Choose another book., 16 Dec 2002
By Amy Hilliard - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Choosing a Colour Scheme (Paperback)
There are so many books on interior decoration it can be difficult to choose among them. This book makes it easy. Just say no.Pluses:
None that I can see.
Minuses:
I do not think the photos in this book save it. I think that the photos are outdated, meaning, they have ugly decorating schemes by way of the 80s, and we are not talking cool retro here. For a book that is suppose to instruct you on color, they sure choose some horrible color combinations.
Recommendation: Don't bother wasting your time with this book.
Better Sources (in no particular order):
All these books have beautiful photos.
1) Think Color by Tricia Guild - good for inspiration. The book shows a very bold use of color.
2) Color Your Home Beautiful: Ideas and Solutions - has a variety of well-chosen color combinaions in a variety of styles, dozens of color swatches, useful tips, and quotes from designers.
3) Color in Your Home by Evelegh - mostly for those of you who like modern country and/or feminine (but not overdone) color schemes. Plus, one of the best primers on how to use color.
4) The Color Design File by Geddes-Brown - mostly for those of you who like Loft and/or Modern style. Covers the basics, but few useful written tips for design junkies. Very personal writing style.

5.0 out of 5 stars
An inexpensive book with a wealth of information, 14 Sep 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Choosing a Colour Scheme (Paperback)
This is a very useful book. It breaks down the sometimes overwhelming process of choosing colors with clear and helpful instructions. I also appreciated the emphasis on working with what you have, since not all of us can buy all new furniture. For the price, this book is well worth the $$$!!

4.0 out of 5 stars
A great place to start.., 4 Feb 2000
By Mark London - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Choosing a Colour Scheme (Paperback)
So many of us paid no attention in art class to learning and understanding the color wheel, but then it goes much further than that. The book helps you choose your color scheme correctly and assist you in identifying your desire for the warm, cool, contrasting or harmonious color choices. Help and suggestions are provided for the use of textures and how to paint to make your room look wider, larger, higher or even smaller. Much more info is provided than listed. A great investment at a minimal cost.
