The new colourful home

Death to grey. After too many years of polite neutrals and subdued palettes, colour is finding its way back into the home. At last. Adding pops of colour to an interior is like adding a dash of spice to your favourite dish. Emma Merry has brought together 35 brilliant interiors, from jewel-bright colour-drenched spaces to sophisticated homes with unexpected splashes of colour. Alongside specially commissioned photography there are fascinating accounts of how the homeowners have injected personality into their living spaces, using colour in unusual ways to create a mood or make a statement.
