Colour consultation is a process that many homeowners take for granted when building or renovating their place. With all the fancy furniture and luxury fixtures that can be used to dress up your home, it’s easy to pass on colour schemes altogether. However, a room’s colour palette is usually the thing that really ties the whole space together, and good colour choices can take your home’s design to a whole new level.
Your colour choices can make or break the atmosphere of your home. If you’re perfectly satisfied to go with tried and tested neutrals for your entire home, then you probably think that a colour consultation is just a trivial part of designing your space. In fact, many homeowners build their new homes or complete their renovations without the help of an interior decorator, much less a colour consultant. But if you want a home that can really showcase your personality, give just the right ambience, and ooze style, a colour consultant can definitely help you out.
So you probably know that you want a red kitchen, a yellow bedroom, and a blue living room, but knowing what basic colours you want is no guarantee that you can make them work. A colour consultant can take your preferences and combine them with their knowledge of colour psychology and trends to create the perfect atmosphere for your home.
Colour consultants aren’t just familiar with blue and all its undertones or the 50 shades of green that you can choose from. They’re also experts at the different types of paint and surfaces. They know how a shade of brown that looks amazing on wood won’t look as good on concrete. They know how lighting conditions can make that perfect shade of red on the paint swatch turn into a garish orange on your walls.
They’re also not limited to helping you choose paint colours. Colour consultants can also offer advice on your furnishings, including curtains, artwork, and so on. They’re not limited to interior design as well. By helping you choose the perfect colours for your home’s exterior, a colour consultant can really help you boost your curb appeal.

Colour consultation is a very collaborative process, so you will be giving just as much input to your colour consultant as they will give you advice. You might even have to do most of the talking since a lot of your colour consultant’s advice will come from your preferences, style, and personality. If you’re going for a colour consultation, it’s really helpful to determine your colour preferences beforehand. This can be as simple as knowing that you want to include some purple in your bedroom or that you want your bathroom to have a beach-themed colour scheme. You can even give them photos of your design inspirations.
A colour consultant will also need to visit your home, especially if you’re having a consultation for a renovation. They will have to make sure that the room will still go with your existing furniture and that it will flow well with the other rooms in your home.
