The image depicts a shop front with contrasting colors and architectural details. The left side features a dark-colored door with rounded and rectangular paneling, situated within an ornate archway with intricate decorative molding above. The right side showcases a red-painted storefront with large glass windows and elegant trim. In front, there is a sidewalk with tiled stones, a black pole, a small chain, and a porch with a basket of flowers, indicating an inviting entrance.

Colour changes how we experience a space

Colour is never quite on its own.

It meets light, architecture, materials, objects, art - and everything else already present in a space.

It is the relationship between them that matters.

Dead and dried brown and green ivy leaves and twigs tangled on a blue metal fence.

A framed painting of a cityscape hanging on a dark green gallery wall, with a white information plaque beneath it casting a shadow on the wall.

Art comes alive with the right colour.

It serves the work by revealing its nuances.

Architectural view of a building with concrete arches and large windows.

Close-up of light-colored paper with visible creases and subtle texture.

Close-up image of a marbled pattern with brown, blue, orange, and white swirls and speckles.

And sometimes, colour should make you look twice.

There isn’t one right way to use colour.

There is only the right relationship for the place.

Colour decisions are always about context.

Colour in practice

Close-up of a green velvet sofa with a black and white patterned pillow, next to a multicolored abstract patterned rug.

Living room with a black-framed television, a white coffee table with books, a green chair, a beige couch with yellow pillows, a large monstera plant in a glass vase, and wall art on a white wall.

Mid-century modern chandelier with white globe lights and brass accents hanging from a ceiling with decorative ceiling medallion.

A round mirror on a dark teal wall with a white orb light fixture above it. The mirror reflects a part of a shower with white subway tiles and a silver showerhead.

A bright room featuring a balcony with glass doors, a tall white floor lamp with a gold tripod base, a wooden coffee table with books and a green glass vase with flowers, patterned rug, and a chandelier hanging from the ceiling.

Colour has always been at the heart of my work.

With a background in interior design and experience as a colour consultant, I work across art, architecture and space, helping make colour decisions that feel right for the place, the materials and what happens there.
