Colour consulting

Bad colour selection will detract from the value and amenity of any space. Lady Darwin specialises in colour theory. When you think of colour and design do the words balance, rhythm, pattern, emphasis, contrast, unity and movement seem foreign to you? I am here to help!

Having studied colour history as well as colour psychology I can provide a complete service that incorporates all interior and exterior finishes for homes and venues.
