Because those paint samples on the wall just don’t feel right and it’s eating you alive!
Maybe you’re reading this because you’re actually good with color, but the neutral paint color samples currently on your wall don’t feel right.
Or maybe you’ve already painted your entire space but now the floors or countertops look off.
Or maybe you stopped halfway through painting because the color was actually just way too dark and now you’re eating a pizza on the couch staring at this wall realizing you’re going to have to drop more money on another gallon of paint you’re not sure will be the right color…again.
You’re finding yourself playing this never-ending game of which-paint-color-is-the-one.
It’s exhausting.
I guess what? I used to play this game all the time!
Now, after 4 years of updating short-term rentals and transforming them from dated to modern with mostly just the power of paint, I’m on a mission to help homeowners find the colors that actually make sense in their space and stop the constant flywheel of heading to the paint store every few days for more samples that don’t work.
Alas, we’re here and we are wondering: what are the benefits of hiring a home color expert?
Firstly, and not to be too dramatic here, but you’ll get your life back. I know firsthand how hard it is to settle for a color you don’t love slapped all over your walls and constantly think about changing it and having to do the mental prep of repainting.
I know how annoying it is to go to the paint store 3 times in a day and waste away a good Saturday you could have been present with your friends and family.
It’s a draining process just to find the perfect neutral that just works in your space.
So leave it up to the color expert in your area. (If you’re in Seattle you can book a free discovery call).
Secondly, if you’re picking a neutral paint color, the undertones are so sneaky sometimes.
You thought you were picking up a gorgeous light and warm taupe that actually turned completely purpleish-gray and dingy in your space. Of course, you trusted the process only to come out of the experience with major trust issues.
Home color experts are experienced in how paint color plays with your lighting, size of your space, floors and other fixed elements of your home like backsplash, cabinets, countertops, fireplace and all your furniture.
Color doesn’t exist by itself, so it’s always playing with everything in the room. This is the big thing we usually don’t think of when choosing paint. We assume it’s going to work if it’s a “good” color not realizing it’s being heavily influenced by all the things around it.
So when you’re working with a professional, they’ll be able to pick up on these nuances so you don’t have to go through all the trial-and-error (well, more than you’ve already gone through).
And lastly, the amazing benefit of working with a home color expert is that I’ll bring my large samples, various white trim pieces and we’ll go through the colors together once I’ve had a chance to fully analyze your space and create your new color palette that you get to see in realtime.
I walk through your home, get a feel for what you’ve created and are wanting to create and I’ll narrow down my choices for you so you don’t get fatigued in the process.
The next time you head to the paint store for your gallon of paint, you can feel confident and excited that you’ve chosen a paint color that is going to not only work with your home, but finally put your mind at ease so you don’t have to think about it again. You can focus on creating new memories with the fresh energy once the painting is over and you’re basking in the * afterglow * of having chosen the right paint colors.
