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”.
If you’re also a bit beside yourself at the news of this book release, and can’t wait to get your hands on a copy (it’s out Mach 25), then hit the competition below and win yourself one!

Ive read all the comments and they are all so deserving of the win! I agree with everyone about how clever Shaynna is with colour and styling, so ditto from me. We all need help choosing colour for our homes as its such a complex subject. Chris can you get more books and give us all one please??
I need help!! I live in a miss matched world of colour with no style
This book needs to be in my life! I’m living in a fantastic house that really suits our family, but with white walls, whit floor tiles, white kitchen, white everything. I need a colour injection!
I always receive some compliments on my apartment decorating styles. My family and friends say that my styles are chic and trendy although they would love to see some POP in colours! I tend to stick to my Black and White theme. They look kind of contemporary but to be honest, it gets boring now! My hubby thinks I should try some turquoise, yellows, etc. but I still cannot put my mind into it. I fear I may go matchy-matchy or the style would easily go out of season. Shaynna’s DECORATING WISDOM might be my Golden ticket (should I say Book), to a colourful life!
I’m in a rut trying to make our new house a home…Shaynna’s guidance is very much needed atm!!!
Love Shaynnas style. I have 4 months to style my home before it goes on the market for sale. I seriously need help this is my last house before retirement so I need to get it right or it will be a life of poverty for me
I need this book because I need more colour & style in my life!!
I gained so much inspiration from her first book that I finally took the plunge to go back to uni and study interior design! Would love her new one to keep me motivated throughout all my assignments, ( and to make my coffee table look ever better!)
Oh my goodness! I just bought a fabulous derelict warehouse & I must have this book to help me bring it up to its full beautiful potential! X
Mission brown and apricot, say no more.
