Color Consultation Benefits


While painting is a quick, budget-friendly option to refresh a space, getting color right is extremely complicated! Hiring a professional painter is a very different skill set than hiring a Certified Professional Color Consultant. Paint is minimal, the significant investment is the painter; choose the right color before investing in a professional painter!

The average cost for a local professional painter to paint a bedroom is $500, family room $1,000 and the interior of a 2,500 SF house $12,500! Varying factors play a role in the cost such as painter rate (typically $3-$7/SF), size of space, ceiling height, trim/molding/doors/cabinets/accent walls, difficulty of area to paint including obstacles to paint around (i.e. fixtures and appliances), repairs to walls, necessity to prime and paint brand/finish selected.

Value…Getting the color right the first time with a professional trained in color!

My husband and I hired Spaces to Aspire for several design service projects in our home, and we love the results. Let me share some background information: this is our second marriage, and we both owned houses. After getting married, I sold my home and moved into my husband’s house. As you can imagine, we had very different decorating styles. Karen was able to work with us, combining our ideas and finding a middle ground. We appreciated the design boards to help envision the selections and are thrilled with the outcome of furniture, accessories and the color selections are perfect. With the high cost of paint and labor, using her services for colors is definitely worth it. She is truly amazing and a pleasure to work with!
