Tricia Guild is known for her bold and original fabric and wallpaper collections. Following the success of her many books on color and pattern, she shares her long-standing fascination with using flowers in interior design—taking inspiration from her own garden as well as from all over the world to create stylish, sophisticated interiors. She draws on examples from her own designs where flowers have an enormous impact on the energy and mood of a room—whether it is a series of maroons and purples to amplify the sense of luxury in a dark and cozy boudoir or a collection of single stemmed red dahlias in vintage 1950s vases to inject urban drama and whimsy into a neutral minimalist living room. Included are hints and tips on designing a room with flora along with Tricia’s own flower care guide. With stunning, original photography and a text rich in insights from her own experience, this is a must-have compendium for anyone interested in contemporary interior design.

Blurred pictures make this book a disappointment,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Tricia Guild Flower Sense: The Art of Decorating with Flowers (Hardcover)
When I ordered this book I thought that it would be a wonderul reference on creative flower design. As an avid gardener flowers are a very important part of our decorating. This book was such a disappointment. While it is a beautiful book my estimate of the blurred ( for artistic license ) photos is a least 25%. It almost makes you dizzy to read the book and is such a distraction as you try to see what the designs look like. It reminds me of reading a book underwater. Not something I would pay to do.

This review is from: Tricia Guild Flower Sense: The Art of Decorating with Flowers (Hardcover)
I received my book in very good conditions except by the dust jacket, it is damaged, inside the book was everything perfect.
next time I would like a package more fixed, maybe without space, the book could not move inside the cover.

Have not yet opened the package but am sure it will be another of Tricia's beautifully packaged color sensed artwork. I enjoyed her previous Country colors and am looking forward to this book.
