An inspiring, accessible collection of the colorful interiors at the heart of the House Beautiful

House Beautiful: Live Colorfully showcases a wide range of colorful homes, with an emphasis on spaces that have a distinctive âcolor point of view.â Maybe itâs how to pair multiple bright paints in one room, or how to build a palette from a prized textile or wallcoveringâno color is off limits. In addition to super-pigmented lacquers and a rainbow of pastels, chapters also feature neutrals such as an all-wood interior and a home in creams and whites that still has tons of personality. Each of these homes are shown across multiple spreads that feature highlights from both the interiors and exteriors. Additionally, sidebars sprinkled throughout offer a wide array of tips for both the novice and expert interior designer, including smart paint pairings, how to read a roomâs light before committing to a color, how to stencil paint onto a wall, and much more. House Beautiful: Live Colorfully will be a timeless collection of inspiring homes with all of the unexpected takeaways that readers of the magazine have loved for years.

      In this book, House Beautiful editorial director Saltz and her colleagues share colorful design inspiration. Readers looking for design ideas will find plenty of appealing color-saturated photos. The overall aesthetic presented, however, is not for everyone. The majority of the photographs feature communal living spaces so readers looking for inspiration for bedrooms and bathrooms may find this book lacking. The theme of living colorfully provides only the loosest thread to follow, as even the "neutral" and earth-tone sections feature bright colors, and hues like blue and red get their own brief sections despite the inclusion of a chapter on primary colors. Design buffs may enjoy that many of the featured homes belong to the designers themselves. VERDICT An oversized book featuring expansive photography, this may find more of an audience with collectors than with libraries.--Carrie Byrd
