Description
Colour is clever. It is the cheapest and most transformative thing you can do to a space; capable of injecting instant glamour and cool, making a space cosy, luxurious and indulgent, and defining your style more effectively than any other design element. If you want to introduce colour into your home but don't know where to start or are scared of taking the plunge, Abigail is your perfect guide, delivering the know how of a hands-on, super-exuberant stylist in brilliant, bite-size chunks. Learn how to figure out your colour palette, to trust your instincts and identify your ideal shade - the core colour that will make a home distinctly and beautifully yours. Drawing on her palette of inky, swampy, bottom-of-the-lake hues, easy-on-the eye neutrals and intoxicating brights, Abigail reveals how to build a room through colour, showing how to up the ante with accents and focal points, layer lighting, add drama through accessories, and play around with paint, fabric and pattern. Make your small rooms look larger and dark rooms feel brighter - Abigail provides colour inspiration for every room of your home.Whether you want to start small, with pops of colour, or introduce a whole new colour scheme to your home, Colour gives you all the information you need to reinvent your space and turn it into a home that you will never want to leave!
