Book Reivew: Farrow and Ball How To Decorate

Living, as we do, in a period home that is most definitely a project in progress, I'm always on the lookout for the most gorgeous, most inspirational, most beautiful books for me to devour, and, happily, I can then pass the details of the best of those on to you - just in time for Father Christmas to pick them up for your stocking!

Today, I bring you Farrow and Ball's new book How To Decorate. As a girl obsessed with paint colours, this is way up there in my dream book category.

Typical of all Farrow and Ball's products, How To Decorate exquisitely presented, with a mix of glossy photographs, brown paper info pages and incredibly informative text but it's in no way just a collection of pretty pictures.

The authors, Charlotte Cosby (Head of Creative) and Joa Studholme  (Colour Expert), clearly know exactly what they are talking about so that the book doesn't feels like an extended Farrow and Ball advertorial.

Their depth of knowledge and enthusiasm for the power of colour is infectious. I guarantee that you'll find yourself wanting to pick up a paintbrush before you've finished the first chapter!

Divided into three parts: Where To Start (looking at factors that should influence your decisions), The Manual (which colours look best where and why) and The Directory (technical information), this will be a book that you dip into again and again and again. How To Decorate has been published to coincide with Farrow and Ball's 70th anniversary, this is a brand that has earned its stripes.

  2. A very informative book. I love everything related to design and took courses in this area. But after that, it became more difficult for me to study at the university. I decided to turn to the BrillAssignment service and order my assignments there. It was the end of the year and we were given a lot of voluminous tasks. Thanks to the service, I passed everything on time and I had time for design courses.

  4. I'd like to write a similar book but completing bibliography kills me. Write my annotated bibliography for me https://specialessays.com/annotated-bibliography-writing/ is a common request from students and researchers looking for assistance in organizing and summarizing their sources. Crafting an annotated bibliography involves more than just listing sources; it requires concise summaries and evaluations of each reference.This will enhance the quality of your work.
