How a Colour Designer can help with a project.
What is the vision?
Whether it’s refreshing paintwork or completely redecorating, the first step is to define a vision. Before an appointment, it’s worth creating a mood board to showcase what you’re looking to do with your space. You could get your inspiration from magazines, blogs, or social media.
Choosing a colour scheme
Here’s where colour comes in. Our designers are masters of all things colour and colour schemes. They’ll use your mood board and inspo pictures to pick out Dulux colours you’ll love.
Together you can fine-tune your colour choices with their expertise. They’ll help you pick what will work best in certain spaces, from bathrooms to open-plan living, through to exteriors.
Manage existing finishes
Most of the time a project will typically involve working with existing design elements, surfaces and paintwork.
In this case, our Colour Designers will advise you on how to scheme with these existing features to bring the whole space together as one.
From touch-ups to gloss and texture variations, their experience will take the guesswork out of how to resourcefully refresh existing paintwork on all surfaces.
Colours that follow the latest Colour Trends or are unique to you
Furniture colourings, textures, and natural surfaces can all influence the feel of your space, and influence the undertones of the paint colours required. Sometimes you need a little help from a professional designer to help you to curate your colour palette. They can guide you towards popular colour trends or a colour combination that’s unique to you and your home.
