Atmosfloric - by Sean A Pritchard (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

The hotly anticipated second book from designer Sean Pritchard, author of Outside In, exploring the impact of color in the garden and how it can be displayed indoors.

Praise for Sean Pritchard's first book, Outside In:

"I devoured this sumptuously British step-by-gorgeous-step guide to when to seed, plant and pluck in a single sitting." - Richard E. Grant

"Outside In: A Year of Growing & Displaying is that rare thing - the most ridiculously beautiful coffee-table book that is also a mine of useful information when it comes to what to grow when for year-round cut flowers. His interiors aren't too shabby, either." - India Knight

"Outside In is not only stuffed full of practical advice and tips on nurturing a garden and displaying plants and flowers in the home, it is also a thing of romantic beauty. Sean's overflowing, colorful arrangements have put a smile on my face countless times: he has a natural ability to put together flowers, books, fabrics and assorted treasures in a way that feels effortless, charming and deeply personal." - Luke Edward Hall

"Armed with flower-whisperer Sean A. Prichard's new book, mom can bedeck her home with backyard-blooms year-round-or just luxuriate in the pretty pictures while sipping a nice cuppa." - Wall Street Journal

"Inventive, considered, and thoughtful design." - House & Garden

Sean Pritchard's hotly anticipated new book, Atmosfloric: The magic of flower colour in home and garden explores how to grow flowers for color and bring them indoors for visual impact and atmosphere.

The garden allows us to play with color. Unlike the colors in our interiors, color in the garden is fleeting and fickle, and with that comes an exciting opportunity to experiment with a changing performance of color month after month and to bring those colors indoors for constantly changing displays.

Colors are considered in four mood-based chapters: Hot, Soothing, Neutral and Romantic. For each chapter Sean reveals his favorite flowers to grow (with plant lists and inspirational planting plans) and shows them in a range of inspirational interiors. As with Outside In the photography is by the author, who has photographed some highly sought-after gardens and interiors in England and France.

Sean also takes a personal look at color theory and explores the relationship that gardeners and gardener-artists have had with color through history.
