Colour in Decoration by Annie Sloan

Colour has the power to evoke memories and create moods, to change the sense of space and bring warmth or coolness, light or dark, to an interior. Used to best effect, with a clear understanding of the way it works, colour is the key to successful interior decoration. This source book of how to use colour to enhance any interior design scheme opens up new vistas for the novice or experienced decorator. It illustrates the basic principles of colour action in an approachable way, and shows how these can be put to work in a wealth of ideas for decorating the home. A series of colour portraits demonstrates the range of hues and identifies the pigments that make up the infinite variety of colours, each of which is given in-depth treatment.

'A mine of information on everything connected with the decorative use of colour in the home.. I would highly recommend this excellent book.' Everyman Review; 'Should inspire confidence in the most timid decorator. Lavish pictures of every style of room show how colour can be used without trepidation.' Good Housekeeping; 'Lavishly illustrated by colour photographs of interiors and special effects.' Woman's Journal
