Colour Consultancy by Georgie Wykeham

Whether you’re looking to breathe new life into a tired room or completely transform the feel of your home, our colour expert, Florence Sherwood, can help. With more than 12 years of experience advising clients on colour, she will provide bespoke paint recommendations tailored to your specific needs. 

What is The Colourist consultancy service?

The Colourist consultancy will provide you with a bespoke colour palette for your home.  Taking into account the light, architecture and finishes, Florence will talk through possible colour schemes to achieve your desired effect.  The aim is to create a scheme that flows effortlessly from one space to another creating a harmonious whole.

Why choose The Colourist consultancy?

Maybe you have:

  • An idea of what you want but are finding it difficult to choose exactly the right colours to achieve the desired effect

  • Undertaken a building project or renovation and are looking for some expert guidance to help make the most of the completed work

  • Been living with your house decorated in the same way for many years and you would like fresh eyes to guide you through something new

Florence works with colour books from Edward Bulmer, Little Greene and Farrow & Ball, she also has hand picked favourite colours from Francesca’s Paints and Papers and Paints to name a few, and is ready to tackle any scheme and style so she can help you create a truly bespoke interior.

How the service works

Prior to visiting you in the space you wish to decorate, Florence will discuss your project with you over the phone to get a good understanding of your colour preferences, any existing schemes and what you are hoping to achieve. 

During consultation Florence will work with the light and architecture of the property and any fabrics, paintings or furniture you would like to incorporate to come up with a unique colour scheme that will work in your space. 

After your consultation you will receive a presentation folder containing  a hand painted record of your recommended paint colours together with advice on finishes and a personal colour fan. 

Once you have received your folder of colour choices Florence will follow up with a 30 minute video call to talk through any final recommendations and make sure you are entirely happy with your scheme.

“Meeting with Florence to discuss colour options for our new build project was an experience that I cannot rate highly enough.  We are a multi generational family building a house together in Cornwall, so come with very different ideas about colours and what we should do. Florence was utterly BRILLIANT at getting her head around the various floor plans, building site photographs and verbal descriptions. What started as a family slightly at odds as to what to do, finished two hours later with a family utterly delighted and excited about what was chosen. Florence's knowledge of paint colours and ability to pivot quickly to try different ideas was very impressive. The icing on the cake of this service was receiving a colour chart in the post a few days later (which goes everywhere with me now as we move onto soft furnishings and finishes) and a very visual paint schedule (which is hanging in our builder's site office as we speak!). Utterly brilliant and I cannot recommend highly enough.”
