Beautiful,informative,

This review is from: Colour (Hardcover)
I started watching "Changing Rooms" a few months ago when we switched to digital cable...and was hooked immediately.I like all of the designers on the show,and am amazed at the make-overs they achieve in two days.(same as the American version"Trading Spaces.")In this book,Linda explains clearly how colors are used to create certain moods,and atmosphere.The book is filled with lavish examples of how color can be used,and it also gives you an idea of what your particular likes/dislikes are color-wise.All of the "Changing Rooms" books are very well-written,and if you have a desire to create a new look in your home, this book, and all the others will be a huge help.

...a great place for anyone to start!,

This review is from: Colour (Hardcover)
For some funny reason, when I first checked out my new channel BBC American on the new super cable, I found this little show. And, I was hooked ever since. I don't like home improvement shows because most of the time they fix things that I will never do, like rebuild a classic barn with 15 carpenters and a 50k budget. Hey, I live in the city, that is never gonna happen to me. 'Changing Rooms' and their designer Linda Barker actually work on projects that can be accomplished by the average schmo, like me. And, these books, take you through step-by-step. It is a total DIY approach. Not all the designs are fluffy or build around gaudy themes (though some are, usually for fun.) Most are fun and basic ideas that can be manufactured with a small budget (like the show.) From reading through this book and Linda's 'Finishing Touches' book, I now have a much better eye for what I can do with my space, and knowing that is will not cost much in the end. Which is what true home improvement shows should be all about! If you are looking for new colors or want to redo an entire home, this is a great place to start for inspiration!
