Colour Consultation

Understanding Edinburgh Light

North-facing rooms in New Town properties receive warm undertone recommendations preventing grey colour choices from reading cold year-round. South-facing rooms tolerate cooler greys and blues without feeling sterile.

We test colours at multiple daytimes using large sample boards rather than small paint pots that mislead through edge proportion effects.

Whole-Home Colour Flow

Connected spaces require undertone consistency even when hue shifts between rooms. Our palette documents specify primary, secondary, and accent colours with corresponding paint codes from Farrow & Ball, Little Greene, or Dulux Heritage ranges.

Trim and ceiling colours receive explicit specification preventing default white choices that clash with wall undertones.

Existing Furniture Integration

Colour consultations inventory upholstery, artwork, and flooring that must harmonise with proposed wall colours. Replacement recommendations arise only when existing pieces actively conflict with achievable palettes.

Wood tone warmth—orange oak versus grey-washed ash—influences adjacent paint selections significantly and receives dedicated analysis.

Consultation Deliverables

Standalone colour consultations from €380 include two-hour site visit, palette board with swatches, and written specification document. Follow-up email support for contractor questions lasts fourteen days.

Combined colour and styling packages reduce total cost by 12% compared with separate bookings for the same property scope.

Rental Property Constraints

Landlords receive durable, touch-up-friendly palettes using readily available paint lines. Neutral schemes with single accent walls satisfy tenant customisation requests while protecting deposit conditions.

Photography-ready colours for short-term let listings are tested under camera flash and natural light to prevent online booking disappointment.
