Looks at a spectrum of blues, and illustrates how they can be used to achieve any mood. This book aims to instil confidence in all those who have trouble choosing appropriate colour schemes or pallet. It is also a sourcebook for various types of home interiors, offering practical advice on colour matching and choosing accent colours.
What is your favourite colour? More often than not the answer is blue. In the past, decorating with blue implied blue and white with may be a touch of sunflower yellow. Not these days! 21st century blues are accented with bright greens and raspberry, with bitter chocolates and steely greys. The new-blues are whatever you want them to be: conventional, chic or cutting edge. They are exciting as well as beautiful; they are new, and yet comfortingly familiar. In this book, Stephanie Hoppen looks at a whole new spectrum of blues, and illustrates how they can be used to achieve any mood - exciting and vibrant, or calm and soothing. Blue is a vast colour with an enormous range and it has become the colour of the decade. The book is organized from very pale, baby and powder blue, steadily increasing in depth and richness to the deepest indigos, navy's and midnight blues. "Choosing Blue" is a wonderful visual treat dedicated to proving to all readers the versatility of the new blue. With this book, Hoppen hopes to instil confidence in all those who have trouble choosing appropriate colour schemes or pallet.
It is also a fantastic sourcebook for all types of home interiors, offering practical advice on colour matching and choosing accent colours.
