Why hire a consultant?

Colors look dramatically different on walls than on chips. Lighting, adjacent colors, and fixed finishes all influence perception. A professional saves time and the frustration of repainting.

Getting the most from your session

Gather inspiration photos and note colors you love and hate. Don't move furniture — consultants need to see your space as-is. Large wall patches are far more accurate than small swatches.
