What is a color scheme?
There are so many things to keep in mind when putting together a color scheme. Like natural light and shadows, and what kind of ambiance you are looking to create. And if you are making a color scheme made for several rooms, you have to make sure that the colors work well together from one space to the next. I will make your color scheme according to colors that make you feel good. These colors are often already present. For instance in pieces of art that you like, or in the clothes you wear, or in the surroundings of the house... By putting them together, in their pure and/or softened tones, I will make you a plan which you can implement immediately and also keep as reference for future purchases.
Advantages of getting your own color scheme made:
›› You will be getting a fresh and professional perspective on the colors in your space.
›› I will visit your home, which means I get a good idea of who you are and how you live.
›› It will save you from buying colored items or paint that in the end will not match or suit the rest.
›› You will be making the most out of the space, like accentuating strong features, making it feel larger or more cozy.
›› You are getting colors that are in tune together and create cohesion.
How does it work?
The first time we meet we will discuss your wishes, preferences and the space itself. You can prepare for this beforehand. For example, by making a mood board on Pinterest or by collecting pictures from magazines.
At our second meeting I will present you with the colors I am proposing, and help you choose. I will then continue with the choices we made during this meeting.
At our third meeting I present you with your personal interior color scheme. This includes drawings that indicate what goes where.
A house dating back to the early 80's, in Oegstgeest, received a major update when new owners bought it. I made a color scheme for this, inspired by art of the beautiful Venezuelan city Mérida. You can see the result in this blog: Mérida Hermosa Color Scheme
