If you want to introduce colour into your home but don't know where to start or are too scared to take the plunge, this book guides you through how to get started. Divided into three parts:

- Understanding Colour: Explains how colour works and the basic groups of warm, cool and neutral tones and the different moods they create.
- Colour Schemes: Discusses accents, focal points, background, colours, coordinating colours, harmonious schemes, vibrant and graphic schemes, as well as inspiring ideas for every room in the home.
- Practical Colour: Illustrates the different effects of materials, texture and finishes including paints, papers, fabric, flooring, lighting, fixtures, fittings and display. Contains 100 colour photographs of inspiring colour schemes and ideas to create a harmonious interior.

Part visual biography and part guided tour, Terence Conran's Inspiration is his most personal book to date. With his home as the starting point, Terence Conran opens our eyes to the source of his inspiration. Firstly a family home, it has also been a centre of his Habitat design business, a laboratory for testing recipes and writing cookery books, a location for endless photoshoots, a working fruit and vegetable and herb garden -supplying produce for the Conran Restaurants - and a thriving factory and studio, producing commercial and domestic furniture. So in every sense, his house as we see it today, is a centre of creative energy. But it is also - through the style and choice of its furniture and furnishings - a window onto the outside world; of design, travel, art and industry. Through the objects that Terence has collected and the things he finds on his travels, we can learn not only about the man behind a multi-million pound empire, but the process that stimulates his creativity.

The ultimate garden design book: a visual delight covering all aspects of working and living in your garden - stunning photographs of gardens from around the world.
The contemporary garden carries a profound connection both to the environment and to the range of activities - relaxing, entertaining, working - that characterize today's lifestyle. A collaboration between a distinguished style setter and a noted garden designer, Outdoors presents the principles of imaginative and innovative landscape design, providing readers with useful knowledge and also with inspiration from diverse sources: history, media, fashion, architecture.
Thematic chapters present a wide variety of successful gardens developed for specific purposes. Formal urban gardens on rooftops are explored, as are free-form rural landscapes, backyards devised to encourage children's imaginations, and spaces planned primarily for al fresco entertaining. Extensively illustrated case studies demonstrate inventive design on a grand scale as well as the creative detailing that sets one garden apart from another. In these sections, professionally designed gardens are explored methodically to reveal techniques behind planning and layout, planting choices, intended uses, and relation to the larger landscape. A special focus on conservation philosophies addresses wildlife, recycling, and water-wise gardening. Also included are a step-by-step guide to planning a garden, advice on selecting and working with a garden designer, and an extensive catalog of plants, with scientific names, foliage and bloom descriptions, and planting suggestions.
The authors engage in a lively dialogue, discussing their personal insight into the early and main influences on their work, how garden design has evolved, its current place in design as a whole, and the journey that it will take throughout the century. Their very different styles provide readers with both practical knowledge and confidence to seek inspiration for their gardens.
