Guild is known for her bold fabric and wallpaper collections and her ability to use colour and pattern in decoration. Her mixing of large and small-scale patterns in a variety of contrasting colours, finishes and textures, is renowned throughout the world, and can be seen in the room sets that illustrate this book.
Tricia Guild's gift for colour, her understanding of space and proportion, her brilliance at mixing pattern and her feminine view of the world make her collections and the rooms in which they are applied considered stylish and beautiful. Over the years her collections have varied from hot colours to cool shades of white, from floral prints in every shape and size to stripes and plaids, yet in every case they are recognisable as designs by Tricia Guild. Tricia now presents a collection of international locations decorated with her designs. This is a confident statement encapsulating everything that is memorable about her, certain, style. Each of the fourteen locations featured in the book is viewed throughout, to show how Tricia enhances different types of room and connects spaces. Plus, Elspeth Thompson's descriptive text interprets how each effect is achieved and James Merrell's state-of-the-art photography makes every room glow with light and colour.
