KNYGA Ros Byam Shaw Farrow & Ball Colour Stories

Be inspired by real homes featuring timeless paints and wallpapers from the iconic brand Farrow & Ball, from subtle Setting Plaster and Elephant’s Breath to bold Hague Blue and Green Smoke.Farrow & Ball began in the 1940s as a small firm based in south-west England, specializing in paints made in the traditional way. Despite its success, the brand has stayed true to these origins. It is the quality of the paint, with its exceptional depth and subtlety of color, that has made the company famous worldwide. Farrow & Ball paints look as good on the walls of a contemporary apartment as they do in a period ballroom and are as perfect for a cottage as in a castle. Divided into chapters according to style, including Classical, City, Modern Country, Cottage and Country House, the first part of the book shows Farrow & Ball paints and wallpapers in a wide range of unusual and beautiful interiors. Part Two of the book is devoted to color. From the themes of All White and In Neutral to Softly, Softly and Bright and Beautiful, each chapter explores a particular palette and shows how color can be used to create atmosphere, character and charm. Inspiring, instructive, celebratory, this book brings out the painter and decorator in us all.
