This review is from: Guide to Pattern & Color: Decorating Ideas for Your Home (Home Magic) (Paperback)

This book was very simple and easy to use. It is FULL of pictures and guides which I found very helpful. Many of the ideas are perfect for getting started. A few of the more difficult concepts were way over my head but this book was very helpful to me when I chose color schemes for my new home. Not only can you get help with matching up color schemes, the book was also very helpful in identifying mood colors so that each room is inviting and makes people feel comfortable. I would recommend this book to anyone in need of paint, wallpaper or other color medium help.
