Mood Swings: the Psychology of Interior Colour
Wanna relax? Head to the spa. Want to feel at one with nature? Take a stroll through the park. Looking for a little inspiration? Check out the library. But what if you could harness the essence of all of your favourite haunts right in the comfort of your own home? Enter, colour! So much more goes into a colour selection than just what is on trend.
Interior Design Services:
Custom Concepts: From a light refresher to a complete renovation. You tell us what you want and we’ll make it happen. Not sure what you want? We can help you figure that out too! Customized, functional designs to fit any budget. It’s what we do… and we do it very well.
Space: While your home may have a similar layout to others in your neighbourhood, we see the difference. It’s you! We consider each room carefully and design the space with a focus on how it functions and flows with your lifestyle.
Colour: We see a red door and we want to paint it… your colour scheme is what ties your room together. Choose the wrong one and everything else is off too. Based on your tastes, personality, furnishings and style, we’ll help you get it right – the first time.
Lighting: It’s more than just your light on the table. Warm and inviting, soft and intimate, bright and alive. Lighting plays its own part in room function and can bring flexibility in transforming your room from its day-to-day into an intimate experience with your loved ones.
Furniture: Bringing in something new can be risky behaviour. What if you pick the wrong piece? What if it doesn’t match? Don’t worry your pretty little head. We provide you with suggestions on pieces you might need right down to the finish and fabric. We can even shop for it too!
Art and Accessories: The simplest way to dress up any room is to add the right accents! It’s your polish and shine, that last step that gives you that undeniably wonderful finish. Paintings, area rugs, vases, pillows and everything in between, we’ll find the must-have pieces to compliment your design. You’ll wonder how you ever lived without them!
Staging
So you’re feeling a little outdated, it’s ok. We’ll make your space look oh-so-irresistible.
Retail Brand Consulting
Your brand is how the rest of the world interprets you. Are they getting the right message?

Biography
I started my career in the Interior Design industry obtaining a formal education, completing the University of Alberta Residential Interior Design Program. I have a passion for color – Color Theory, Color Forecasting and Color Psychology — all the while pouring over paint fan decks and dabbling with “color as paint” part-time as a Color Consultant at Benjamin Moore.
To further my color knowledge and expertise, I completed the Maria Killam Color Training Program obtaining the title of “Color Expert” as well as Kate Smith’s “Sensational Color” Certification for Color Consultants.
I also have education in other areas including: Space Planning, 3D Plan Drawings, Manual Drafting, Lighting and Furniture History.
I formed design palette after completing the certificate program at the University of Alberta. I enjoy working with clients wanting a full design, color consultations, help with plan drawings, as well as working with those in need of just those magical finishing touches.

Design Palette Services:
Interior Design
Interior Design Services can take on many different forms…Whether you are looking to design a new home, renovate an existing one, or decorate a room or rooms, these are all aspects of what design services look like.
Have you been overwhelmed by trying to figure out what furniture, draperies, lighting or flooring would be right for your space? design palette can help you narrow down the endless choices and create a plan that is right for you, your home and your lifestyle.
Design services can also be teaming up with the right trades people so that your project comes to completion-on budget-and on time! Coordinating carpenters, plumbers, electricians, etc. can be difficult and time consuming…letting a professional organize and oversee your project can result in peace of mind.
Color Consultation
Choosing the right color can be a very difficult thing to do. Putting a number of colors together can be even more confusing; “why does this color look dirty?”, “why does it look wrong when it looked so right at the paint store?”, “does it look right with the other colors I’ve chosen?”….these are some of the questions that can cause one to hesitate or even give up.
Obtaining a professional Color Consultation can take the mystery out of color choices. At design palette, educating the client about color and helping them to understand why those particular colors are “right” for the application is key.
A Color Consultant will consider all your fixed elements, your furnishings, the flow of your rooms, and the undertones of all involved.
A Color Consultation can help take a space from “satisfactory” to “spectacular”
2D & 3D Plan Drawings
Has anyone ever said to you, “picture this…” and you really can’t? 2-Dimensional Plan drawings are wonderful tools to assist in visualizing changes proposed to a space. 3-Dimensional Drawings are an even better way to enable one to see “what can be”.
At design palette, 3-D drawings can be made for a number of design projects:
* space planning
* changes in furniture and accessories
* renovations to a space
* trying out Color Options for a room(s)
Whatever your project, 2-D or 3-D drawings can be a good investment to ensure that you have the vision and the guess-work is taken out of the equation.
