1.0 out of 5 stars Not inspiring, December 18, 2002
By Amy Hilliard (VA, United States) - See all my reviews
  
I love books on color in interior decoration, but I was disappointed in this one. Despite being published in 2001, the pictures look outdated. The interior decoration style represented in this book is 1980's decor at its worst. It is mostly overdone floral chintz and blindingly bad color combinations. Even the "Modern-style" pictures look outdated.

Recommendation:
There are too many other better books on color to waste your money on this one.

Other Sources:

Color in Your Home by T. Evelegh
This is a great book for beginners. It has one of the best primers on color using easy to understand language and with many examples. Instead of being sectioned by color, it is sectioned off into neutrals, pastels, the mid-tones, the brights, and the deep tones. The photos are beautiful. The style is modern country and/or feminine (but not overdone) color schemes.

Color Your Home Beautiful: Ideas and Solutions
It has beautiful photos, a variety of well-chosen color combinations in a variety of styles, dozens of color swatches, useful tips, and quotes from designers. The only style that is not well-represented is minimalism/modern.

Color Design File by Geddes-Brown
Pluses:
She does a great job of covering the basics of color, and there are beautiful photos. I like the fact that there are pockets for swatches and magazine inspirations. Her personality shows through in her writing. This book shows only Loft style.

Think Color by Tricia Guild
This book is better for inspiration than specific tips on how to use color. It shows a very bold, but tasteful, use of color and color combinations.
