“Colour has the remarkable ability to transform space, shift mood, play with light, and ultimately create a home that resonates as uniquely your own.” - Siobhan, Studio Homestead
Colour Consultancy
Choosing colour for your home is one of the single most important tasks when it comes to getting the look of a room just right. Colour is so deceptive and it depends on how much natural light you do or do not have. Whether your project is a total renovation or a few rooms in need of a refresh, Siobhan can use her extensive knowledge and guide you through choosing a considered colour palette for your home which reflects your personal aesthetic.
Deciding on a colour tends to be overwhelming, time consuming and costly. Booking an expert consultation takes away the stress and makes the process more enjoyable.

No, you do not need to be at the property for the virtual call, however if it is possible it can be helpful as you can take a look at the colours in situ and give your feedback. Colour is so deceptive and it depends on how much natural light you do or do not have. Many find it easier and more beneficial to relax and take a seat for the duration of the call.

Once you have booked your consultation you will receive a questionnaire to complete along with a request to send any inspiration you have gathered e.g a Pinterest Board or some screenshots etc. This is not essential but it helps to get a good idea of your style.
