Our #1 Goal is for YOU to love your color plan! <\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″][vc_column_text]Yes, it\u2019s our job to help define what colors will look best. As part of our expertise, it\u2019s also our responsibility to share what we believe will not <\/strong>work well. But ultimately, we want YOU to be excited about your color selections![\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”15″][vc_column_text]We want the new color scheme(s) to reflect who you are, how you live, and what you love. If it celebrates your unique style, then we have done our job. When color consulting, it\u2019s our duty to guide you through the process, offer professional advice<\/a>, and support you along the way.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”15″][vc_column_text]Always go with your gut! Don\u2019t shy away from sharing with us which colors you typically dislike, and definitely do NOT want to see in the project. I\u2019ve had many clients over the years who know what they want\/like. Still, they\u2019d choose not<\/strong> to share this information with me upfront, in favor of hearing my recommendations first.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”15″][vc_column_text]This is a waste of valuable time that the client is paying for<\/a>! Communication is key, and getting straight to the point is best for everyone involved. This allows us to offer you the very best services.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]\n<\/span>2. Color test, color test, color test!<\/span><\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″][vc_column_text]Often times, clients believe that if they hire a professional color consultant<\/a>, they\u2019ll be quickly guided to the perfect colors – with minimal <\/strong>effort – and can start painting immediately.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”15″][vc_column_text]Yes, this scenario is possible. It does occasionally happen, thanks to an experienced color consultant. But there are certain steps that every<\/strong> client must be willing to take! The biggest step that clients must NOT skip is color testing.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″][image_with_animation image_url=”19933″ alignment=”” animation=”None” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”15″][vc_column_text]Always color test! Too often, I\u2019ve walked in on a color disaster. Why? Because the clients did not color test first<\/a>. They simply took the swatch at face value and went for it.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”15″][vc_column_text]This is a big, expensive mistake! When color consulting, the expert will provide you with your color plan. On it, they\u2019ll recommend different paint colors for your consideration.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”15″][vc_column_text]Importantly: you, your painter, the color consultant, and\/or the designer should ALWAYS get paint samples and perform a color test.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”15″][vc_column_text]There is no way around skipping this step! If you do, don\u2019t expect a beautiful color transformation. Yes, it takes a little time to wait for color swatches to arrive in the mail. Similarly, narrowing down potential colors, picking up paint samples at the store, and placing them on your home is also a bit time-consuming.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”15″][vc_column_text]But doing all of these things WILL assist you in selecting the proper colors<\/a> that much faster! You\u2019ll easily be able to see which colors you love, which colors you don\u2019t, and any colors that need to be adjusted prior to painting.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”15″][vc_column_text]Every home is different. Every color looks different in different lighting. Taking just a little extra time to color test will make or break your project![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]\n<\/span>3. Color consultants will meet you where you are!<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″][vc_column_text]By nature, color consultants are flexible in their work. You\u2019ll find that most (if not all) are willing to come to YOU. The color consulting process doesn\u2019t strictly need to occur at the beginning of a project. You can turn to a color consulting expert at any <\/em>stage along the way![\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”15″][vc_column_text]Maybe you\u2019re just starting to think about planning a new project, and want to gather information to create a solid budget. Perhaps you simply need a fresh repaint in a few rooms<\/a> throughout the home. Either way, your color consultant is ready to help![\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”15″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][image_with_animation image_url=”19934″ alignment=”” animation=”None” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”15″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]If you\u2019re working on a new construction home, your color consultant can help with recommending some trendy color schemes<\/a> that work well for both your specific architectural style AND color preferences. If you\u2019ve already tested way<\/strong> too many samples on your walls, you\u2019re completely overwhelmed, and ready to set your home on fire, your color consultant can come to the rescue![\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”15″][vc_column_text]With their expertise, they can help you bring things back into perspective. Their practical advice can bring you<\/strong> back to a calmer, more confident state.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”15″][vc_column_text]The color consulting process can also take place in the comfort of your very own home. Depending on your needs, location, budget, and schedule, you may not always have the option to travel to your consultant. But if possible, your consultant can definitely travel to you![\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”15″][vc_column_text]That being said, consultations and follow-up appointments can also be held virtually<\/strong> as well! This option works wonderfully in the event that you and your consultant cannot meet face-to-face. Virtual meetings<\/a> are especially useful now, when people everywhere are advised to remain indoors and socially distance from others.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”15″][vc_column_text]Virtual services allow clients to receive all the same benefits of working in-person, with added flexibility and convenience!\n<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]\n<\/span>4. Everyone deserves to live with beautiful color!<\/span><\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″][vc_column_text]As a color consultant<\/a>, I truly believe that each and every person deserves to live in color – whether it\u2019s in their home, their business, or their community.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”15″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][image_with_animation image_url=”19935″ alignment=”” animation=”None” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”15″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]Color is one of the easiest, most budget-friendly ways to create big design transformations<\/a>, in an affordable and fun way! Bringing in pops of color can develop spaces that are more functional, inviting, cozy, and beautiful.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”15″][vc_column_text]From the smallest d\u00e9cor items, to larger furnishings, artwork, and painted walls – everyone can benefit from enjoying color![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]\n<\/span>5. We want the color consulting process to be simple, stress-free, and enjoyable!<\/span><\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″][vc_column_text]While the ultimate goal when working with our clients is to provide the perfect color scheme, we also want the process to be stress-free, easy, and fun![\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]This goes for both the consultant and<\/strong> the client. The easier the process is, and the more communication between both parties, the more successful the project will be for all parties. It\u2019s a win-win![\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”15″][vc_column_text]If you\u2019re struggling with your color consultant and overall vision, politely share your frustrations with them. If you aren\u2019t able to see eye-to-eye, it\u2019s completely okay to consider working with a different <\/strong>color consultant. If your first choice isn\u2019t working out, someone else may be a better fit<\/a> for you.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”15″][vc_column_text]Don\u2019t be worried about hurting our feelings! At the end of the day, this is business. You should never be expected to sacrifice the vision you\u2019re paying for, just to appease your color consultant.

It really does go a long way! If you\u2019re happy with what they\u2019ve done, and love your beautiful color transformation, you can go even further by:[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”15″][vc_column_text]\n\n \tRecommending them to your friends<\/li>\n \tSharing your positive experience on social media<\/li>\n \tWriting them a positive review<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”15″][vc_column_text]It makes a world of difference, and helps us to gain new clients![\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”15″][vc_column_text]Above all else, color consultants want you to know that we love what we do.
