In this volume stylist Julia Bird blends traditional appeal for floral themes with the minimalism of contemporary interior design. The book is divided into five principal colour palettes reflecting the seasons: "Light and Fresh" - the light citrus colours of spring; "Cool and Clear" -the clear bright shades of early summer; "Brilliant and Bright" - the hot colours of high summer; "Soft and Subtle" - the mellow palette of autumn; and "Deep and Exotic" - the dark but jewelled colours of winter. Simple practical ideas in each chapter provide ideas for accessible decorative touches, including hand-painted ceramic plates, instant lampshade motifs, and delicate silk cushions with appliqued flowers. The ideas should be easy to create and can be used as successfully in city apartments or country cottages.
