]]> Interior and exterior color consulting booked as a pair. Four visits total, one cohesive palette inside and out.

Some homes need both — and doing them together means the inside and outside work as a single palette rather than two separate decisions made months apart.

The bundle includes the full interior consultation (two visits + evaluation sheet) and the full exterior consultation (two visits + evaluation sheet), scheduled to suit your project timeline. They can run back to back or weeks apart depending on what your renovation requires.

What you leave with: a tested, cohesive color palette for your entire home — inside and out — and the confidence to move forward.

Most paint decisions get made at the store, under fluorescent lights, against a white wall. Then the color goes up at home and something feels off — too cool, too flat, fighting with the trim.

Color is relational. It shifts with the light in your rooms, the undertones in your floors, the direction your windows face. Getting it right means looking at all of it together, in your space, at the right time of day.

That's what this service is for.

How it works

The process

Visit one — 90 minutes

We walk your space together. I assess natural and artificial light, take stock of your fixed finishes, and narrow the field. You leave with a focused set of samples worth testing — not a pile of maybes.

Between visits

You live with the samples. I'll send you an evaluation sheet that walks you through exactly what to look for, when to look, and how to read what you're seeing — so the follow-up conversation is grounded in what actually happened in your space, not just a gut feeling.

Visit two — 30 minutes

We review what you've observed, make final calls, and close out any remaining questions. By the end, you have a palette you're confident in.

Once you purchase, I'll be in touch to schedule both visits at a time that works of us.

$595

Two visits + evaluation sheet. Siding, trim, doors, and accent colors assessed in natural light.

Choosing color is one of the last decisions people make and one of the first things they second-guess. It looks simple until you’re holding twelve swatches that all seemed right at the store and now look like completely different colors on your wall.

The problem isn’t your eye. It’s that color doesn’t exist in isolation. A white that reads crisp and clean in a south-facing room can look dingy in a north-facing one. A warm greige that works beautifully with honey oak floors can pull yellow against painted millwork. Paint chips don’t tell you any of that.

I’ve been working with color in residential spaces for years — across renovations, refreshes, and everything in between. I know how light moves through a room over the course of a day, how undertones interact with materials you can’t change, and how to build a palette that holds together from room to room without feeling coordinated in an obvious way.

This consultation works whether you’re repainting a single room, choosing colors for a full renovation, or just moved in and need a place to start. The scope depends on what your home needs — we’ll sort that out together.

What you leave with: a focused set of tested paint samples, a clear palette, and the confidence to move forward without starting over.

Most renovation projects go sideways before a single decision gets made — because nobody stopped to ask the right questions first.

This is a 90-minute consultation in your home. I'll look at the existing conditions, listen to how you actually use the space, and help you figure out what the project really is before you commit to anything. Historic renovation, interior design, or somewhere in between — we'll sort that out together.

By the end of our visit, you'll have a much clearer picture of what the project actually is, what it will take, and whether Studio Olio is the right fit. Once you purchase, I'll be in touch to schedule at a time that works for you.

]]> What happens in the consultation

We walk the home together. I’m looking at the existing conditions — what’s working, what isn’t, what the house is asking for — and listening to how you actually use the space day to day.

Most clients come in with a general sense that something needs to change but aren’t sure where to start or how far to take it. The consultation is where that gets sorted out. You’ll leave with a clear scope, a sense of the process, and an honest assessment of what the project involves.

This consultation is the starting point for all Studio Olio projects — historic renovation, interior design, or both. If you’re not sure which category your home falls into, that’s fine. We’ll figure it out together.

The $650 fee is credited in full toward the design fee if you move forward with the project.
