Featured Reviews for Color Consulting Companies in Albany

Ariel Arts
Color Consulting Companies in Albany
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 10, 2022
“Ariel has such a light hand and does everything with such ease! My partner and I were overwhelmed with trying to quickly furnish our new home and starting with almost nothing. I tend to overthink every decision, so I really needed help bringing together a cohesive design and be confident in our decision making. This was also at the time that everything was out of stock, and Ariel was able to source items that were almost all entirely in stock. Ariel really listened to the exact requirements we had for our unique space and made sure that each piece would fit just right, with an emphasis on quality and longevity. More importantly, she helped us be brave when it came to bold design decisions. A dark and moody dining space is not something we would have ever thought of on our own, let alone been confident enough to execute. It ended up being the most stylish corner in our home, has such a Chicago vibe, and continues to be the source of inspiration for or other design decisions. Ariel really helped us quickly get from zero (literally only a mattress on the floor) to fully furnished in a matter of a couple of months. We are still putting together finishing touches and decorative elements, and Ariel's online design resources are really helpful for that as well.”

She is thorough and thoughtful and offers great choices for your consideration.

Coddington Design
Color Consulting Companies in Albany
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 10, 2013
“Melanie designed my kitchen remodel. She patiently listened to my concerns and desires. Her first recommendation was to look at many kitchens on Houzz and add the ones I liked to an ideabook. This made it easy for me to see what style I wanted. Her design was wonderful. She opened up the space, and made the most of what we had. Melanie helped me with questions and problems throughout the remodel. Melanie made the process as smooth as possible. We love our new kitchen.”
Studio AHEAD
Color Consulting Companies in Albany
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 3, 2020
“We worked with Studio Ahead to select furnishing, drapery, art and light fixtures for our new home in Marin County. They came up with furniture floor plans and ways of using pieces that made our home have the designer feel we wanted, yet still felt very specific to who my husband and I are. On top of it we have worked with other interior designers before on previous homes and I have to say the process with Studio Ahead was very smooth. They are on top of purchasing, budgets and timelines which we appreciated after having some poor experiences in the past. Thank you Studio Ahead team! Looking forward to working together on the house in Tahoe.”
Refined Interiors

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 27, 2020
“I absolutely loved working with Laura during our house renovation - she helped make our house into our dream home! Laura’s expertise, creativity, and sense of style have been invaluable through the entire design and selection process. She carefully listens to her clients and helps with the whole process from design to the finishing touches. Laura has a wonderful eye for detail and color. She pays close attention to the big picture as well as to every little detail. She was instrumental in every step of our remodel - from helping with the layout, creating the CAD drawings for permits, recommending vetted contractors and vendors with whom she has great relationships, to helping with design ideas and choosing the right materials. We couldn’t be happier with the final results! Laura is truly a talented designer and wonderful to work with. I would highly recommend her for any kind of interior decoration, design, or remodel projects.”
Influent Home

