"Lizzie helped me to move forward with my colour planning with confidence. She also helped me see with fresh eyes. The final result was a more elegant home."
NINA BISHOP, Mullumbimby

Colour is one of the most effective ways to create an atmosphere, make an impression or express individuality in a home or business . When it comes to creating a cohesive feeling between existing elements and say, the colour of the walls, getting the right balance can be trickier than one might think !  If it doesn't all gel together, something won't feel right, even if you can't put your finger on it.

A Living Balance Designs Colour consultation can help with revitalising an existing space , giving a building exterior a facelift, or with creating a desired ambience. The function of the space , the overall mood desired and how it links up with surrounding rooms and zones will be factored into the assessment.  If you're planning to sell down the track, updating a colour scheme, inside or out, can potentially increase the property's value or saleability.

If you already have colour choices in mind, a consultation can help clients come to a clearer decision.

Depending on where you start, Lizzie can also help you see how colour can unify existing fixtures, finishes., furniture,,  flooring, tiles, pavers, windows and roofing.

As colour is affected by natural and artificial lighting , there can be considerable changes to the room or external features depending on the time of day and aspect. Please note therefore- all recommendations require being viewed by the client at different times of day. Lizzie will advise you of this during the consultation.

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL

" Lizzie helped me with designing the back section of the house  -the bathroom / laundry / toilet and hallway from the back door. We gutted the space so the layout options were endless – and quite overwhelming. I was so grateful for her wisdom on layout, space and colour which gave me some structure to follow in the design process.

Lizzie really bought my attention to the difference between morning and afternoon light, how it affects the feel of a space, and the colours you would use with different light exposure. Working in a small space, she was great at bringing attention to a feeling of flow in the space, to make sure it was not tight and awkward when choosing where to place things.  And then it came to colour … wow – the endless world of whites. I had not conceived of how big an impact the subtle difference of shade would make. We chose a different white for the bathroom and the hallway/laundry/ toilet area, which I would not have thought to do. Having done it I see now how much impact it has ... I was really grateful to have such a carefully considered perspective from Lizzie while working out colour and design."
