Interior design books out this fall document one of the year’s strongest décor trends: color, and loads of it. Designers such as Mark D. Sikes, Markham Roberts, Katie Ridder and James Farmer all show a lively mix of color, pattern and style in their recent projects.
Every page is full of inspiration for your own projects, showing you how to mix and match — or not match at all — and love it.
