Book - 2017

"Renowned for her unique eye for color and her ability to mix paint, pattern and texture to fabulous effect in creating beautiful spaces, Tricia Guild has now, for the first time ever, resolved to lay bare the secrets of her working methods and spell them out simply for us to follow -- not to copy what she does but to learn how to use these skills in our own rooms. Taking inspiration from nature, the cityscape, a different period or culture or from the space itself, Paint Box provides visual inspiration, expert advice, a box of tricks and 45 of Tricia's tried-and-tested palettes."--provided by Amazon.com.

Review by Library Journal Review

Guild, founder of the firm Designers Guild and author of numerous books on design and color (e.g., Tricia Guild on Color, Think Color: Rooms To Live In), presents 45 color palettes showcasing paints and fabrics from her line. More than 200 color photographs show rooms each styled to represent a palette and its theme. Although these color combinations are prescriptive, Guild advises how to add texture and pattern in order to vary the palettes to suit one's own taste and describes how to use mood boards for color inspiration. VERDICT Although primarily a catalog to showcase Guild's products, there is still a wealth of ideas on how to employ color in the home. © Copyright 2018.
