William Yeoward: Blue and White and Other Stories

In his most personal book to date, William Yeoward reveals his passion for colour, his inspirations and the "stories" behind his unique use of colour as he takes you on a journey through a dazzling array of beautiful homes.

Known for his chic and stylish colour combinations, William Yeoward reveals his colour secrets, starting with the classic combination of blue and white – there are cobalt silk sofas, indigo linen armchairs, aquamarine and white patterned ceramics and sapphire plush cushions, all combined to evoke a sense of luxury, in William's trademark style. The unique colour stories in the book include red, white and blue in a villa in France, a comfortable coastal retreat with hints of pink, taking you through to lavender and amethyst in the country and the city, soft grey studies in living rooms and table settings, a blazing ochre red contemporary cottage, an orange rustic barn dinner, and a red and steel outdoor kitchen. This is William’s fourth book and is the first one to focus on his passion for colour and the sumptuous interiors that can be created by focusing on details and by layering opulent textures, prints and proportions.
