Description
Bring a rainbow of joy into your life with colourful home design and decor inspiration. The Rainbow Home features hundreds of easy DIYs and tips from leading home influencers for homeowners, renters, and anyone inspired by colour. Many homes have colour in them, but a rainbow home is one that uses colour in a particular way. This could be a bright pop of surprising colour, a room that pairs clashing colours, an intense use of pattern, or a clear rainbow effect. The overall feel is that the colour is there to bring joy and to create a home that is extremely personal and unique.
Like Pinterest at your fingertips, The Rainbow Home is the go-to reference book that makes it easy to define your own rainbow style and add colour anywhere in your home. Divided by area (house front and doorways, hallways and stairs, living spaces, kitchens, eating and entertaining, sleeping spaces, bath and relaxation, home offices and craft rooms, storage solutions, and outdoor space), each chapter includes:
- Lots of clever DIYs, purchasable ideas, and photographic inspiration.
- An exploration of the three distinct “types” of rainbow colours: dopamine brights (intense bold and joyful colours), playful pastels (nostalgic and sweeter chromas), and uplifting neons (electric and punchy hues).
- A deeper dive into specific colours, breaking down the benefits of each, how to choose which shade is right for you, and a colour pairing guide.
- Feature profiles on notable décor personalities, taking a peek into their colourful homes and sharing their advice, including such luminaries as Evie Kemp (@eviekemp), Stasia Buckle (@stasiabuckle), Maye Ruiz (@mayeruz), Lizzy Hingham (@lizzyhigham_interiorstyling), Shareen and Martin (@happyvillageinterior), and Sisi Alfred (@homewithsisi).
A brilliant interior design coffee table book, The Rainbow Home is outstanding as a self-purchase for colour enthusiasts, a housewarming present, or a handy guidebook for designers, stylists, colour consultants, decorators, and creatives of all types.
THOUSANDS OF DÉCOR IDEAS: Over 600 images with corresponding ideas and tips are included, so you’ll never run out of inspiration for your home.
LEADING DÉCOR EXPERTS: This irresistibly aesthetic book features the dazzling homes and interiors of top #rainbowhome influencers who share their seasoned advice for making your home feel fun and colourful.
RENTER-FRIENDLY TIPS & TRICKS: Much of the book’s advice is adaptable to a wide variety of spaces and budgets. Decorative paint and décor can be temporary or easily removed, so you don’t have to sacrifice your deposit to have a colourful home!

About the Author
Laura Perryman has ten years of experience as a designer and trend forecaster. Her ethos is that the use of color should be innovative, well-considered, and, above all, purposeful. Perryman’s work has featured in Architectural Digest, House & Garden, and Business Week. She was the recipient of a prestigious color award from the Society of Dyers and Colourists, and her innovative surface designs received the prize for Inclusive Interior: Design for Our Future Selves from CABE, the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment.
Perryman regularly lectures at universities, including the Chelsea College of Arts, University of the Arts London, and Bucks New University. She also talks internationally about the powerful impact of color, material design, and what insights and trends to look out for, most recently at Luxe Pack Shanghai, Stockholm Furniture Fair, and the London Design Festival. In the past ten years, Laura has brought this specialist knowledge into play for brands as diverse and forward-thinking as 3M, Habitat, and Panasonic Europe. Perryman currently runs Color of Saying, a consultancy that specializes in future-forward design with color and materials.
