From colour-drenched spaces to micro colour-pops, the hues we choose to live with have a huge impact on our wellbeing. Step inside 12 homes that use colour as a backdrop for everyday life.

Colour is a universal language and a channel for creativity and imagination. It taps into our minds, evokes emotions and gets under our skin. In this book, Sara Bird and Dan Duchars share how to be inventive with colour while making soulful and sustainable choices. In the first section, Colour Chemistry, they begin with the colour wheel and explore tonal, complementary and contrasting schemes as well as how to choose the right finish, whether a flat matt, glossy glaze or dappled sheen. They also explore the psychology of colour and consider ways to highlight stand-out features. In part two, Colour for the Soul, the authors visit 12 real homes: evocative, original spaces with palettes that nod to individuality. Naturally pigmented materials bring charisma through chroma in all kinds of interiors. Arranged in four chapters (Natural, Minimalist, Maximalist and Accents), these case studies show how to add heart and soul with sustainable choices and eco-friendly ideas. Be inspired to bring new ideas to your home and create a positive place that enhances your life.
