Here is a methodical way of selecting color schemes,
once you have taken the client brief.
1. Make a cup of coffee or tea and sit in the space that you are going to undertake the changes.
2. Look around and familiarize yourself with the existing surroundings and how they are currently used.
3. Take a pen and paper and note all the things that work in the room and all that do not – highlight any architectural features and note any eyesores that will need to be camouflaged.
Review the natural and artificial lighting.
Take photographs of the room, (these are very useful for reference and also portfolio work later as “before and after shots”).
4. Make a list of all the items, areas, surfaces that there are. To simplify this start at the ceiling and work down. You will use this information to collate your scheme for the client and tradespeople to work from.
