About

Learn how to use color to create a vibrant living space, a wardrobe you love, and a life filled with wonder in this practical guide from the color expert and DIY maven behind “The Crafted Life.”

Color can influence your feelings, affect your moods, control how you interact with your home, and even change how you feel about yourself. In “Colorful Living”, writer, photographer, and the nation's biggest color enthusiast Rachel Mae Smith explains why color is so powerful and how you can use it to brighten up your world.

After a fascinating (and painless!) introduction to color theory, Rachel takes you step by step through your home (walls, furniture, decor, art), your closet (clothing, jewelry, shoes, accessories), and other aspects of your lifestyle, sharing simple, creative, and fun ways to add pops of your desired colors everywhere. Identify your favorite shades and create a calming reading nook, a power outfit to take on the world in, or an entryway that makes guests feel welcome.

Easy-to-follow exercises help you define your personal color palette and inspire you to harness the power of color in your life. Rachel's ideas are accessible, affordable, and designed for longevity-because when you mindfully choose items based on colors and styles that make you happy (versus those that social media says you should buy), you're more likely to love what you have.

This one-of-a-kind, vividly illustrated guide to color will help you liven up your life, whether you love chartreuse, light gray, hot pink, haint blue-or all four at the same time.
