In Pale & Interesting (2011 Ryland Peters & Small), U.K.-based husband/wife designer duo Dave Coote and Atlanta Bartlett reveal the prettiest ways to use creams, whites, chalky pastels, earthy naturals, understated neutrals, and muted vintage shades like pink, blue and grey to create a warm yet versatile home. The fresh and inviting interiors in the book were inspired by their online homeware boutique, also called Pale & Interesting, and they've curated them into simple categories such as shades of pale, texture and form, and mixing it up. Browse selections from the book and discover how to lighten up your own home.
