Colour ConsultationWE GO TO GREAT LENGTHS FOR YOUR SPACE TO REACH IT FULL POTENTIAL
Your home is your sanctuary. It’s a place where your ideas, your inspirations, your travels and experience come to life, like a physical hall of memories and personality. It can be decorated in any of a myriad of styles, done to your exact tastes, a reflection of your innermost thoughts, dreams and desires. Your home is who you are inside, expressed outwardly, the incarnation of the Self. Though it can be used to display light and life, it’s not something to be taken lightly.

Colours have a profound effect on your home’s appearance; what you’ll use for most of the exterior, the trim and the door gives guests an idea of what kind of person you are. It’s a snapshot, of course, but one that will get the questions started. A house with deep navy blues or greys might emanate a regal formality that shows your serious, professional side. A house done up in cheery yellows with a bright red door might instead show how inviting and playful you are. The exterior gives a sense of what’s to come; how you want to be seen by the outside world.

Once inside, there are even more things to consider. How does the entryway of your house lead a person, psychologically, from the outside to the inside? A drastic shift in tone might come across as startling and unsettling, so if your interior has different colours than the exterior it’s best to use the entryway transitionally; incorporate elements of the exterior and the interior in order to guide people inside. Now that you’re in, how is each room painted? Are you accounting for the psychology of colour when you’re painting each room? You might opt for cooler colours in relaxing rooms, and brighter ones in rooms where you want to encourage dialogue and appetite. Do the colours flow well from room to room, giving each one a distinct personality while retaining the overall aesthetic?

You’ve also got to consider trends; grey-on-grey might be trending right now, but is it classic; will it withstand the test of time? You want a look that’s modern, that will draw looks of appreciation from your guests, but you want to avoid colours that are a passing fad, so your house doesn’t look dated in three years (unless you want to repaint every time a new trend comes around)!
