Starting a redesign project for your home is exciting. You’re going to create what feels like a whole new space without having to move or make any major life changes. However, there are some things that you’ll want to make sure you get done before you start on your project. At The Reflective Designer, we recommend you do a color consultation with interior designers in Scottsdale before taking on the rest of your redesign. If you’re eager to get started (and why wouldn’t you be?), we have some reasons why it’s important to get a color consultation first.
Saves time
Nearly everything you do with your project will revolve around the colors you decide to use for your new room. They’ll set the mood, fit the theme, and tie everything together once it’s finished. Choosing your color palette from the beginning makes it easier to make every decision going forward, as you’ll already have every choice narrowed down to a few options. You won’t waste time deciding between several couches or buying too many picture frames because you know which colors you want to work with.
Saves money
You would hate to get halfway through your project or complete it entirely, then realize that you hate the colors you’ve chosen. Getting the project done right the first time ensures that you’re not going to waste more money on paint, curtains, or an area rug because you’re confident with your choice of colors. You won’t have to worry about spending extra money on materials to help make many of your final decisions because they’ve already been decided with your overall color palette.
Provides objective feedback
It’s normal to have your biases when making decisions with your home redesign. Whether you want a dash of it or want to paint the walls with it, you’re going to have colors that you love and want to incorporate into a specific room. A color consultant can help you see the bigger picture and provide you with objective feedback. You’ll get insight into what specific colors will do to the appearance of the size of the room, how they’ll attract attention to specific areas of a room, or how they’ll feel with your furniture and the rest of the house. While a color consultant will respect your wishes, they’ll also provide you with honest feedback that will help make the new room look beautiful.
Will affect other decisions
The colors you choose to use will affect various other parts of your project. From the style and color of furniture you buy to the theme of the room to the types of linens you incorporate as well. Knowing which colors you want to draw inspiration from at the beginning of your project will have lasting effects on your decisions throughout the redesign, so you want to have a firm grasp on what you like before you ever get started.
Helps tie it all together
You can have white walls with several different types of furniture and call it an eclectic design, but it doesn’t always work. Choosing your colors will help create a sense of uniformity and cohesiveness to your newly designed room that you wouldn’t get otherwise. This can make it a more comfortable place to sit and relax as there’s not so much going on in the room that you find it hard to focus.
