Product Description
Product Description
Iconic brand Farrow & Ball began in the 1940s as a small firm based in Dorset specializing in paints made in the traditional way with traditional ingredients. Despite its success, Farrow & Ball has stayed true to these origins. It is the quality of the paint, with its exceptional depth and subtlety of colour, that has made the company famous worldwide. Farrow & Ball paints look as good on the walls of a slick Soho flat as they do in a period ballroom and are as perfect for a cottage as in a castle. Divided into chapters according to style, including Classical, City, Modern Country, Cottage and Country House, the first part of the book shows Farrow & Ball paints and wallpapers in a wide range of unusual and beautiful interiors. Part Two of the book is devoted to colour. From the themes of All White and In Neutral to Softly, Softly and Bright and Beautiful, each chapter explores a particular palette and shows how colour can be used to create atmosphere, character and charm. Inspiring, instructive, celebratory, this book brings out the painter and decorator in us all.

We've just used this book as a great way to narrow down our options for decorating our new flat. The photos are excellent and there is a comprehensive index - for each F&B colour in the book, each page it features on is listed.

Apart from being a lovely coffee table book it actually gets you thinking about colour . There are a wide variety of houses ,old new,large ,small basically something for everyone and not at all intimidating.

I'm decorating my new home and bought this book hoping it would give me guidance on how to use and choose colours. I thought it would have a section on what colours worked best with rooms that face North, South etc., and also some guidance as to what colours to use to create what moods etc. Well, i couldn't find anything in here along these lines at all. The book is layed out in a fashion where it's basically just a photo book with captions telling you what colours are what, and although the pictures are good and interesting, i'm sure you could find them on the Farrow and Ball website and save yourself a bit of money. Also, for a book entitled "Living with colour", the photos are of mainly very neurtrally painted rooms... off whites etc. Pretty but not really a helpful book for decorating. Thank god for Amazon's amazing returns policy!
