Color Consultant Archives - Tree City Painting

It might be fun to pick out those color swatches at the store, but they’re not a reliable way to match color to existing interior paint–even if you know you’re purchasing the same color as before. The printing method used to create these swatches is not the same type of color process used to mix actual paint, so getting an accurate idea of what your color will look like can be a challenge. You’ll want to rely on a competent Saline MI, interior painter to do the job correctly.

Elements that affect color matching:

Age
Interior paint color changes as it ages. Paint applied a year ago will not look the same when reapplied or touched up, even if you’re using leftovers from the same can you’ve been saving in the basement. All colored objects change over time due to weather, exposure to UV light and air conditions, and how the surface is treated. Is it in the kitchen where it’s wiped down with a rag every so often? Is it in the basement where it’s dark and humid?

Metamerisim
Metamerism is when the same color can look like a completely different color in different light conditions. This complicates an interior painter’s job even more when attempting to match paint color in your home.

Gloss and Sheen
Eggshell? Flat? Satin? Sheen dramatically affects the color of paint. It can trick the eye into seeing a slightly brighter or richer version of a color. Make sure your interior painting professional does a sample brushout of all the different types of finishes.

Tree City Painting always applies a sample brushout of all your finish paint drawn from existing formulas, computer spectrophotometer color matches, or color card selections. All paint colors are approved for coverage and appearance by you prior to the start of the finish painting.

Anderson Paint Color Consultant Consider hiring a color consultant or interior designer to help you make important aesthetic decisions that will impact the look and feel of your home for years to come. There are many compelling reasons to hire a local Ann Arbor color consultant or interior designer for your home.

Return on investment
Initially, it might take a few extra dollars to hire a local Ann Arbor color consultant, but you could avoid costly mistakes that will not only increase the perceived value but the actual value of your home. So whether you’re looking to give the interior of your home a facelift or sell your current home, a professional designer will increase the likelihood of success and overall satisfaction.

A second (professional) opinion
A designer not only offers you his/her professional assessment of your current color scheme but an extra set of eyes that are trained to pick up on details you might have overlooked. He/she will listen to your goals and help guide you to a successful end result that everyone is happy with.

Connections
A color consultant might already have a relationship with a local Ann Arbor interior painter and contractors whom he/she knows to do quality work. This saves you the time it would take to find a reliable interior painter whom you would trust to work inside your home.

More resources
Interior designers have access to resources, like discounts, special inventory, or preferential priority with vendors, that are not as accessible to the general public inquiring on their own.

The “wow” factor
Color consultants will give you that unique, one-of-a-kind look that will impress your guests and make you feel invigorated about the interior of your own home. They’re very experienced in choosing complementary color schemes that work with the flow of an interior space.

Sell your home faster
A designer can potentially add a lot to the aesthetic of your Ann Arbor home to increase the appeal for showing and selling. This not only translates to a potentially higher sale price in a competitive market but also helps insure you wouldn’t lose a buyer due to an unappealing interior painting job.

Lift the weight off your shoulders
Homeowners in Ann Arbor might try to do it all themselves and can get very frustrated in the process. A designer with a trained eye can help with aesthetic decisions that may not come easily to everyone. Choosing your favorite color might sound exciting but is not always the best decision for the layout of your home. The many nuances of color in an interior space can be orchestrated well by someone with experience.

Satisfaction
It’s no surprise that a color consultant has the skills to enhance your home, whether it be for you, your family or for resale. A professional can ensure you achieve the look you desire for your home.
