Trust others with your paint colour choices

Choosing the right paint colors can be a daunting task, especially when it comes to renovating a home. With so many options available, it’s easy to get stuck in a state of decision paralysis. Considering a colour consultant can be a worthwhile investment.

Many UK paint brands now offer colour consultancy services, with virtual sessions ranging from £95-£150 an hour and in-home visits from £195-£300 an hour. These services often cover multiple rooms in one booking and may refund some of the fee against paint orders.

Colour consultants provide expert advice on choosing the perfect paint scheme for your home. They take into account factors such as the quality of light in each room, the time of day each space is used, and the textiles, art, and furniture you plan to use.

Mylands, a family-run paint brand, offers a residential consultancy service. Their colour consultant, Gemma Dalton, uses a thorough process to determine the best paint colors for each room. This includes assessing the natural light and considering the overall aesthetic you want to achieve.

Gemma Dalton advised using a creamy, yellow-based shade called ‘Lot’s Road’ in a loft bedroom with plenty of natural light. The result was a room that actually glows.

In another room, Gemma Dalton recommended using ‘Chalk’, a complex, shadowy neutral, in a north-facing kitchen with limited natural light. The result was a fresh and warm space. She also suggested using ‘Beata White’ on ceilings, woodwork, and skirting, and painting the stair treads in a deep olive green called ‘Caca d’Oie’.

The process of working with a colour consultant can be incredibly thorough and fast, untangling weeks of indecision in just a few hours. The end result is a paint scheme that anchors the entire space and makes each room sing.

While choosing wall color may seem like a trivial matter, getting it wrong can be expensive and time-consuming. On the other hand, getting it right can make all the difference in creating a harmonious and beautiful space.

For those struggling to choose the perfect paint colors, considering a colour consultant like Mylands may be the solution.

Investing in a colour consultant ensures that your paint scheme is both beautiful and functional, and that your home turns out exactly as you envisioned it.

It is a worthwhile investment.
