Love Color

When we bought our home, the previous owners had painted everything white. It was the most boring interior you have ever seen. So, we set out to paint each room a different color.It is not as easy as it may seem, and a lot of the paint sites are very staid and don't take many chances when they recommend color choices.

This book, this amazing book, goes through all the colors of the rainbow, and suggest colors that will work with each major group. And then shows the colors in action, and pints out what colors are represented in each of the rooms that it portrays.

It was hard to choose which pictures to show, to represent all this vibrant color. The rooms go from rustic, to contemporary, to out of this world. The examples are well thought out and quite stunning.

I would recommend this book for the casual and dedicated DYI workers, who is trying to get the ook they want, without having to try every color in the rainbow.

I thank NetGalley and Quarto for this eBook.

A beautiful book full of ideas. I could sit and look at this book for hours time and time again. It is beautifully put together with great ideas and stunning photographs. This is an insightful and interesting book.

Thank you to Netgalley for my copy.

I really enjoyed Love COlor. Anna Starmer begins teh book with basic ideas you ne4ed to truly decorate your home. Starmer explains how to use color to create a mood specific emotion throughout your house. The rest of the book is spent on the colors themselves. The author shows you beautiful photos along with teh color scheme so you can visualize what the scheme truly is. As read, I started to see that most of teh color schemes I create intuitively but I got great pointers on how to really make these schemes pop with texture and prints. My favorite color section was orange. I loved how these ideas didn't make the house look like Halloween and used beautiful color combinations for arresting homes. My least favorite section was purple. It seemed like there was less work with purple especially the darker colors not as accents. Overall, this is a beautiful book that will help you become your own interior designer using the entire palate of colors!

A fascinating book about colours and how to use it.
I was enthralled by the wonderful pictures, the colours and find the text engaging and full of useful ideas.
Highly recommended!
Many thanks to Quarto Publishing and Netgalley for this ARC

This is a gorgeous book. I love how each chapter is organised by colour So it's easy to find ideas. I'm the person who has a completely white house furniture walls etc but I love to add colour by using vibrant coloured cushions bedding and paintings. I must say this book is such a joy to read and look through and you will definitely be left wanting to change something in your home!

Each color gets its own chapter. The photos of the interiors are rich and vibrant.

There are a lot of inspiring photos here. I found the pages on shadows within a room to be the most unique from other books on interior design I have read. Good stuff.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for a free copy of this ebook in exchange for an unbiased review.

This gorgeous book by a color expert gives you lots of excellent ideas for choosing color schemes. I appreciated that the author urges readers to start with items of sentimental significance in creating color design choices. Many palettes are featured in the book, with tips on contrasting colors, working with textures, and use of lighting. The author does a great job of bolstering readers’ confidence in making bolder uses of color and incorporating colors that simply put them in a good mood.

I've always been a bit boring when it comes to decorating. I use some color, but tend toward more neutral and functional rather than going for pretty your exciting. This book covers all things color, from figuring out the colors that speak to you to assume pops of color to using color to give a room the feel you want. The photographs throughout offer ample inspiration for adding color to your own home.

Thank you to Quarto Publishing Group - Ivy Press and Netgalley for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for my honest review.

What a gorgeous book! I feel like I've been on a mini vacation just looking at the beautiful (and of course colorful) photos. The layout is clean and crisp and the information is informative and accessible. I highly recommend it.

I love this book, it is so fabulous - the colour are so glorious and just so "got to have".
We have been living in our newly moved in house for a year - with white walls, ceiling, doors - in fact everything white.
I have been itching to get my hands on a paint brush, but was unsure on what or how to start.. Now I want it all, at the turn of each page - I just fall in love, and it happened over and over again.
This is a beautiful challenging book, which give you the incentive to be yourself, to use colour that makes you feel good - even if its white - but to use it with feeling.
Even if you don't want to go completely with the walls, some of those wonderful effects can certainly creep in as burst of colour in accessories to light the spirit and challenge the mind.
Love this book.

This is a gorgeous book full of color inspiration in all palettes. I really enjoyed the fact that the color inspiration is decidedly international and has an old world aesthetic, instead of the cookie-cutter home decors in so many decorating books. There are really saturated colors here, with lots of photos of vividly painted villages, weathered walls, textiles, and other color scheme ideas besides the standard pretentious living room or BH&G magazine kitchen. The author also uses clothing, nature and other elements for color inspiration, which really appealed to me. I liked her idea of gathering colorful items in colors that we love and then putting them together to decide on color schemes. I also liked the focus on using different textures and materials to manipulate color.

There are some colors that I generally really don't like, but I found myself liking them in some of the examples in this book. There were many that I really didn't like, but I take that as a good sign because it shows what a range of styles and tastes are represented.

At $35, I think the retail price for this book is a little high. I'd recommend getting it from the library first and purchasing it if it's a good fit.

I viewed a temporary digital ARC of this book for the purpose of review.

So much color! Great if you're looking to add a little extra color to your living space - not so great if you're colorblind and can't make sense of any of the book's diagrams.

Beautiful book and absolutely wonderful aesthetics. Great way to gain inspiration for when renovating one's house or self-designing. It was so pleasing to read and a great coffee table book.

Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this colorful book.

This book was a riot of color! It was full of helpful suggestions for combining and using color to express oneself. It was applicable to not only interior designers but also others such as quilters and fiber artists.

