Interior Design Color – Perfect Paint Palettes

FIND COLOR SCHEMES FOR ANY CREATIVE PROJECT

If you’d love to use beautiful, original color but can’t decide which colors, or if you lack the confidence to commit, then this course is for you!

I have spent many years teaching color theory to professional designers, and in this class I’ll share the shortcuts and tricks of the trade that interior designers use to make sure that colors and clients are perfectly matched, and that each client gets a perfect palette of paint for their home.

WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?

You will begin by working conceptually to create color inspiration, and then use this to generate paint and pigment references that can be applied for real!

By the end of the class you’ll have a recipe of color for a room in your home. Or, for any other creative project!

WHY YOU SHOULD TAKE THIS CLASS?

Like good food, good color is one of life’s great joys! More than ever you need your home to feel personal, and to be your haven. With opportunities for color in the home being almost limitless, knowing where to start can be bewildering, and committing to color can be scary.

The class handbook gives you a simple framework for building an original palette of color that is matched to your home and that makes your heart sing. Even better, it then guides you to track down your colors in the real world.

WHO SHOULD TAKE THIS CLASS?

This class is suited to all levels; you don’t need any prior knowledge and the class could help experienced professionals too. I will share how professionals generate color schemes on demand.

THE RESOURCES YOU’LL NEED TO TAKE THIS CLASS?

The project for this course is to create your own unique palette of color for a design project.  The course introduces  two alternative methods to do this, one digital, one using art materials.  You can choose which method to follow.  Here are the resources you’ll need depending on which method you pick:

Method One: The Digital Method

A computer, or tablet, or smartphone, using software you are already familiar with, such as PowerPoint, Keynote, Indesign or Photoshop, OR using simple and free online tools, as guided by video lessons. 

Method Two: Using Art Materials

Plain white paper, scissors, and your choice of medium: paint (with brushes, etc.), or pastels, or pencils, or similar art product.

PAINTING YOUR HOME

If you plan to convert your color palette into paint references and order paint for your home, you will need access to one of the following:

– Local paint store

– Paint company paint charts

– Paint company websites

– Digital reference color conversion websites (all information provided in the course) 

Additionally, you must order paint samples and test these at home – to make sure you are entirely happy with the choice – before committing to a large paint purchase.
