Reduce the overwhelm and discover the joy of planning your dream home
Colours, materials, and finishes transform the look and feel of your home. Like magic, they create the illusion of space and define where rooms begin and end. However, the pressure to get it right can be frustrating, time-consuming, and overwhelming. Working with a colour consultant ensures you get things right, the first time, greatly reducing your stress levels.
Investing in professional colour consulting not only takes some of the weight off your shoulders – it also helps turn your whole house into a home. Our colour consulting service introduces you to design logic and design principles to guide your choices through the entire selection process.
FYI we can (and do!) make recommendations on kitchen, laundry, and bathroom layouts as part of the consultation process. However, if you wish to have custom joinery drawings produced for your carpenter, extra fees will apply for 2D floor plans and elevations (see below).
We start with an initial call to discuss your needs before booking a face-to-face meeting. We’ll meet onsite at designated showrooms*, where I’ll guide you through the entire selection process, creating two cohesive colour schemes for you to choose from on the day. The chosen colour scheme will form the basis of the final concept.
*Three showroom visits are included on the same day. If more locations are required on another day, there will be an additional charge of $800 per day with a maximum of 2 showrooms visited.

Our colour consulting service includes access to product samples, a mood board and detailed schedule for your entire home. This ensures you are 100% happy with the design plan before work begins. This is a great way to gain peace of mind and feel confident in your interior design choices.
Detailed 2D and 3D floor plans and elevations can make the difference between smooth sailing and a VERY bumpy ride for your design project. We can develop technical drawings alongside your colour and materials choices to help you seek quotes with confidence and avoid confusion with tilers, carpenters, and other tradies. Give us a call to find out how you can save when combining this service with one of our design packages.

Add our space planning service to your colour consulting project for even more value. We’ll help you best optimise every space in your home to get the most from your home build or renovation.
The cost of a colour consultant in Australia can vary, but it generally ranges from $100 to $300 per hour.
Some colour consultants may charge extra for materials or travel expenses, so it’s important to clarify this before hiring them.
Some consultants may have a minimum number of hours required for each session, so be sure to inquire about this beforehand.
The experience level of the consultant, the complexity of the project, and the location can all impact the overall cost of hiring a colour consultant.
