COLOUR
CONSULTATION
IN BRISTOL, BATH, GLOUCESTERSHIRE & ONLINE
Colours that work in your light, with your floors, in your home.
Paint charts make it look simple. Then the sample goes on the wall, the grey turns green, the white looks cold, and the room feels smaller than it did before.
A Colour Consultation takes the guesswork away. I look at your light, your flooring, your fabrics and how you want each room to feel, then give you a palette that works together, from walls and woodwork to ceilings.
Why it’s so easy to get colour wrong.
Most people spend hours comparing paint charts and testing samples, only to find the colour looks completely different once on the wall.
-
Undertones clash with flooring or fabrics.
-
Rooms feel darker, colder, or smaller than expected.
-
And what looked perfect online doesn’t translate in real life.
It’s no wonder colour choices can feel risky. My role is to take away that uncertainty so you can make confident, informed decisions, the first time.
Online colour consultations, wherever you are
You send photographs of your room in daylight, along with your flooring, furniture and fabrics. We then talk it through on a video call, and you come away with a coordinated palette for your room. Prices are in pounds sterling, and I’m happy to find a time that works across time zones.
How the consultation works.
Your Colour Consultation is relaxed, enjoyable, and completely tailored to your home.
Here’s what to expect:
-
In your home or online - For an in-person consultation, I visit your home to assess its light, architecture and existing finishes. For an online consultation, we explore your room through photographs shared beforehand and a video call, considering the same details together.
-
Design discussion - We talk through how you want your home to feel: calm, uplifting, elegant, or bold.
-
A coordinated palette for your room - Together, we’ll explore colours for your walls, ceiling, woodwork and any other agreed finishes, considering your lighting, existing furniture and the atmosphere you’d like to create.
-
Clear direction - During the consultation, I’ll explain the recommended colours and where to use them. You’re welcome to take notes as we go.

“Our brief was to add some colour and character into our white L-Shaped living room...
...Rebecca provided a scheme for both rooms with bold yet warm colours and lots of ideas about lighting and accessories. We immediately re-arranged our living room according to Rebecca's plan and that improved it right away. Now we've painted it using the colours Rebecca suggested and it looks amazing. The furniture that we thought wouldn't fit together really does now. We both love the room and can't wait to get going on the dining room."

Frequently Asked Questions
What will I come away with?
You’ll come away with a coordinated colour palette and clear guidance on where to use your recommended colours. This service includes the consultation itself; a written summary is not included. If you’d like broader design advice with a written follow-up, my Designer Half Day includes both.
What should I prepare?
For an in-person consultation, simply gather any ideas or inspiration you’d like to share. For an online appointment, I’ll ask you to send photographs of your room in natural daylight, including your flooring, furniture and fabrics, along with any colours you’re considering beforehand. A Pinterest board or a few inspiration images can also help communicate what you have in mind.
Is the consultation online or in person?
You can choose an in-person consultation in your home across Bristol, Bath and Gloucestershire, or an online consultation via video call. Both offer personalised guidance to help you create a colour palette that works with your home and the way you want it to feel.
I live outside Bristol. Can I still book?
Yes. I offer in-person consultations across Bristol, Bath and Gloucestershire, and online consultations for clients further afield. If you’d prefer a home visit, please get in touch to check whether I cover your location.
Will you recommend specific paint brands?
My focus is always on finding the right colours for your home, rather than limiting you to one paint brand. I use a range of trusted paint companies to curate your bespoke colour palette. If you already have a preferred brand, most colours can be closely matched to suit your preferences.
Paint colours can look different on screen and change with your room’s lighting. I recommend testing physical samples in your home before making your final choice.
