How is colour advice given?
It all sounds very nice, but how does it work? Read all about the interior colour consultation here; from start to finish.
Start with an introductory conversation
A colour consultation always starts with an introductory conversation. In it, the interior stylist gets to know your taste and forms a picture of the house. You also agree on how much you want to do yourself and what the stylist will do for you. For example, will you paint the walls yourself or have someone else do it for you? It is also possible to make appointments when it comes to furnishing.
Visualise a mood board
After making the appointments, the stylist will get to work. He or she creates a moodboard around the colour advice and possibly for the interior. With a mood board, she visualises the new atmosphere for your home. The interior stylist sends you the mood board and you provide feedback. The stylist then proceeds on the basis of the moodboard and feedback.
Get appropriate advice
Depending on the arrangements made, you will receive advice on the use of certain paints and colours. Are you having the walls painted? Then someone will work on this. Do you want advice on your interior? Then of course the stylist will also take care of this for you. So you can enjoy the beautiful result of the interior colour advice in no time.

Colour advice
Are you looking for someone to come along with colour palettes and wall paint colour examples? Then a colour consultation for your interior will suffice. A stylist will help you choose from the latest colours for your living room or tell you which colour is best when painting your cupboard.
Specialist for your interior
Do you want more guidance than just advice on which wall colour to choose? Then an interior stylist might be the best choice. You and the stylist will look for items you like. The stylist advises and gives you interior advice on the use of colour, but also on the purchase and placement of furniture. It is especially important that everything forms a beautiful whole.

Make your own mood board
Before calling in a specialist for the interior colour advice, it’s a good idea to make a mood board yourself. This will give you a good idea of what you like and will also help the interior stylist. Collect newspapers, (interior) magazines and leaflets to create a moodboard that is as complete as possible.
Go for responsible materials
After receiving the interior colour advice, it is good to look at the materials. For example, consider ecological paints that are less harmful to the environment. You can recognise this type of paint by its EU Ecolabel. Do you use wood in your interior for a warm shade? Then pay attention to the FSC label to choose sustainable wood.
Compare different interior stylists
Every stylist has different prices, which means that the price of hiring a stylist varies considerably. It is therefore always a good idea to compare quotations. This way, you will know exactly what is included in the interior colour advice and you will be able to choose the stylist who makes your interior wishes come true.
