Studholme and Cosby, designers for the British paint firm Farrow & Ball (F&B), spotlight the use of paint and wallpaper for domestic interiors rather than providing the usual decorating advice. An introduction to the business features a history and overview of the creation of its paint shades and wallpaper. A large portion of the book is devoted to how F&B's products have been applied in homes worldwide, with emphasis on their use for architectural details as well as on ceilings and floors. For each of the nearly 300 color photographs, the F&B shade or wallpaper is identified. The volume concludes with practical information on painting, equipment, finishes, and a list of showrooms in the UK, Europe, and North America.
VERDICT Although this is basically a dressed-up F&B catalog, the color combinations displayed furnish a wealth of decorating ideas.
