Living in Colour

Living in Colour: Colour in Contemporary Interior Design, edited by the Phaidon Editors, is a visually exhilarating survey of how the world’s most adventurous interior designers are using colour — rejecting the safe neutrals of the previous decade in favour of bold, unexpected, and deeply personal chromatic choices. The book presents interiors from across the globe that use colour not as decoration but as architecture — as a structural element that shapes space, mood, and human experience. Each interior is documented with full-colour photography and commentary examining the design decisions behind it. Published by Phaidon, this is an inspiring and practical guide for anyone designing their own space, and an essential reference for design professionals who want to understand how the best contemporary designers are thinking about colour.
