I gave this book a try in spite of its amateurish appearance, because the author touted her designing credentials so highly.That was a mistake. The information in this little book can be found all over the net for free. Being written by a certified designer, I expected a bit of insider color information, tricks and tips, even at such a low price point. Ultimately, this thin book exists as an advertising vehicle to promote the author's long-distance decorating services, as can be seen in the Epilog.Bottom line:Good for anyone in need of the rock bottom basics of color psychology and how the properties of paint and light affect color.Not good for anyone expecting even a smidgen of fresh, interesting or insightful ideas on color from the unique perspective of a designer who was sought out by an "international publisher" from "London".
It doesn't give you much in the way of new ideas. I got the book as an "unlimited" but if I would have paid for it I would have been very disappointed. It may be great for new designers but as I said there was not much in the way of new ideas or good info.
This book contains consise explanations of colors and the feelings they can evoke. In addition, Coleen does an excellent job of showing you how to use colors, either by painting a room, wall, or as an accent.I am excited to try some of suggestions she makes! How lucky San Diego is to have her in their neighborhood.
The title of Chicago's song, "Color my World" best describes the extraordinary gift and talents of Coleen's designing ideas! This DIY is only a shadow of her color wheel skills and showing how combining fabric and textures can turn your dull into WOW!!!!!!! This finer designer knows COLOR!!!!!
This book was of great help to me, I am at the begining of my interior decorative painting business. I will use this book again and again.
I never thought of colour this way. I learned a lot. Very interesting book, even for architects. Good work. It's a guide.
This short book summarizes the subject matter and provides photos of the author's stunning room design renovations. It is in no small part self-promotional, so it's a good book to read for free.
So I decided to go for it and use more color throughout my house instead on neutrals. This book was a motivator and inspirational that I could do it, relax about it, and enjoy the process!!!
