Living with Pattern: Color, Texture, and Print at Home

Great source for design information when decorating your home. Haven’t found the time to really pour over the contents yet. It was highly recommend by a designer friend of mine. The book pages are edged in bright orange which makes this book stand out when stacked on top of other books. Very pretty and clever!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! Although some of the styling is a little eclectic for me, I love the writing style and for the most part the decor (i.e., light walls, texture, contrast, pops of color, antiques, unusual accents). There is a section at the front that discusses how to put together color and pattern and balance them, with pictures. It starts with warm and cool neutrals, adding intensity with color and then including saturated and accent color. If you are not in the design world (and I am not), this is an informative chapter. I know I will refer back to it again and again. Our children are grown and we are slowing working through the house to freshen the decor. I am so happy to find this wonderful book! Bonus - Several do-it-yourself projects, and three pages of resources at the end.

Very pleased with purchase. The book is in excellent condition. Would certainly purchase from this Bookseller again. Thank you.

When you are starting out in decorating you want to get educated but the bottom line you want to start doing it. The book is solid but it really is less about patterns then it is about how the author goes about in creating a space. Most top interior decorators got the "pattern" part correctly. It might be an eye openers for some but I think if that is the case then this book is for you and it is meant to keep your eye open for something that you need assistance with. There are plenty of interior decorating books out there and somehow pattern is not called out but organically is part of creating the space.

One of my favorite design books and now it’s perfect on my coffee table!

Oh my goodness! I love this book! It takes you, a novice with no experience in interior design, and goes through the process of helping you understand the relationship between color and texture to make your home amazing. It gives recommendations room by room to help you be aware of the potential ideas to make your house look fabulous. Are you a wanna-be (or actual) hippie who wants to use those psychedelic '60s colors? This book will teach you how to incorporate those designs into a workable, non-drug induced pattern. Do you love that baby diarrhea '70s yellow? This book will teach you how to match that color with other patterns and colors for an aesthetically pleasing look.

This is a wonderful resource filled with insightful writing, beautiful photographs, and sweet painted scenes. This book goes farther than simply talking about scale, or what to put together with what, it helps you to see what you already own in a new way or if you want to buy something, how to visualize it in your space. Often with books like these, there are lots of "projects" that I don't care about taking over half the book, and this is not the case here! The majority of the book is actual content- and the projects are things I am actually interested in, that relate to the book. I was thoroughly impressed with everything about this book, and I know that it will be a staple in my collection. Plus, its absolutely beautiful on your coffee table or shelf. Such a lovely book, Rebecca- I will be referencing it for a long time.

Love this book- a great read and even better display piece. 10/10

I was expected somehting asethtically beautiful and very interesting, but was sorely dissapointed

An amazing book on the theme of patterns.

Livro de excelente qualidade, lindo, entrega rápida e segura.

The Book arrived damaged. The corners were bent and spine was loose . The cover was pretty but I don’t know if I would purchase this book again it was just OK.

Pedi 2 livros da autora que é hype dentre a crítica. Que os criticos fiquem com ela, os livros não possuem nada demais.
