#  Why You Need A Professional Colour Consultant  


Whether you’re redecorating one room or your entire home, paint colours are one of those decisions which can keep you up all night. What might suit a north-facing room may not work in a south-facing space, what looks good on the chart looks different on the wall, while matching colour schemes to furniture can feel like an overwhelming and never-ending task. Alas, all is not lost. Help is at hand thanks to Farrow &amp; Ball's colour consultancy service. Trust us, it'll be the best £195 you spend.

###### CREATED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH FARROW &amp; BALL

   
You Know It’s Money Well Spent

It’s one thing to paint an entire room only to realise it’s not dark enough or doesn’t work with the existing furniture. And while we’d all love to hire the service of an interior designer to avoid making expensive mistakes, it’s not always part of the budget. Thankfully, [colour consultancy ](https://www.farrow-ball.com/colour-consultancy)sessions start at just £195 per hour, although you may have to factor in a bit extra if you happen to live some distance from a Farrow &amp; Ball showroom.

### You Walk Away With A Complete Scheme

Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by endless possibilities or looking to try something new, Farrow &amp; Ball’s in-home Colour Consultants are on hand to provide expert advice and ensure they create a bespoke colour scheme designed around your home and needs. With the service providing a complete run-through for four separate rooms, a colour consultant takes all the stress out of the process, while also leaving you with a holistic approach to the entire design.

### You Receive Expert Advice

Every one of Farrow &amp; Ball’s Colour Consultants comes from a design background, which allows them to bring their own unique and professional approach to every project. Of course, what they all have in common is their expertise, enthusiasm, and in-depth knowledge of the Farrow &amp; Ball colour chart. With that in mind, they can draw on their past work and experience to ensure everything about your project runs smoothly.

### You Work In Collaboration

Don’t worry about consultants coming in and forcing their ideas on you. Throughout the entire process, it’ll be your tastes, ideas, and lifestyle at the forefront of every decision. Don’t be shy about referencing your favourite images from magazines or social media, either. It’s just the consultant’s job to ensure you’ve taken everything into account – think architecture, lighting, as well as how you plan to use the room. Having worked together, you’ll then be sent a written specification, including colour swatches, finishes and wallpaper samples – all of which you’re free to share with your decorator.

### You Have Access To All The Trends

Farrow &amp; Ball work closely with a wide range of design leaders and creative thinkers, from the industry’s favourite interior designers to traditional establishments like the Natural History Museum. It’s what gives them the inside track on all the latest developments, so you can be sure the advice you receive is always ahead of the curve.

### Plus, You Get A Discount

It’s not a brand known for discounting – ever – but colour consultancy customers will receive 15% off any orders placed in a Farrow &amp; Ball showroom until the end of March, helping you make back some of your money in no time. And don’t worry if you can’t squeeze in a visit to the showroom yourself - a decorator can still redeem the offer in-store simply by quoting your address.
