compiled a book that will give readers the means to "make their decorating less of a hit-and-miss affair." The majority of the book is devoted to hundreds of photographs showing how different hues, tones, and intensities of color are employed by various designers. Although color choices in paint are the primary focus, the authors also discuss how the use of different colors in furnishings can change the mood of a room. A practical guide to color mixing and painting is included, as is an explanation of the creation of color schemes. The overall discussion of color in interior decoration makes this book a good choice for all collections.- Gayle A.
