If you're unsure of where to
begin, the latest addition
to the Essential Series from
Terrence Conran will guide
you through the first steps
of working with color. The
author includes sections on
understanding how color
works; exploring the basic
color groups and the moods
they create; and using color
and texture to develop accents and focal points in rooms.
Chapters also delve into home design, decorating and
furnishing. Those who read instructions will appreciate
Conran's bulleted formulas for working color into your
decor. The rest of us will just zero in on the photos, pull
ideas and head for the paint store.
