Colour decisions made easier

Our Colour Consultancy Service offers 90 minutes of focused, in-home advice to help you make confident colour choices for up to four rooms.

On the day, we will visit you in your home, exploring how the natural light shifts throughout the day, how your existing furnishings or architectural details might influence colour and how to create flow between the rooms you’re refreshing. Our expert knowledge of colour, materials and finish will help you move forward with clarity, free from decision paralysis.

We’ll arrange for paint samples to be delivered to your door, provide guidance on how to test them properly and follow up to talk through your preference and answer any final questions you have. 

At the heart of this service is expertise you can trust and advice that’s entirely tailored to you, not driven by product partnerships. Just the right colours and finishes for your home, chosen with care.

How it works

Step 1

Pre-visit questionnaire

Before we visit, you’ll complete a short questionnaire covering the essentials, like your home’s orientation, your preferred style and any colours you already love (or want to avoid). We will also agree which four rooms you would like us to focus our time on.

Step 2

Your home visit

We’ll walk through each pre-agreed room and discuss your preferences in more detail before making our recommendations. We’ll arrange one complimentary sample for each of the rooms to be delivered to you along with guidance on how to test paint samples properly, including tips for applying them, moving them around your space and viewing them in different lights before committing.  We can advise or order additional paint or wallpapering samples at the same time.

Step 3

After our visit

We’ll follow up after a week to talk through your sample preferences and answer any final questions before we place your order. We can also liaise directly with your decorator, recommend a trusted professional or advise on quantities, finishes and colour mixing where appropriate.
