Colour Consulting

Colour Consultant Sydney

We are qualified colour consultants offering advice for both the interior and exterior Sydney wide. Whether you are building, renovating or just want to apply a fresh coat of paint, we recommend a beautiful palette that brings out the best of your home. If you are unsure which colour to select between a few choices, or you don’t know where to begin, our skilled and experienced colour consultants are here to offer their services.

We are interior designers with additional qualifications in colour consulting and many years of experience.

Combining colours into a scheme

Our Sydney colour consultants will help you create a beautiful colour scheme for your home, inside and out. We match not only interior paint colours but also Colorbond and Dulux powder coat colours. Matching the facade colours to the interior palette gives your home a seamless, harmonic flow that will impress your visitors. We can help combine all the colours into an interrelated scheme that meets your style preferences, personality and environment. Giving your home an updated look dramatically enhances any room and helps define the mood of the space. While you’re here, don’t forget to view our completed projects to get some inspiration on colour schemes.

Colour consultant for interior spaces

When recommending a palette for your interiors, we start with listening to what you have in mind. Besides your personal colour preference, your colour advisor takes into account a range of factors before they make their recommendations. These include:

• The atmosphere you want to create in the space
• The amount of natural light that enters the room
• The colours of the existing flooring, window frames and furniture
• The size and purpose of the room

All these factors will significantly influence the ultimate look of your interior, so we’ll consider all the options before making a final decision. Our colour consultants at Martina Hayes advise not only on paint colours for walls and ceilings but also on hues for benchtops, furniture, flooring and any other surfaces.

Harmonious versus bold colour scheme

Most clients prefer a harmonious colour scheme that subtly complements the environment. However, if you want to be more experimental and use bold or clashing colours, our qualified colour consultants are equipped to handle both approaches. Our creativity allows us to provide unique solutions for those who wish to step outside the norm while ensuring that the result is visually appealing and balanced.

Colour consultant Sydney for the exterior facade

Consulting on exterior colours and materials is essential to enhancing your home’s curb appeal, which in turn can add significant value to your property. To bring out the best of your house, our colour consultants provide you with a palette for the following items:  

• Render
• Bricks
• Window frames
• Entry door
• Roof and gutter
• Paving
• Garage door

Ideally, the house facade should provide visitors with a glimpse of what they can expect to see when stepping inside. We prefer to continue the colour scheme from the inside out to achieve a seamless flow between the interior and exterior. By doing so, our colour consultants can create a cohesive look that is both inviting and visually appealing.

Colour advisor provides visualisation

Visualising how different colours look together can be challenging, so we use various methods to help you make informed decisions about your colour choices. For instance, our colour consultants bring samples of bricks, timber, and other materials to our consultations to show you how they will work together in your space. Another option is to use photo manipulation software to apply your chosen colours to an image of your home, apartment building or commercial property. This gives you a better idea of how they will look in situ and lets you make the right decision.

Colour consultant Sydney collates paint colour schedule

At the end of the colour consulting process, you will walk away with your individual schedule of paint colours to hand over to your painter. Our instructions are designed to be straightforward and easy to follow, much like the Paint by Numbers sets that many of us enjoyed as children. By the way, we colour consultants have painters in our network we can recommend as we have used them before and know the excellent quality of their work.

How much does a colour consultant in Sydney cost?

Repainting your interiors and house facade can be a significant expense, making it crucial to seek the advice of a colour consultant. Hiring a consultant is a fraction of the expense compared to the cost of painting. Furthermore, considering your home’s resale value, colour consultation is an investment that pays for itself. To give you an idea of the costs involved, our basic and straightforward colour consultation fees are as follows:

• Interior colour consulting (3-bed home): from $800+GST
• Exterior colour consulting: from $800+GST

Both interior and exterior colour consulting together costs $1,200+GST, saving you $400 compared to the individual bookings.
