Colour surrounds us and holds the key to creating the ideal living environment. This original book, written by a top interior designer and a colour consultant, explains how our personalities influence our preferences not only for colour, but also for architectural and furniture styles. Mixing personality analysis with decorating expertise, the authors reveal why, if you are a shy and retiring personality you will prefer a soft, nurturing shade of pink. On the other hand, if you are a decisive and self-assured person you will favour bright red. Chapters deal with international styles, planning a room, creating the look, moods and colours, colours for each personality.
