Farrow & Ball: How to Decorate

In honor of the 70th anniversary of the luxury paint and wallpaper brand Farrow & Ball, creative director Cosby and color consultant Studholme use stunning photography and written detail to highlight the multiple factors that transform average square footage into dynamic, evocative living space. When it comes to making design decisions about any given room, their approach is simple: consider the architectural elements, the light, and personal tastes. There are endless ways to transform a room from darkness into light. Exploring a neutral theme? Consider traditional neutral, or a yellow-based neutral, or a red-based neutral. Beyond that you will need also to decide whether to go with the contemporary neutral, the easy neutral, or the architectural neutral. The nuance is explained in the detailed text, and tones are differentiated in the exceptional photography. The wealth of information on topics such as room accessories, color combinations, and even ceilings makes this book an invaluable tool for the novice who feels inspired to give a living space a makeover.
