How to prepare for your paint color consultation
Posted on December 16, 2021
Initial Meeting and Quick Tour
The consultant will arrive at your home and sit with you for a few moments. The purpose of this conversation is to try to get to know you and your personal style. They will ask questions such as your likes/dislikes and any other general thoughts you may have in how you want your home to feel and look.
After the consultant gets a feel of your personal style and likes/dislikes, a quick tour of your home happens. This includes looking at the areas that are going to be painted as well as surrounding areas so that everything will blend together in the end nicely.
Tell The Consultant What YOU Want
Before the consultant arrives, we suggest having an ideal vision of what you want and making sure you let them know what YOU want. The consultant wants to please YOU more than anything and in the end wants your home to reflect YOU.
To get a head start, think about what neutrals you like best. Straws/ tans have been very popular for years but greys are on the scene now in a big way. It may even be helpful to identify colors that you have seen in other places that you liked and make a mental note.
Choose Colors YOU Like
Seeing a look fully put together helps to get a great vision of what you like! If we are painting your bedroom, seeing bedding is great! A duvet cover or even a sham or bedskirt gives us an idea of best direction to go. If you are having anything new installed, i.e. carpet, please have a sample.
The more you can paint the picture of what you already have done, the better!
Trending Colors – Advantages
Not only do our color consultants understand paint, they also understand fabrics, furniture and accessories.
They keep up with the latest trends and looks and know what is out there to buy to go with your freshly painted, beautiful new room. Some color choices lend themselves more readily to what stores like Pottery Barn, Homegoods and Pier One are featuring.
Feel free to ask your consultant anything regarding design, color, furniture, etc. There are never any stupid questions and they are delighted to help in any way they can to make this a great experience for you!
