Language of this book is written in dutch.

In Colours with a Story, Brenda Baart shows that colour is never just colour. Every shade carries emotion, memory and atmosphere. This book explores how colour plays a leading role in interior design and how paint, fabrics, wallpaper and decoration come together to form a balanced and personal whole.

The book guides you through:

• how colours influence mood, calm and energy

• how to transform a space with paint, without major renovations

• how different materials enhance one another

• and how to create an interior that truly reflects who you are

There is a strong focus on eclectic interiors — interiors that grow organically and are not bound by fixed rules. Old and new, bold and calm, emotion and logic coexist. Through beautiful examples and personal stories, the book gives you both inspiration and confidence to start creating yourself.

This is not a trend-driven book, but a timeless source of inspiration. A book to keep, revisit and rediscover — again and again.
