Our one-hour colour consultation | online colour consultation
The right colour can transform a room. The wrong one haunts you every time you walk in.
​
Paint decisions are deceptively hard. The shade that looked perfect on the card reads completely differently once it's on four walls, under your light, next to your sofa. Most people either freeze entirely or pick something "safe" and quietly regret it for years.
This online interior colour consultation takes the guesswork out of the process. In one focused hour, we'll look at your room, your light, your existing pieces, and your instincts - and build a personalised colour scheme through a colour scheme consultation that genuinely fits your home and how you want to feel in it.
​
"Colour is not just decoration. It shapes mood, alters the apparent size of a space, and changes how everything else in the room reads."

What's included?​
​
-
Pre-consultation preparation
Before we meet, you'll complete a short questionnaire and send photographs, videos and any relevant inspiration. Studio Hallam will review your room, lighting, existing fixed elements and preferences, undertake the necessary research, and prepare two to three initial colour directions or mood-board concepts for us to explore together.
-
60-minute online consultation via Zoom or Teams
We'll look at your room together, explore your inspiration, and talk through what's working and what isn't.
-
Two to three initial colour directions
You'll have considered starting points rather than a generic palette, giving us something tangible to compare, discuss and refine during the consultation.
-
Personalised Colour Consultation Report
After the consultation, you'll receive a clear, easy-to-reference report of approximately 1–3 pages, normally including the agreed palette, relevant paint brands and colour codes, palette visuals, application or placement notes, visual inspiration where appropriate, and suggested next steps.
-
Delivered within 3 business days
Your completed Colour Consultation Report will normally be sent electronically within 3 business days following the consultation.

A focused colour design service
​
The Colour Consultation is designed to give you a considered colour direction for the room or space agreed as part of your booking. It is more developed than a quick colour question, but it is not a complete Full Room Design service.
The service does not include a site visit, measured survey, architectural or technical specification, construction drawings, procurement, project management or ongoing design work unless separately agreed in writing.
Because colour changes with natural and artificial light, surrounding colours, surface texture and paint finish, digital palettes and mood boards are visual guides. We strongly recommend testing physical paint samples or test pots in your room before making a final purchase.
​​
Before you book
Please read Studio Hallam's Terms & Conditions and Returns & Refunds Policy before booking. The Colour Consultation includes pre-consultation research and preparation as well as the consultation itself, so work may begin before your appointment takes place.
​
This is for you if...
​
You've been staring at paint swatches for weeks and still can't decide. You want to refresh a room but don't know where to start. You've made a colour mistake before and don't want to repeat it. You simply want professional colour advice and a clear direction without committing to a full design project.
£175 per consultation
​
Weekend appointments may be available by prior arrangement and are subject to a weekend supplement. Weekend appointments cannot be booked online; please contact Studio Hallam directly to enquire about availability.
