How to choose the best colour designer for your project

Before you choose the best colour designer for your project, it’s important to do some research. Luckily, every professional on ArchiPro has a profile with business details, services, previous projects, customer testimonials and more. This allows you to browse their profiles and make an informed shortlist based on what you see, read and like. Once you’ve narrowed it down to a few potential professionals get in touch with them and ask a few questions like the following:

How long have you been practising in Australia?
Do you focus more on wall colours and paints, or do you include other surfaces and decor items?
Do you charge an hourly rate or a one-off fee?
How long will the scope of the project take, from planning to completion?
Will you be presenting the ideas, or do you want a lot of input from me?

What kind of impact does colour have on a design?

Colour can have a powerful effect on the design of any building or space. Colour can evoke emotions or play a role in the perception of space in the mind. For example, light and subtle colours like pastels, creams, or beige, can produce feelings of calm and serenity. Lighter shades can also make a space appear larger.
