We don't know about you, but Autumn makes us want to hunker down indoors with a cuppa tea, under a blanket to hibernate for the foreseeable; the air is biting, the days get shorter, and suddenly that wall you’ve been “meaning to paint all year” is staring at you like a pumpkin spice latte that’s gone cold. If you’ve been itching to refresh your space, now’s the perfect time and a colour consultation could be the secret ingredient to get you started.
Why a Colour Consultation Can Transform Your Home.
Sure, you could grab a few tester pots, slap them on the wall, and hope for the best, but chances are you’ll end up with a patchwork of “almost right” shades and a drawer of paint samples you’ll never use again.
A colour consultation saves you from the guessing game. With our friendly, expert guidance, you’ll:
- Avoid costly mistakes
- Save time sifting through hundreds of samples
- Receive tailored, expert advice that will bring clarity and new energy to your project
- End up with colours that actually look amazing in your lighting and your home
Our Colour Consultant's will guide you through the entire process.
How Seasonal Changes Affect Colour Choices.
Here’s the thing: colours don’t exist in isolation, they're constantly affected by surroundings. The soft golden light of autumn can warm up earthy tones but make cooler shades feel a little flat. What looks fresh in summer might suddenly feel stark in November.
And if you hadn’t already noticed, days are getting drastically shorter (boooo), so it’s likely you'll need to consider artificial lighting into your schemes too. (And don't get us started on existing decor!)
That’s why autumn is a brilliant time to rethink your palette. Warm neutrals, muted greens and rich terracottas feel especially comforting now, and will stand the test of time through all seasons to come too.
Dirty Red brings a feeling of comfort and and autumnal warmth to living rooms and bedrooms.
What to Expect from a Colour Consultation.
The Initial Assessment.
During the video call, we’ll take a proper look at your space: its natural light, the layout, and the decor you already love and delve into your thoughts and expectations for the space.
Tailored Colour Recommendations.
After the call, you’ll receive a peronalised colour report which will include advice on specific colours, finishes and quantities of paint for each project. That's right, we’ve done all the hard work for you.
Sample Testing and Final Selection.
You’ll be guided to test paint samples in your room before making the final call and if we need to make any amendments, we’re here for you!
Testing paint samples in situ is a vital step in ensuring you love the colour in your home.
Why Now Is the Right Time to Book.
Autumn is a season of change, the light shifts, the air cools, and colours come alive. If you can get your palette right now, it’ll feel beautiful all year round.
Also, if you book now, you'll have plenty of time to refresh your interiors before, dare we say it... the Christmas holidays (and before you’re too busy wrapping presents to think about paint).
Colour consultations are in demand, slots fill up fast, so make sure you're ahead of the game and get those niggling projects done and dusted ASAP.

Final Tips Before Your Consultation
Gather photos, mood boards, or Pinterest inspiration, or even if it's just gather your thoughts on the types of styles and colours you're drawn to, it all helps make the session flow smoothly.
Remember, there is no right or wrong when it comes to colour, it's about the right colours for you and your space. At YesColours we will be asking you about the intended mood for the space and the practical elements of the space too, so be prepared to do a little soul searching! But don’t worry, our friendly consultants are experts at teasing out what you love and translating it into the perfect colour palette.
So, grab that blanket, pour a brew, and let’s make this autumn the season your home finally feels like you.
