Default A book talk about COLOR & PAINT

1001 IDEAS FOR COLOR & PAINT
Painting a room is the "quickest and most cost-effective way to
dramatically transform the look of your home," says Callery (Right
First Time Decorating). For those ready to take the plunge into color,
the author explains how colors are perceived, what color schemes work
and how to achieve them. Using that classic elementary-school art
class prop, the color wheel, Callery illustrates the differences
between primary, secondary and tertiary colors, as well as
harmonizing, contrasting, warm and cool colors. She then addresses
various schemes, starting with naturals and neutrals, moving through
"Mediterranean magic" and "exotic looks," and into "period colors"
which, when used in a historic home, create a link with the past, but
when used in a modern home, lend "a whole new feeling of identity."
Although Callery provides plenty of instruction for overwhelmed
readers, she also urges them to think creatively. For example, if you
like neutrals, "think of nature when creating your schemes--try mixing
sea and sand, bark and leaves, stone and moss." Later chapters focus
on enhancing space; adding patterns, borders or scenes to a painted
wall; and using textural finishes and faux techniques. Photos are
abundant, and some sections feature numerous renderings of the same
room decorated in various color schemes.