“My partner and I engaged with Michael a few months ago because we were unhappy with some of our present furniture, carpets and the overall feel of our condo. We had recently worked with a designer and had a less than stellar experience and result. We interviewed a few designers for this relatively small project and we both liked Michael right away. We explained our vision of "warming up" our condo, which had been decorated a bit more modern that we liked; we had not found it to functional or inviting. We emphasized that we wanted to remain in-budget if possible but were open to suggestions that might bring us a bit over if we felt it was worth it. I have worked with three other designers in the past, and I must say that Michael was by far the most budget conscious. We asked to be billed weekly and for regular, easy to understand accounting, and that is just what he provided. Michael was reliable, patient and professional through the entire process; bills for his time were reasonable and appropriate. Michael has a great eye for color and detail, and he came up with some really great ideas. For example, he suggested that we extend an existing surface in the guest bedroom/office to create an inexpensive work space that is both attractive and functional. He also brought in a plumber and painter who were willing to complete some really small but important jobs for us. Michael has been an absolute pleasure to work with. I will definitely contact him for any future projects I might have and I recommend him without hesitation. Oh and by the way, our home looks great - it's warm, comfortable and inviting. . . just what we wanted!”
Kelly Martin Interiors
Color Consulting Companies in Albany
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 25, 2017
“I loved working with Kelly and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an interior designer who brings creativity, but designs something that fits YOU. My husband, daughter and I had just moved from NYC to LA, so we hired Kelly to help us design a space that reflected our energy, experiences, personality and the SoCal vibe. I always dreamed of going lighter with color in a living space, but never had the guts. Kelly listened intently to what we had to say and then suggested risky and creative ideas based on our conversation, budget and key pieces of furniture we wanted to keep. As a result, Kelly turned our apartment into our home...that looks more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. People walk in and are stunned at how unique it looks in its vibrancy and style, while still reflecting who we are. Kelly told us in our initial meeting that we would love it, we would not know which room we liked the best, and we would never want to move out. Mission accomplished. We absolutely love it! Also, Kelly is an extremely warm-hearted, kind individual, and she made the process fun and easy (which was such a blessing as we were juggling a cross country move, a 1 year old and new jobs). She responded to emails promptly and effectively, and moved through our project with the pace at which we were comfortable. If we ever move again (which I don't want to now!!!) I will hire Kelly in a heartbeat. :)”
Callahan Design Group
Color Consulting Companies in Albany
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 30, 2015
“Nancy Callahan captured my desire for a lovely blue master bathroom without overpowering the eye, and she helped me envision the project before we got started, using CAD designs. My favorite feature was the heated floor... love those warm toes! She created a beautiful powder room from an existing closet, and helped me select perfect furniture for the entire house. One thing I wanted for this house was to maximize sleeping space in this destination location, for visiting guests. She did this with a convertible sofa in the office (sleeping +2) and ensuring that the family room sofa with large soft ottoman could also double as more sleeping space (e.g., for kids) if needed. She made the house very versatile and it really works for us. Throughout the effort, Nancy and her team were always readily available for questions. In addition to the major furniture, she also helped me shop for the little things that make a house a home. Callahan and her team are seasoned professionals, and working with them has been truly a pleasure. I have recommended them to friends, and plan to call them again in future projects.”

Interior Designer or Decorator FAQs
The duration of a color consultation project can vary depending on the scope. A single-room project might take a few hours of consultation plus additional time for follow-ups and adjustments. More comprehensive projects, such as whole-home color schemes or exterior color planning, could take several days of consultation. The implementation time, which includes painting and decorating, will depend on the size of the project and the availability of the homeowners and contractors.
Color Consultants stay abreast of the latest design trends and material innovations through continuous education and industry engagement. They incorporate this knowledge into their recommendations, ensuring that your space not only looks contemporary but also utilizes materials that are durable and eco-friendly. They can suggest paints with low VOC levels, sustainable wallpapers, and finishes that are both trendy and timeless, ensuring your space remains relevant and beautiful for years to come.
Before meeting with a Color Consultant, homeowners should collect inspiration images, consider the function and mood of each space, and identify any items (furniture, art, etc.) that must be incorporated into the design. Creating a list of likes and dislikes in terms of colors and styles can also be helpful. Ensuring the space is accessible and clean for the consultation will facilitate a smooth process.
Common challenges, such as disagreements between homeowners or difficulties in visualizing the final outcome, are addressed through clear communication, 3D renderings, and samples. Consultants typically have strategies, such as mood boards and color psychology, to navigate differing opinions and help clients visualize the impact of color choices. Their expertise can guide clients toward satisfying decisions that meet the needs and preferences of all parties involved.
Yes, there are several industry certifications available for Color Consultants. Certifications such as the Certified Color Expert (CCE) and the International Association of Color Consultants (IACC) designation demonstrate a consultantʼs commitment to their craft, ensuring they have undergone rigorous training in color theory, psychology, and application. When searching for a Color Consulting Company, checking for these certifications can provide an added layer of assurance in their expertise.
A clear and open dialogue about budget constraints is crucial from the start. A reputable Color Consultant will discuss costs upfront and strive to work within your budget, offering alternatives and suggestions to achieve your desired outcome without compromising quality. They can prioritize project elements to tackle immediate needs while planning future updates, ensuring financial resources are utilized effectively. Always ask for a detailed estimate that includes all expected costs to avoid surprises.
