Colour Consultancy With A Difference…

Finding inspiration for your room or home is the easy part, getting that vision from your head and onto the walls can be absolutely exhausting. Our goal with a consultancy service is to guide at all stages and allow the process of making your house into a home, as easy and stress free as possible. Whether it’s choosing colours to complement your fabrics and style, to paint quantities and finish, our consultants have a wealth of knowledge to help you create a bespoke palette for you.  

That said sometimes we all need direction and help,  so we are very excited to offer you expert colour consultancy in all its forms for the first time.

There are three flexible options: our consultants can visit you in person at home or on site, you can book a virtual consultancy service to speak to us by phone or video or we can give you free colour advice online by email. All booked on our website. Not only will we help you create your dream scheme but we will support you with advice on choosing the right paint finish and, most importantly, the correct preparation.

We are delighted to announce we have expanded our incredible In-Home Consultancy service. We have now added five incredibly talented designers to our team meaning our geographical reach has extended even further and booking is far more convenient for you, our lovely customers! Our consultants have all been trained by the ‘colour man’ himself, Edward Bulmer,  and aside from having expert design flair and colour know-how, they are passionate about creating healthier interiors which are kind to both our people and our planet. So how does it work….

We offer a service that cannot be beaten, not only will you have the pleasure of decorating your home in paint that is kind to the earth, vibrant and simply gorgeous. After your consultation you will receive a decoration schedule via email and post, you will also receive a parcel containing A5 colour cards and sample pots of certain colours and shades that you have discussed with your consultant. We believe it is important to get a “feel” for the paint, a chance to view its quality, before making a larger purchase.   

Your colour journey with us is a collaborative one, the start of a process, and we are here to continue providing guidance for however long you should need. Whether your house is big or small, period or modern, our experts want to help you achieve your dream home. We have tailored our  in-home service for ‘Country home consultancy’ and ‘Townhouse consultancy’, click here to read all about this personalised service and to start your journey.

We also offer virtual colour consultancies so we can give you colour advice in the comfort of your own home!

Simply book your appointment using our online booking system – here you will be able to add photographs of your project/space and any fabrics, furniture, fittings, inspiration, as much information as you can give. You will receive a link/call to start your consultation with one of our expert colour consultants and afterwards, we shall email you within 24 hours with a list of colour suggestions per room. We shall also advise on finish, preparation and guidance on quantities required for your space.

Looking for a room refresh?

Sometimes all you need is a lick of paint to update and transform your space. Choosing colour can be daunting but our team of colour experts are here to help and you can get FREE advice by email for 1 to 2 rooms. Simply email us colourconsultancy@edwardbulmerpaint.co.uk

We encourage you to take as many photographs as possible of the room in question, any fixtures, fittings and fabrics – anything to help us build a picture. Currently in renovation? You can send us over architectural plans or head straight to the next step!

Spoilt for choice or don’t know where to start? The first step is to make sure you have our new colour chart. We know that it can feel totally overwhelming to choose from numerous paint brands, 1000’s of different colours, even 100’s of different versions of the same colour! Sometimes it seems like the paint industry has slightly overdone it!

On our chart you will find a main collection of just 102 natural colours, created by ‘colour man’ Edward. As a designer Edward has given you an exact range of colours, which are historically resonant but comfortably modern, the colours he needs and uses for his own interior design projects.  You will find you don’t need any more choice and each and every colour sits proudly on our colour chart, the fact they are all made from the same 12 earth and mineral pigments means they all work together in tonal harmony so you really cannot go wrong.

In addition to these, Edward has created ‘The Shade Collection’, 24 colours, marked *, these are available in 60%, 40% and 20% of the full pigment – for when you need it just that smidgen lighter for your scheme and to help you choose and use colour like a pro we have illustrated 3 examples at the end of the new chart!

We have also included 9 of our 12 nursery colours on new this chart, all 12 are showcased online here, whilst these were created with children’s spaces in mind, they work beautifully in any room and offer you just a little more (but not too much!!) choice.
