In-store Color Consultation
Looking for new ideas on color? Looking for the perfect color?
In-store color consultations are available with purchase to all of our Northside Decorating customers. This includes a 10-20 minute visit with a color specialist. By assisting you in narrowing down your color selections, a color specialist can give you a color palette to work from when choosing colors for your space.
No appointment necessary. Clients will be assisted in the order of their arrival.
Color Specialists are available every day.
To make the most of an in-store visit you may consider bringing the following to make your visit more productive:
- Photos of rooms and/or furniture
- Fabric samples (These can just be swatches of fabrics with colors that you love and inspire you, they don’t necessarily have to be the actual fabrics that you are intending to use in your space.
- Throw pillows or accessories with colors that you love.
In-home color consultations are also available for a fee. Ask our Color Specialist about pricing.
