How to harness the power of Benjamin Moore color.

Interior designers and architects are big fans of Benjamin Moore paints, which offer innovative color selections, high quality and long-lasting durability. These products excel in providing decorative effects, which are becoming more subtle and elegant in tone and texture. They also ideally suit graphics and geometrics, which rely on vibrant colors that are clear and true.

Paint Style is a practical guide to using color and decorative effects for revitalizing a tired decor or providing a perfect finishing touch. Examples in the book show what many of the most popular finishes look like in "real life." Lesley Riva chooses the best of classic and contemporary work from leading interior designers.

More than 50 projects are included. Each one is rated by skill level and describes the techniques used, identifies the specific Benjamin Moore colors, and includes step-by-step instructions.

Paint Style also features:

• Glazing, stenciling, stamping, geometrics, texture and faux finishes
• Essential skills and tips for success
• Technique lessons and tools of the trade
• Tips on using a color wheel and choosing a palette
• On-location photographs with detailed captions
• A glossary of color descriptions.

With its true-to-life professional examples, carefully set-out projects and insider tips, Paint Style provides both information and inspiration.

Useful tool; well thought out and clearly illustrated -
What is probably most useful about this book are the large pictures of finished projects. No matter how confused you are about what you want to do, this book covers so many different styles, colors, and kinds of projects that you should find inspiration here.

I really enjoyed the vivid differences between the styles. So if you are going very modern, geometric designs, like those on page 113 will be useful. If you favor blue and white country, there are plenty of cozy, stenciled rooms. And for those who love tradition, you are bound to enjoy the lavish antiques and fabulously ornate ceiling on page 19.

The books covers glazing, stenciling, stamping, geometric, textures and faux finishes. It delves into historical uses of color and how to chose a color palate.

Paint Style: The New Approach to Decorative Paint Finishes -
I've only had a chance to look through this book once. However it does seem to have information on water based paints, which I use exclusively. Mostly in technic. I'm glad I purchased it.
