New Colourful Home is a wink, a nudge, and a very polite shove toward bolder living. Curated by Emma Merry and published by ACC Art Books, this book cracks open 35 homes that chose color, confidence, and a little chaos over playing it safe.

Think walls that commit, pops that surprise, and rooms with opinions louder than a whispery neutral ever could. With juicy photography and homeowner stories that feel like design confessions, it’s part inspiration, part permission slip. Warning: may cause spontaneous paint purchases. Beige didn’t make the cut.
