You know I have a crush on Shaynna Blaze.
I’ve made no secret of it on the blog before. An award-winning interior designer, leading lady of The Block and Selling Houses Australia, colour creative director of Taubmans and now a twice-published author. Really, is there anything she can’t do. Oh, did I forget to mention the singing? Yeah, it’s safe to say Shaynna is a septuple threat – or something along those lines.
I am so excited that her second book, Design with Colour and Style, has just landed. What Shaynna does so well in this release is take you on a step by step journey through the process of designing with colour – learning about its impact and how it can work in different spaces. She’ll also help you find your colour – and show you how to rock it at home – as well as outlining how to layer a space with different elements to make a room feel resolved.
Shaynna also touches on light and reflection, patterns and textures, colour balance and more.
This is a comprehensive go-to guide with a stack of wonderfully styled photographs that put the elements discussed into practice.
“I’m incredibly excited about my new book,” Shaynna tells me. “It is full of creative and informative text and pictures for people to really get an understanding of how to use colour to their advantage – and work out their own personal style”.

Shaynna is all I would like to be. If I could have dinner with anyone in the world, I would choose Shaynna Blaze. She is an all round Australian. She will try anything. So much talent in such a wonderful package. She is my idol.
If this book does not help with my decorating dilemma nothing else will. I have complete faith in Shaynna
Fantastic – there needs to be more design books on colour out there. Everyone needs to stop painting all white walls –even though it’s totally scary. We all don’t want to make mistakes though and feel silly about our colour choices. I’m sure Shaynna gives us some perfect guidance in this book
Shaynna Blaze is the go to guru of Interior Design! Loved her book “Design your home” which I regularly refer to when i need that extra bit of guidance.
Lately , Ive been watching the Block and scouring the internet for ideas on how to redecorate my bedroom and colour seems to be my number one challenge! I can’t seem to decide on what colour curtains and walls will go with my newly upholstered dark grey headboard!
Shaynna’s new book will definitely help me in the right direction to a beautifully decorated room that I’ve never really had before. I believe that once you have the colour scheme sorted out then everything else falls into place and shopping for accessories and bed linen becomes easier. Shaynna’s book would definitely remove the guesswork out of choosing the right colours for my bedroom!
As a decorator and colour consultant, I’m always grasping for more knowledge. I crave info from other designers, as everyone has their own magic tips and tricks. Love Shayna and can’t wait to be inspired all over again. ☺️
I love Shaynna too – she has a wicked laugh – love it! Ive been a huge fan from the early days of ‘SElling houses’ Australia. Id love her book because we are planning to build so need the interior inspiration! She knows her stuff!
My two girls (9 and 11) and I are huge block fans. We watch every episode together. We have just recently bought a new place after separation and they decided to buy a renovators delight, over a newish unit! So here we are with a brick circa 70’s house in the suburbs of Melb. Three girls on a tight budget, on the tools and renovating on our own with inspiration from the block. So far we have added some colour to two bedrooms, and done our best with a colourful makeover in the kitchen (doing our best to do what we can around the hideous orange bench top).
We are doing our best to do the reno on a tight budget but also keep it fun, colourful and classy. Desperately need ideas for the main living areas in our small house, Shaynna’s inspiration for these areas would be greatly appreciated. Our place is pretty small and you walk straight into the lounge area…very important we get it right.
With every part of the house needing renovating and redecorating, these girls could do with a little help to say the least. And when were finished the lounge….Shaynna’s book could be a welcome addition to our new coffee table!
WOW!
I would love this book
I need it desperately, as I need to learn to PULL BACK a bit.
I love colour and have dark purple walls, red walls and mustard coloured walls but I don’t know how to decorate these rooms.
My rooms look immature and a mish mash of everything. I want colour and sophistication. I know Shaynna can help me with this beautiful looking new book of hers. X
Finally realising that buying everything in the same colour is NOT working for me…getting there slowly but the internet sometimes provides too much information..its more confusing, now what I need is a “Bible” from a guru…oh Shaynna I think you would be perfect for me!!!
Wow – what a fantastic prize. Shaynna and all her wisdom, ideas, colour forecast and room innovation all in one book – I really must have this please.
