An introduction to the general principles of using colour, and the challenges facing those who want to select colours to make the most of their living spaces, starts the book. There are then 80 pages of split-page format displaying eight different interiors - two living rooms, two kitchens, two bedrooms, and two bathrooms - one with traditional, country-style furnishings, the other with a more modern, up-to-date interior. The background colour on each page varies so that as the split sections are moved, thousands of different combinations of colours can be viewed. The book is spiral bound and protected by a plastic, wipe-clean cover, making it highly practical and user-friendly.
