Colour Consultation & Interior Design Services

Home Painters York has been leaders in the business of painting houses for over twenty-five years. We’ve seen the trends come and go. In fact, when we got started shag carpets were all the rage!  Trends like that change, but good style and colour stands the test of time.

Our professional painters have painted more than 50-shades of grey. They have painted walls in every color you can possibly imagine. They’ve seen what looks good and what might only look good for certain tastes.

But don’t worry. We don’t just rely on our painters to lead clients to the right colour.  Don’t get us wrong, our painters know what looks good. After all, they’ve painted it all.  They know how light will affect a hue. They know how some colours will cast differently depending on the undertone, light and other factors.  We also have professional color consultants to help you choose the right paint colours for your home.

One of our color consultants will come to your home to look at your living space. We have good interior ideas for living rooms. They will then provide you with their professional opinion on colour and finish combinations that could be right for your home.

Professional Colour Consultations

What is a color expert?Choosing a paint colour can be a difficult task.  Send your husband to the paint store asking for a light grey and he might get stumped.  After all, the lighting in a paint store is different than the lighting in your home. Your light grey could end up looking white, blue, green or even purple once it ends up on your walls.  You could blame him for getting the wrong shade, but with so many shades of grey, how is he to choose?  In fact, how are you to choose? If you are not experienced in the science behind colour, undertones, and lighting, it’s wise to get a professional colour consultation to help you pick the right colour for your home.

Here are some of the most common variables for Interior designers  to consider when selecting a colour

• Purpose of the space- kitchen, dining room, bedroom, bathroom,..
• Flooring – material, and colour
• Design appeal – both inside and out
• Lighting
• Size of room, for example, small living room design
• Furniture
• Window coverings
• Paintings and wall hangings
• Design trends
• Colour Undertone

Why Get a Paint Colour Consultation?

There are many reasons people want professional advice before selecting a paint colour.  Some of the most common reasons are as follows:

Assistance with final selection – you may know you want your space painted a certain colour but it can help to have a professional guide you with your final selection. That will give you the confidence you need to move forward with your project.

Colour selection – some people have a hard time even narrowing down a color.  Ahome color consultant can show you current trends and ideas that would work well in your home.

Selling a home – your tastes might be different than a potential buyer’s tastest.  Generally speaking, it is recommended to go neutral when painting your home. A color consultant will advise on what neutral colour is trending and will look best in your home.

Colour science – you might know almost exactly the colour you want in your home, but you might not realize that once it is up on your walls it won’t look the same as it does on someone else’s. In fact, a different colour code might be more suitable for what you want your final look to be. Your lighting, furniture and trim colour could cause an undertone to be more visible or more subtle. So, before you choose a colour based on what you’ve seen in a magazine or someone else’s home, it’s wise to get a professional opinion.
