Your local colour consultation team in Fitzrovia
We provide colour consultation across Fitzrovia (W1T), Camden and Westminster, working with Georgian terraces, mansion flats and apartments set above ground-floor offices, design studios and showrooms. The light, the proportions and the period all pull a scheme in different directions, so you get an unhurried hour or two on site, sample boards judged on your own walls, and a written palette you can decorate from with confidence.
Fitzrovia is a busy media and design district where homes, agencies and studios share the same period buildings. The local housing stock, Georgian terraces, mansion flats and apartments set above ground-floor offices, design studios and showrooms, typically has tall georgian sash windows, deep skirting and cornices, lath-and-plaster walls and converted upper-floor flats with high foot traffic below. We work on properties right across the area, including streets near BT Tower.
What colour consultation in Fitzrovia usually involves
Colour Consultation in Fitzrovia covers walls, ceilings and feature areas, woodwork, doors and skirting and finishes and sheen levels, matched to the georgian terraces found across W1T and the way these homes are built.
The jobs we are asked for most here, like mansion flat and apartment repaints and studio and office redecoration, all start with proper prep and a fixed written price, so a georgian terraces gets a finish that lasts rather than a quick once-over.
Colour Consultation for period and Victorian homes in Fitzrovia
Period rooms in Camden rarely take a colour straight off the card. North-facing Victorian receptions go cold and grey. Deep cornicing throws shadow, original sash windows let in a light that shifts hour by hour, and we read all of that before recommending anything, then lean on the period-appropriate ranges, including Farrow & Ball, that were drawn to sit happily against old plaster and timber.
Why Fitzrovia homeowners choose us for colour consultation
Homeowners across Fitzrovia choose us because the price is fixed in writing before we start. We use trade-grade paint suited to georgian terraces, mansion flats and apartments set above ground-floor offices, design studios and showrooms, work tidily room by room (typically 1 to 2 hours on site), protect your floors and furniture, and clear our waste away before we sign the job off with you.
How we do colour consultation in Fitzrovia
-
Talk through the brief
Before we arrive we ask what you want each room to feel like, what furniture and flooring is staying, and whether you are decorating to live in, to sell or to let, so the session stays focused on real decisions. No open-ended swatch-shuffling.
-
Read the light and the room
On site we check which way each room faces, how the natural light moves across it through the day and what artificial lighting you use at night, because a colour that sings in a south-facing Primrose Hill bay can fall flat in a north-facing Kentish Town return. We judge it in place, not on a chart.
-
Test undertones with sample boards
We do not paint patches straight onto the wall. Large sample boards work better, because you can move them around the room, hold them against the woodwork and view them morning and evening, which is how we catch the green, pink or yellow undertone that only shows up next to your existing finishes.
-
Coordinate the scheme across rooms
Rooms are not decided one at a time. We plan how colours hand over from hall to reception to stairwell so the property reads as one considered whole, with walls, woodwork, ceilings and any feature areas chosen together and a sheen level specified for each.
-
Leave you a written palette
You finish with a clear schedule. Paint names, ranges, finishes and where each goes, ready to brief us or any decorator. And if you go on to book a repaint, the consultation fee comes off the decorating quote.

Colour Consultation in Fitzrovia, common questions
How much does colour consultation cost in Camden?
A colour consultation is a fixed fee. It covers a visit of one to two hours, sample-board guidance for the main rooms and a written palette you can brief any decorator with. Larger homes or whole-house schemes take longer, so we confirm the fee when we book. Book a full repaint with us afterwards and the consultation fee comes off the decorating cost.
Do I have to book painting as well?
No. It is a standalone service. Plenty of homeowners use it to brief their own decorator, or just to feel sure before buying paint. If you do book us for the work, the fee is credited against your interior painting quote.
Which paint ranges do you recommend?
We work mostly with trade-grade Dulux, Crown and Johnstone's. Farrow & Ball comes in where the colour or the period of the room calls for it. We are not tied to any one brand, so the recommendation follows the room rather than a supplier.
How long does a consultation take?
Most visits run one to two hours. It moves either way with how many rooms are involved and how settled you already are on direction. That is enough time to read the light, test undertones on boards and agree a palette you are happy to commit to.
How much does a colour consultation cost in Fitzrovia?
A fixed fee agreed at booking. Whether it is one room or a whole mansion flat planned as a single scheme is what changes it, and studios are quoted the same way. Book the decorating with us afterwards and the fee comes off that quote.
How long does a colour consultation take in a Fitzrovia mansion flat?
One to two hours on site. Flats with tall Georgian sashes take a moment longer, because the light shifts a good deal through the day and the boards want seeing in it more than once. A single studio or office room is usually settled well inside that.
Can you do a colour consultation for a Fitzrovia studio rather than a home?
Yes. Charlotte Street is full of design studios and showrooms sitting in the same period buildings as the flats above, and the method does not change: read the light, test undertones on boards, specify sheen levels that stand up to traffic. You get the same written palette to hand to whoever does the work.
