Color Planning for Interiors An Integrated

One of the hallmarks of a successful designer is the ability to incorporate color into his or her projects and presentations. The culmination of years of research, this evidence-based approach to designing with color presents multiple color planning criteria for creating innovative color solutions in interior design. Beginning with a detailed description of the multiple facets of color that accomplished designers take into consideration, the book explores color planning through the perspective of creative problem-solving. Complementing theory and research, the book draws real-world examples from interior design projects involving noted colorists and designers. From the fundamental principles of color theory to applications of the design process, designers will find insight on all aspects of designing interiors with color.

Margaret Portillo, PhD, is Chair of the Department of Interior Design at the University of Florida in Gainesville. Dr. Portillo is a member of the Interior Design Educators Council and has chaired the IDEC Color Network. She has taught color theory to both undergraduate and graduate design students for nearly two decades and has published and presented on color and the creative process nationally and internationally.
