What Is Colour Consultancy?

Choosing the perfect colours for your home isn’t always as simple as picking a paint chart. Colour affects everything - the mood of a room, how large it feels, how natural light behaves, and how the space connects with the rest of your home. That’s where colour consultancy comes in.

As an interior designer in Bristol, I offer colour consultancy services to help clients navigate these decisions with confidence, creating schemes that feel beautifully considered, timeless, and right for their space.

What Is Colour Consultancy?

A colour consultancy is a personalised service that helps you select the ideal colours for your home - whether you’re redecorating a single room, updating your whole property, or planning a new renovation.

It goes beyond simply choosing a ‘nice shade’ of paint. A professional colour consultant considers the room’s orientation, natural light, architectural features, existing furnishings, and how you want the space to feel.

At Khaya Studio, my colour consultancy is about creating palettes that feel timeless, sophisticated, and effortlessly work with your home’s character.

What Happens During a Colour Consultation?

When you book a colour consultancy with an interior designer in Bristol like myself, the process typically includes:

1. A site visit or video consultation

We’ll walk through the space together, discussing your vision, lifestyle, and how you currently use the room.

2. Reviewing light, layout and existing elements

I’ll assess how natural and artificial light behave at different times of day, how the space connects with other rooms, and what fixed elements (like flooring, kitchen cabinetry, or period features) need to be considered.

3. Developing a bespoke colour scheme

I’ll create a tailored palette that complements your home, considering paint finishes, tonal balance, accent colours and suggestions for complementary furnishings or fabrics if required.

4. Supplying a clear colour plan

You’ll receive a colour plan with selected paint names, finishes and placement suggestions to confidently move forward with your decorating.

Who Is Colour Consultancy For?

A colour consultancy is ideal if:

• You’re overwhelmed by the sheer number of paint options available

• You’ve made expensive mistakes with colour in the past

• You want a cohesive, timeless palette for your whole home

• You’re renovating a period property in Bristol and want to respect its character

• You’re looking for professional advice to achieve a calm, elegant interior

  
  

Why Work with a Bristol-Based Interior Designer for Colour Consultancy?

Choosing a local interior designer in Bristol means you’re working with someone who understands the quirks of West Country homes - from north-facing Georgian townhouses in Clifton to charming stone cottages in Bath and contemporary new-builds on the outskirts of the city.

I have first-hand experience of how Bristol’s light behaves (often softer and cooler than in other parts of the country) and which colours work beautifully in this environment. My focus is always on creating schemes that feel authentic to both the property and the people living in it.
