Design

A creative use of colour can completely transform a home, bringing warmth, light and welcome focus to even the smallest of spaces. In The Colourful Home, Vinny Lee explains the principles of colour theory and classic colour combinations, following up with inspirational colour schemes, from all-white neutrals to jewel-bright shades of turquoise, suggesting ways of introducing colour via walls, floors, fabrics and furnishing. A host of practical ideas includes creating a colour storyboard for compiling your own schemes.
