This new book allows them to explore the world of colour and reveal their own inspirations - travel, hotels and restaurants, Instagram, the natural world and vintage design. Starting at the beginning, Jane and Lucy investigate colour theory before plunging into the history of colour and how it affects our emotions. Next, they take a look at the natural world and explore what colour means in different cultures around the globe. They then tackle the million-dollar question - which colours should you choose for your home? A final chapter explores inventive ways to decorate with colour, from bold blocking to brave use of contrasting hues. Each chapter is interspersed with a real-life home that perfectly exemplifies the Rockett St George style. If you want to go for maximum impact when updating an interior, there's no better way to achieve it than with bold, clever and creative use of colour.
