My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Kelly Martin Interiors
Color Consulting Companies in Oakland
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. :)”

Urrutia Design
Color Consulting Companies in Oakland
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsDecember 27, 2016
“We love our new home! Jason and Martha helped us completely redesign the structure, finishes and flow of our house, including vaulting the ceilings, moving walls and incorporating a previously-built separate addition into the main body of the house. Their attention to detail shows in every room in details of the trim, the tile patterns and color combinations. The result is a welcoming, comfortable home with a consistent design that invites the outdoors in.”

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.
