About This Book

A practical manual outlines the technical principles that govern successful interior color and proportion, beginning with light and the prismatic primaries and explaining how pigments differ from spectrum colors. It defines advancing and receding hues according to red, yellow, and blue dominance and links color choice to room light and dimensions. Guidance covers furnishing scale and broken heights for high or low ceilings, recommends harmonies of analogy for small rooms, advises rug placement and carpet tones to alter perceived size, and suggests picture arrangement and floor, wall, and ceiling treatments, supported by charts and diagrams for quick reference.
