In the Mood for Colour: Perfect Palettes for Creative Interiors
Color is powerful – it can change our moods or raise our spirits. It can be positively life-enhancing, yet so many of us struggle with choosing the right shades for our home, instead falling back on a safe but unadventurous palette of bland neutrals.
In this, his third book, celebrated interior stylist Hans Blomquist reveals his lifelong passion for color and the way in which it can affect our emotions. Color can soothe, enchant or excite. And as Hans demonstrates, it has the ability to render rooms cool and calming, dynamic and stimulating or moody and intriguing.
As ever, Hans draws his inspiration from the treasures of the natural world, exploring shades from the dazzling optic white of newly fallen snow to the fiery crimson heart of a newly unfurled poppy and the inky canopy of the midnight sky. Divided into five sections – Dark, Pale, Soft, Natural and Bright – In the Mood for Colour will make you see color in a completely different light.

this book was mostly for pleasure, as i don’t really plan on painting anytime soon. i have always loved the creative side of life and wanted to see color from a fresh perspective. blomquist covers shades by identifying them in nature and sharing the strengths of each one. i think i expected to fall in love with one in particular, but blomquist instead caused me to fall in love with all the shades and see how each can create a stunning effect. this book left me smiling and wanting to see the colors of the world in awe.

This was gorgeous. The moody misty dreamy rooms pictured in this book were inspired. It makes me want to repaint my entire house. Not sure how Brian will feel about that.

Photos and description of how to use dark colors, pastels, bright colors. Light colors can look sterile, and the author recommends adding vintage furniture to mitigate that. He is Swedish and lives in Paris, and describes both furniture styles.
I realized I do not want to paint any walls bright colors. The author also loooooves walls and furniture with distressed paint and it is not my style.
