Farrow & Ball How to Redecorate follows the previous success How to Decorate with a new focus on redecorating possibilities. Over three hundred photos and illustrations accompany practical advice on handling colors, building themes and logical pairings of interior design, and 'how to' instructions that are quite specific, such as how to paint a paneled door in three colors. Full-page color photos accompany these insights and efforts to provide clarity to discussions that cover everything from using cornices and mouldings to understanding how architectural neutrals can reinforce the desired industrial feel of a home. In short, Farrow & Ball How to Redecorate should be the first step used by a potential designer or renovator. Thus, it should be in any library that appeals to homeowners, interior designers, and those who would redecorate with a more informed attention to modern trends and appearances.
