Ever hear of color anxiety?
Many people believe they haven’t an “eye” for color, which makes them leery about specifying unique and varying shades of paint. After all, a painting project is a significant investment. So it’s tempting to “play it safe.”
Unfortunately, that’s how people oftentimes end up with four pale walls that fail to emphasize the unique dimensions, features, or furniture within an interior space. It’s also how they end up with exterior colors that don’t compliment or improve the outdoor appeal of their property.
Remember: you’re in control!
People often worry that a professional color consultant might suggest a color scheme that they won’t like—and maybe should like—but don’t know how to assess. So they avoid the whole enterprise and put beige everywhere. But professional color consultants are expert at executing your tastes, not theirs or anyone else’s. It’s all about you.
So how does a professional color consultant make recommendations?
A professional color consultant will interview you about some decorating variables that are typically overlooked by do-it-yourself decorators. For example:
What furniture, carpeting, and window treatments are staying?
Are any being replaced?
Will there be anything new in the space that isn’t there now?
Are your winter bedspread and accents different from your summertime ones?
With such information in hand, a professional color consultant will note the dominant shades that you tend to choose for your furniture, upholstery, and window treatments. If you own patterned upholstery, an oriental rug, or a large piece of artwork, she might select the colors that excite you most from inside them. Likewise, where neutrals are called for, a professional color consultant might recommend the specific whites and tans she finds inside your upholstery, rugs, or artwork—not some off-the-shelf beige from the Big Box home improvement center.
