Consultations range from half an hour to 2 hours.

The amount of time needed for a consultation can be discussed and agreed before the appointment. Payment can be made at the end of the appointment.

I aim to do consultations during the day, to account for the rooms natural light. Weekends and evenings are available when possible.

I work mostly around Harpenden, St. Albans and the surrounding villages and can consider further afield for larger projects.

1 hour covers approximately 2-3 rooms, 2 hours will do 4-6 rooms. This is rough guide and timings depend on the size and complexity of the spaces. I offer half hour appointments when there is a request for 1 room (only).

Whilst paint colours are the focus, I consider the larger textures, lighting, acoustics and furnishings in a space so general design ideas are discussed in person.

How I Work

My role is to understand the space and combine that with what you want and what it needs.

My goal is to achieve the right feel for the function of a space; to find the paint colours that embrace what you love and have already (or will have) to bring it all together.

I can quickly narrow down the colours that will work in a space and then illustrate them to you, in the consultation, to see and feel for yourself.

We work together to discuss the options; I make suggestions and you can ask any questions.

My hope is that you can feel inspired, empowered and excited by how your home can feel and that you can keep and work with what you have. As such, clients regularly report feeling a renewed love and energy towards their home.

The span of paint brands that I work with has increased as I have searched for the nuance of colour between shades and tones, as well as different ingredients and finishes required for a project. I feel assured that I have the breadth of colours and paint finishes required, to show you what will work for your space.

I work independently and unaffiliated, which means I work across all the major paint brands, equally. This includes (but is not limited to) Edward Bulmer, COAT, Little Greene, Paint & Paper Library & Farrow & Ball. I have a particular interest in low-tox and clay paints (which come in an array of colours).

About My Clients

I work on many different projects.

I like to work with people because most have an idea of what they like, even if they don’t realise it. Many are unsure about how to translate that in their home, that’s where I can come in.

I work with people looking to change the use of room, the feel of a room … and those that don’t know what to do at all.

Some of the examples of situations I work with;

  • Someone who wanted to make her living room her sanctuary; she had ideas and wanted help to pull it together

  • Someone who bought 13 tester pots but still didn’t know which colour to choose

  • Someone who wanted to branch out from the white walls across much of the house

  • Someone who was renovating and overwhelmed picking colours for each room

  • Someone who had their whole house newly refurbished, but the kitchen didn’t feel as hoped, but didn’t know which way to go to pull everything together

  • Someone who wanted help to find a similar but more fitting colour.

  • Someone who was selling their home and wanted to redecorate for a good sale and price.

  • Someone who had just moved house and wanted to personalise and refresh it without the cost and upheaval of a full renovation

No two situations are the same and I love a puzzle so contact me below for more information.
