Color impacts every facet of our perception. One can have the most fabulous furnishings and decor, but without a thoughtful application of color amongst those pieces, any room can feel chaotic, disjointed, or just ‘off’. This occurs because color is always subliminally impacting us. As such, a misapplication of color can have an unintended negative effect in the space.

Here’s an example.

You are choosing the paint color for your bedroom. Your favorite color is red, so you paint your bedroom bright red. While the room might be beautiful, psychologically, red is a color of passion or of emergency—it is the color associated with energy. So, without even realizing it, you have set up what should be a soothing, restful space, to instead create a lingering, subliminal restless effect.

This is just one simple illustration of why we consider color consultation to be one of our most essential interior design services: It plays a pivotal role in transforming the overall look and feel of a room, making it a critical step in any interior design project.

Is color consultation just paint?

Our color consultation service involves far more than just picking paint colors or event just the general schema for a space. It is representative of the greater finishes and materials selection process including:

• flooring + carpet

• lighting + hardware finishes

• interior + exterior paint or wallpapering

At Sentio, we not only offer color consultation within all of our interior design packages, but we think this service is so impactful, that it is also offered a la carte. A fresh coat of paint, and an intentional and coordinated color + finishes palette can instigate some of the most impactful, but affordable transformations.
