Gypsy: A World of Colour & Interiors Hardcover – April 15, 2014

by Sibella Court (Author)

Revered designer Sibella Court is known for her eclectic, creative vision and vibrant Bohemian style and interiors. In Gypsy Sibella takes you on a whirlwind tour through the Galapagos and Ecuador, Indochine, Turkey, Scotland, and Transylvania. From place to place, she reveals diverse elements that inspire her, from churches, favorite suppliers, and table settings, to colors, animals, and aromas.

Filled with dazzling patterns, gorgeous layouts, and eye-catching designs, Gypsy encourages you to use all five senses to draw artistic inspiration from the world around you. Sibella teaches how to take pieces bought or seen on your own travels and use them to fashion unique spaces full of color, texture, imagination, and meaning. She also emphasizes the importance of scents, reminding how fragrances can help transport you to places you’ve been—or dream of going.

An extraordinarily beautiful volume, Gypsy is a deluxe, cloth-covered guide filled with lush photos taken by Sibella’s brother, Chris, a renowned, award-winning photographer.

Beautiful Book

This book presents color and pattern through travel, observation and just plain enjoyment of living in the moment wherever you travel. The book presents ideas for anyone interested in styling their own home or even just a few rooms. I use this book for the artistic ideas of color, texture and shapes as well as the ideas for interesting and beautiful places to travel. There is so much in this book to offer to all interests.

This book inspires to loosen up, have confidence and work with life's collected treasures that you love and think beyond the "step by step" interior design box, The third of Sibella's books I own . . .just lovely, that I can refer back to for inspiration. If you are looking for more specific concrete guidance . .it may not be for you.

Attractive book for my decor

Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2017

I bought this as a book for decoration, not to actually read. It is a very attractive book and a nice addition to boho decor; however, if you're looking for a good read or interior design inspiration in this book, then look elsewhere.

Fairly Nice

Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2014

Verified Purchase

The book is a nice high quality fabric. I find it odd that words are written on pages with lots of colors on them- thus makes reading at times difficult. The book is just good to own if you are of a gypsy spirit and like to be surrounded by all things gypsy.

Photos are nice but I wasn't thrilled

Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2014

Verified Purchase

This book has a lot of information but I found it difficult to read as the text is over photos or dark backgrounds. Photos are nice but I wasn't thrilled. Similar ideas presented. The author was interviewed in the WSJ which I found more interesting than the book actually.

not what I expected from sibella

Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2014

I have Sibella Court's other books. The colors were dim on dark background paper and for a book about palettes I found this disappointiing. A basic rehash of her previous books even though travel to new destinations. The quality of this book just wasn't there in quality of print and color.

Das Buch ist einfach wunderbar

Reviewed in Germany on September 22, 2018

Verified Purchase

Ich nutze es seit mehreren Jahren als Coffee-Table Buch, sodass es immer präsent ist und verschiedene Seiten offen gelegt werden.
Das Buch ist eine wahnsinnige Inspirationsquelle was Farben, Farbkombinationen, Materialien, Texturen und Muster der Inneneinrichtung angeht. Immer bezogen auf das jeweilige Reisegebiet, es gibt Galapagos&Ecuador, Indochina, die Türkei, Schottland und Transsilvanien. Somit ist Fernweh garantiert!
Anmutig beschriebene Erklärungen runden das Buch ab.
Die Qualität ist sehr hochwertig, der Einband enthält sogar ein Relief des abgebildeten Musters. Die Themenwechsel im Buch sind durch besonders dicke Seiten markiert.
Wenngleich vielleicht nicht alles 1-zu-1 umsetzbar ist, haben die Bilder eine ungemeine Wirkungskraft, sodass die Eindrücke unweigerlich in einem selbst weiter reifen und man Anteile für die eigene Einreichtung übernimmt.
Und dabei geht es ja bei einem Inspirationsbuch.

Once again a lovely, inspiring book by Sibella Court. I appreciate that writing and doing the research for a varied and artistic book does monopolise much time and energy and also halts personal creativity, I am sorry that Sibella Court wishes to take a break from writing another book. I do hope that in the future she will feel ready to inspire us all again.
The layout and design of the book supports her unusual and distinctive style. I recommend this for inspiring an artist to see their environment through another's eyes and then to re look at their own surroundings and to use this as a route to commencing their own project. I find this helps me to have my own fresh ideas and to select a new subject by using this book.

I see so many items copied from other artists/makers and it is refreshing to see an individual and honest person such as Sibella Court. I have all of Sibella Court's books and recommend these 100%. Thank you to Sibella Court for yet another superb book.
