This is a book that guides you expertly through every aspect of using colour in the home. The colour scheme is often the first thing people notice when they walk into a room, so your choice of colours is probably the most important decision you will make when decorating your home. As Caroline Clifton-Mogg explains, no colour works in isolation, so perceptive colour combining is the only way to achieve a successful design scheme. She presents a wide range of classic and unusual looks - sometimes subtle and chic, sometimes bold and humorous, but always stylish and inspirational. She also advises on using colours to create the atmosphere you want or to affect the shape or size of a room.
