Sj Axelby'S Interior Portraits: Homes Of Leading Creatives Explored Through Gorgeous Watercolour Painting - 9781911682585

There is a long tradition of painting rooms to provide a record of grand homes, giving a glimpse into the life and times of previous generations. Today there is a resurgence of interest in our living spaces, but there is no book in the tradition of room portraiture to inspire you. SJ Axelby's Interior Portraits will take you into the unique and colourful homes of 89 leading designers, seen through the artist's eye of Sarah-Jane Axelby. Creating an authentic and characterful scheme is much like the composition of a painting: the shape, form, contrast, colour, pattern and texture all need to work in harmony. This pictorial guide includes not only Sarah-Jane's original watercolours but scrapbook pages annotated with design wisdom from each room's owners, which will enthuse and empower the reader to try new ideas in their own homes. The owners of the rooms featured here make a creative who's who of the international design world, creating mouthwatering compositions bursting with colour and pattern and displaying the true joy of a home that reflects its owner's personality.
