Think Pink

Colour is the most difficult problem facing the home decorator. Here, Tricia Guild shows how she uses colour to create or change the mood of a room. The six chapters feature different moods, highlighting the groups of colours with which they are created: "Joyful and Vivacious" - citrus and cerise; "Serene and Pure" - aqua and sea-green; "Soulful and Contemplative" - neutrals and naturals; "Dynamic and Sexy" - rich berry shades; "Relaxed and Restful" - lavenders and blues; and "Fresh and Stimulating" - turquoise and lime.;Tricia explains how she creates rooms, from the first assessment of their atmosphere and dimensions, to the choice and juxtaposition of colours, materials and furniture, not forgetting details such as flowers, table settings and display. The rooms chosenare in England, France and Italy and include city and country locations both inside and out.
