Description

This visual analysis of the colors used in furnishing fabrics and wallpapers from the 15th century to the present day provides inspiration for designers. The book features reproductions of fabrics and wallpapers on double-page spreads, accompanied by brief captions that provide details about their significance in the context of interior design.

Unique to this book are the color grids shown beside each pattern, including CMYK references that allow designers to replicate these colors in their own work. The colors used in each pattern are presented in a simple proportional grid, giving a clear understanding of hues that have been expertly combined at different periods to create the designs we continue to admire and emulate.

The book opens with a brief introduction that explores the history of color as used in interiors, setting the stage for a chronological analysis of the palettes used by designers over the centuries.
