Focus on Colour Consultancy

Our beautiful natural paints will transform your home with colour and tonal harmony. If you’re not sure where to start, our expert colour consultants are available to give guidance that will transform an overwhelming process into a creative and enjoyable one. By working with you to design a bespoke palette, either online, in your home, or at our London showroom our colour consultants will help you feel confident that the colours you choose have been carefully selected to work in your space and align with your vision.

Following are a few case studies with before and after images, to show what a difference choosing to have a colour consultancy can make to your home.

 

Amy Bannerman, eBay’s pre-loved style director moved to a coastal cottage in Hastings and received some colour advice via our 30 minute virtual colour consultancy. One of our knowledgeable team helped Amy decide on a colour scheme for her bedroom. As can often be the case, Amy found the many colour possibilities overwhelming. She had used our Invisible Green in her home in London and loved it, so knew she wanted to use it again in her new home. The bespoke palette she settled on includes Portland on the walls and a playfully painted bedroom door in Invisible Green. The remaining woodwork is painted in Clove.

With the help of our colour consultants, Amy Eld’s Pimlico flat was transformed into a bright and colourful home. An antiques dealer and interior stylist, Amy is a real interiors expert, but when it came to decisions on paint colours she admitted that some extra help was needed. Our in house colour consultancy was perfect for Amy as she was transforming the entire house.

The before and after images illustrate better than any words how colour can transform a space, with the instant wow factor of the Persian and Mummy painted hallway.

Having recently taken over Llanfendigaid Estate and having multiple properties including the main house with 9 bedrooms to renovate I wanted to make sure that I got it right. We thought about using an interior designer but it felt too exciting to not do it myself, so a colour consultation was the right balance of getting expert guidance yet still having control of styling.  It’s worked out completely.

Lisa Kay, Colour Consultancy Client

Director and colour consultant Emma Bulmer worked with her client, Lisa Kay, on the colour transformation of the Llanfendigaid Estate in Snowdonia. The decision was reached that for The Cowshed, greens were the best colour to base the palette around, tying it in with the wild beauty and greens of the landscape outside the windows.

This transformation is a masterclass in choosing and using a lead colour group and carefully curating a palette of complementary and a couple of more contrasting colours, to create a home with flow in tonal harmony.

Severnside Press B&B was a tired and suffering former printing shop in Newnham-on-Severn when Tony and Alex rescued it. Recognising the handsome late Georgian features and great potential they embraced the challenge, but were overwhelmed by the endless possibilities and felt uncertain about which colours to choose. On receiving our colour chart, they chose to get in touch about our colour consultancy service. Emma visited a few days later, and after a good chat about favourite colours and a walk around, the process began and exciting decisions were made. The results speak for themselves.

How much paint do I need?

We have created this calculator to help you estimate the amount of paint you will need for your project. Please note that this is only an estimate, based on normal surfaces with two coats of paint.

Please check our practical painting advice - if you are painting onto a very absorbent surface, you may need more paint, and for best results, you may need to prime your surfaces.

If you end up with any leftover paint, get inspired with ways to use any excess paint - it's even compostable!

What are you painting?

Estimated
Painted Wall/Ceiling Area

Our natural matt emulsion is perfect for interior walls and ceilings.

0 litres

0 m2

This estimate is based on the dimensions of your room, minus the space taken by average doors and windows.

For this area, we suggest would be adequate.

Estimated
Woodwork Area

Our water based eggshell or gloss is ideal for woodwork or metalwork.

0 litres

0 m2

This estimate is based on skirting and the doors/windows you tell us about. 1 litre should cover 2-3 doors or 20m of skirting.

For this area, we suggest would be adequate.
