Book Description Paint and Color in Decoration celebrates the work of some of the greatest names in interior design, from Robert Adam to David Hicks, and reveals the techniques and materials they pioneered. It is a fascinating history of 400 years of paint, color, and decorative style from Farrow & Ball, the world's leading manufacturer of traditional and modern fine paints. This volume explores the process of making fine paints and the varying effects produced by different formulations, finishes, and painting methods. Through a wealth of illustrations and in-depth analysis, the book demonstrates what we all instinctively know: color is an essential element in interior design and decoration. The colors have names almost as rich as the history of the houses they adorn, with Passage Yellow, Feasting Green, and Cook's Blue among a panoply of hues whose origins and adaptations for the home are described here in detail. A source of inspiration for professional and amateur decorators and interior designers alike, Paint and Color in Decoration contains a wealth of ideas and practical information at a time when historic paints have never been more in fashion. About the Author Tom Helme has been at Farrow & Ball since 1992. As the adviser on interior decoration to Britain's esteemed National Trust, he developed the colors for the National Trust range of paints manufactured by Farrow & Ball. Ivan Terestchenko first began photographing interiors for Farrow & Ball in 2000. He regularly contributes to leading design and lifestyle magazines including Vogue and The World of Interiors.
