The power of colour to transform surroundings, to evoke reactions,
to touch the imagination, to exhilarate, excite and inspire is
unmatched. It is the colours of the landscape, the quality of the
light, the climate and the natural materials at hand for building
and decorating that give voice to the colours of country style. In
Country Colour, interiors expert Judith Miller explores the rich
seam of colour as it is used in country homes around the world: the
faded pinks, reddish-brown terracotta, yellow ochre and burnt
sienna found in the rolling hills of the Tuscan landscape are
reflected in the colourful decoration of a stone villa nestled in
the countryside; in Sweden the decoration of a traditional
farmhouse boasts the bracing, chilly colours -pale blue, grey,
crisp white and pale yellow- evocative of northern climates. Judith
explores colour throughout the book by navigating its use in
various palettes, including sections on cool, warm and vibrant
colours that explain the different perceptions of colour from one
climate region to another. Whether cool and pale or bright and
warm, colour plays a pivotal role in bringing a cosy and
comfortable mood to the rooms of an interior decorated in country
style, celebrating the charms of rural living while creating a
welcome retreat. Each chapter includes carefully selected swatches
for paint and fabric with codes that allow you to match available
paints from manufacturers such as Benjamin Moore, Fired Earth,
Ralph Lauren and Farrow & Ball. Coming from one of the
industry's leading experts, this book makes a beautifully
illustrated and highly authoritative companion for anyone hoping to
inject a bit of country colour into their home.
