To get the most out of your time with a colour consultant or
interior decorator, they can’t be expected to do all the work. This
is your home / space and to reach it’s full potential you need to
do a little homework too.
 First of all be clear about what
it is you are wanting your consultant to provide for you. How much
help you need, do you simply need help with your paint choices or
the whole scheme from laminates, stone, carpet to accessories?
Start a scrapbook of all your
ideas. Collect clippings of favourite schemes, an object d’art, a
favourite piece of fabric or even a piece of china. All these
things that you love will form a basis for the consultant to build
around.
Don’t be afraid to use colour,
provided it is used in the correct proportion it can look
stunning.
Don’t worry that your budget does
not allow for a complete change, consultants can work with existing
flooring, furniture etc.
Don’t expect the consultant to
come up with a solution on the spot. Most times a scheme or two may
be presented to you after the initial consultation.
Do discuss the final scheme with
other family members, those who are sharing the space. Everyone
must be happy with the outcome.
