Titles in This Set:
In the Mood for Colour
Botanical Style

Condition: BRAND NEW
Format: Hardcover

Overview:
Two beautifully complementary hardcover volumes invite you to rethink how color and nature shape home life. In In the Mood for Colour, Hans Blomquist reveals that colour isn’t merely paint on a wall—it’s a language for mood, atmosphere and everyday comfort. He shares his personal palette approach, guiding you from quiet neutrals to vibrant accents, with practical advice on pairing fabrics, finishes and light to craft rooms that feel calm, dynamic, or moody depending on your intention. Botanical Style, by Selina Lake, brings the outdoors inside with a plant-forward sensibility. The opening Botanical Inspirations chapter surveys the look’s ingredients—antique botanical prints, flower stalls, potting sheds and houseplants—and then the author leads readers through five facets of the botanical look, offering accessible projects, styling ideas and care tips. Together, these two hardback guides form a complete home-styling toolkit: a trusted source of method and imagination for readers who want spaces that feel soulful, lived-in and distinctly their own.

What Makes This Collection Special:
Where one book teaches mood through color and light, the other translates biology into beautiful spaces. This set pairs two distinct design sensibilities from respected voices in UK interiors, delivering a coherent approach to decorating that’s practical yet aspirational. You’ll learn how to build a color story first, then layer in living elements to soften edges, connect rooms and tell a personal home narrative. The collection is ideal for anyone undertaking a room refresh, from first-time decorators to seasoned creatives seeking fresh inspiration. The hardcover format ensures a premium, durable reference with coffee-table-worthy visuals, making it an excellent gift for housewarmings, new homes or design lovers who crave lasting style rather than quick fixes.

Books Included in This Collection:
In the Mood for Colour
Unlock the mood-enhancing power of color with Hans Blomquist’s signature approach. This book blends nature-inspired palettes with tactile textures—linen, stone, wood, and clay—that invite touch as well as sight. It offers practical, room-by-room guidance on selecting paint, wallpaper and furnishings that harmonize with light and architecture. The result is spaces that support mood—calm, energised, or dramatically intimate—without sacrificing comfort. The hardcover format elevates the experience, turning it into a durable reference and a visual centerpiece on any design bookshelf, encouraging readers to experiment with palettes and textures with confidence.

Rich imagery and clear layouts support easy replication, whether you’re reviving a living room or crafting a tranquil bedroom retreat.
