Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Mood Indigo is the definitive guide to using the depth and passion of vivid colors to transform your home in surprising and alluring ways. For decades, paler shades — whites, beiges, and neutrals — have taken the lead in the interior design scene. Many decorators are wary of using strong colors in home décor, but Mood Indigo banishes forever the idea that deeper shades need to be somber or overpowering. In fact, this fascinating book demonstrates how strong colors can provide the perfect background to emphasize shapes and contours, furniture and fabric and change a soft, muted look into a warm distinctive interior. Mood Indigo demonstrates how a rich, dark color can make the interior of a cold or sunless home appear cozy and comforting. Step by step, readers will see how deep colors can cocoon and reassure as well as aid relaxation and form a barrier from noise, traffic, and other outside stresses. This revolutionary decorating guide also explores how, contrary to popular opinion, you can use dark colors to make small spaces seem vast and infinite. Each richly illustrated chapter explores a color "family," from the exotic shades of blues and greens?indigo, cobalt, sapphire, malachite, and pine?reds and purples?vermilion, burgundy, raspberry, violet, and amethyst — to the less-common but equally powerful black, browns, and grays. It also explores the effects of lighting and how to take into account personal reactions to a color. For anyone wishing to experiment with color, Mood Indigo is a celebration of vivid colors with all their sensual richness.
