Color Consultations
One of the most frequent comments we hear from clients is “I just can’t seem to choose the right color” or “Every color we have chosen is too dark and not the right shade”.
Choosing colors and materials for your home is not an easy process. We understand and know how to address this dilemma with over 25 years of experience. Good choices of paint color in design play a vital role in making us happier, more comfortable, and make us have richer life experiences.
Both Leslie Morrison and Nicola Vigini are trained and certified colorists from The School of Color.
Of the many options we offer our clients, color consultations for interiors and exteriors is a highly requested service. During our initial meeting, we sit down and discuss likes and dislikes as well as options. Bring photos, magazine ideas, and fabrics. We will then prepare a written document for the client to review.