The photography was excellent and there was enough of it. It certainly helped to illustrate the creative juxtaposition of colors, clearly.
This book would be a useful addition to the library shelf of anyone that works with color.

Love Color is a stunning book. So much color. The photographs are beautiful and inspiring. I have learned so much about color and different ways to combine many different colors to create a inspiring look. Highly recommend this book.

Love Color is a gorgeous book filled with ideas on choosing the right color combination and incorporating these colors in your home. There are so many color palettes to choose from, and Love Color includes tips that will boost the reader’s confidence in selecting their own color style when sprucing up their homes. It also offers tips on textures, patterns, lighting and choosing colors that can improve the reader’s mood and enhance their emotional well being.
The photos in this book are stunning! The colors are rich and vibrant and I like the concept used in this book where each chapter is sorted by color, thus making it easy to find ideas. Each chapter starts with a brief overview of the color discussed and then proceeds to show different color palettes used for each interior. I’m seriously considering buying a paper copy of this book. If you’re looking for inspirations for your home, this book is for you.

Thank you to Anna Starmer, Quarto Publishing Group - Ivy Press, and NetGalley for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

A gorgeous book filled with stunning, carefully curated photographs! I would recommend this for anyone looking for inspiration on styling their home with bright, beautiful colors.

Thank you Quatro Publishing - Ivy Press for this ARC .

Love Color is a great mix of decorating help and beautiful photography.

Each chapter is a different colour with Information on how to use colour in a room or outside, swatches and gorgeous photos.
A great coffee table or inspirational book.

With the author's creative flair, splashes of vibrant colors permeated this book. It was offered that how we feel in our home is largely dependent upon the colors we find ourselves surrounded with. Anna Starmer suggests that we be mindful of what colors complement us best. There are no right or wrong colors to choose from. 

The colors that we come in contact with in our daily lives could very well hold positive or negative effects upon our emotions. Usually trial and error will determine what works best for us individually. Many of the Illustrated inspired crafts in this well-written book jump right off the pages. Resources with contact information were carefully listed in the back followed closely by an index. This is a must-have resource for the world of color that we live in.

I offer my thanks to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group - Ivy Press for this digital edition in exchange for an unbiased review.

Also reviewed on Amazon. in US and UK Thank you for the read.

Color surrounds us everywhere! As the author of this book states: “The colors we chose are ultimately a statement about who we are, what we love, and how we want to live.” So, this is a book that may be used by everybody. From the furniture we choose to the colors used on our walls and windows to the colors used in crafting things for home or as gifts, color is a part of our lives.

The author takes the reader through various ways of deciding how to select colors in their various tones and hues as well as the colors that will complement those choices. She carefully instructs the reader to be “clear and honest about which colors you love and want to surround yourself with” because “your home is for you, [and] there is no right or wrong way with color.”

Whether choosing to redecorate or moving into a new home, the concepts discussed in this book will provide the reader with knowledge to create a pleasant sanctuary. Also consider it as a housewarming gift for friends and family who may need new ideas for decorating.

I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book that was provided by the publisher through Net Galley. However, the thoughts and opinions presented here are my own

Beautiful book with unusual color schemes and ideas for decorating. The descriptions are nice and I will purchase the hardcover version as a coffee table book.

Lots of gorgeous photography and inspiration fill this book! A good reference for anyone looking to add color to their home. Helps you figure out how to choose colors, figure out how much or how little you want to use, and gives plenty of helpful palettes to inspire. Even just looking through this book made me happy!

So many color palettes to choose from, and very versatile.
A great resource to plan the decor for your home.
Take it with you on your next visit to home decor stores, to see what you can buy and will look great together.

A great book for those who love colour, like me. A beautifully designed book with great ideas for using colour.

Picking out colors for home decor is the hardest thing for me! I am always looking for fun and colorful ways to update my home since my husband prefers dark browns... Thank you for this digital copy I enjoyed envisioning ways to use more color in my home decor!

Gorgeous book! I love that the chapters were arranged by colour. I found the pink and purple chapters particularly beautiful - they’re not colours I would usually choose, which just shows how carefully-chosen and varied the shades that the author chose. A great book for colour inspiration, not just for interior design but for any other colours you might choose.

Great take on color and how to apply it to room design. I think anyone looking to better choose color combinations will benefit from this book.

Truly a magical book. I love that every colour has its own section. I love the ideas and information on all the colours and what colours complement each other. The pictures are beautiful throughout the book. This is a great book just to have on your coffee table to peruse if nothing else although I learnt a lot from this book. There is a lot of inspiration in this book. Definitely a book to own.

I received an e-copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you!

The choice of colors of your walls, your floors, your furniture is one of the fundamentals of arranging your living space. As I am soon to be moving out into an apartment of my own, I decided to read Love Color for some inspiration. I was not disappointed. The book delivers a great many amazing pictures of houses, flats, rooms, corridors, entrances, etc., arranged according to the color they represent, from blue and green through the warm colors (yellow, orange, red), through pink and purple, through greys, “naturals” and white. Most of the pictures are accompanied by a small graph showing the color contrasts in the space depicted.

My particular color “love affair” has always been with blue, and I have to say that after reading this book, this is still true. The blue chapter (and, to a lesser extent, the green one) was my favourite, and spoke to me the most. However, all the chapters are worth looking through, even if the color combinations are sometimes a little too intense to put in an apartment.

A book worth checking out if you are planning on arranging a new living space or renovating your old one.
