Are you in the market for a home renovation? No matter what room you’re looking to redo, changing the color of the walls is one of the first steps to transforming a space. Some homeowners have a particular color family in mind but are unsure of what shade would look best with their flooring or furnishings, while other homeowners are completely at a loss when it comes to choosing the right color. That’s where color consultants come in!
Discover what happens when you bring in a color expert to help you choose the paint color for your home renovation.
It’s a collaborative process. A color consultant will visit you in your home so that they can properly visualize the space. Then, you’ll have a conversation to discuss your vision for the room, as well as the color schemes you absolutely love and those you absolutely hate. From there, you and your color consultant will explore the array of color options available for your particular project, making adjustments along the way.
You’ll look at a lot of samples. Did you know that there are 50+ shades in the neutral family? You may have a color family picked out, but that doesn’t mean you’ll have 2-3 shades to choose from. With so many colors in the color spectrum, you’ll have your work cut out! A color consultant will come with a variety of samples for you to comb through in the space so that you can see what each looks like in different lights and against different floors and furnishings.
Color consultations take time. Initially, a color consultant may set up a quick phone call to get to know a little bit about the room you’re looking to renovate. From there, they’ll set up an in-person meeting where they can explore the space. This can turn into multiple meetings, depending on the size of the space and the transformation you want to see made.
You play a big role. It may seem like a color consultant is solely responsible for choosing the right colors for your project, but you play an equally important part! Your interests are vital in allowing a color consultant to choose the shades and hues that are going to make you love your space. Be prepared to show your color consultant some of your favorite home design styles. This can include everything from magazine clippings to fabric swatches and decorative accents.
A good color consultant will steer you in the right direction and help you choose colors that will stand up to the test of time. Moreover, they’ll open your eyes to colors and styles that you may not have considered before! Doubting yourself? Contact the color experts at CertaPro Painters of Lexington/Concord, MA.
