Specializing in choosing color for Providence Downs South, NC

The homes in Providence Downs South in South Charlotte are very large. They are anywhere from 7,000 - 10,000 sq. ft. and usually close or over $1,000,000. Now with a home this size, how can you NOT afford to choose the right color? Choosing the wrong color for a home this size AND going one step further and painting it the wrong color is a very, very costly mistake. What to do? Hire a Color Expert who specializes in choosing color for these large homes. 

Here's what can happen if the wrong color and design is chosen - keep in mind - this home is on the market. It should look perfect but does it?

Here is the dining room. It's big, has gorgeous wood flooring, nice decor and custom drapery all are pluses. Now what is not sitting well with me is the color that was chosen for this room. It's very monochromatic, which is fine but too much of a good color can be a bit dull. My eye darts from the walls to the ceiling because of the pattern. Vertical stripes on the walls and a dark ceiling with contrasting white framing is just too much!

How would I change the paint color in this dining room? Well there are several factors to consider. One, is the gold color that is in the foyer. Second, the wall color in the dining room needs to coordinate with the area rug, drapery and seat cushions. Since those three are neural, we just have to contend with the foyer color.

The dining room is the one room where you can have a little burst of substantial color. I chose this salmon for several reasons. One, it counteracts all the yellow tones in the surrounding rooms, it's a new, trendy color and it's not the typical red dining room that you  see in just about every one's home. 

Finishing this room off with a soft neutral on the ceiling is classy and elegant. No white ceilings here.

I see it this way - if you're hiring a Color Expert to choose color for your home, the color better and should be unique to JUST YOU otherwise, you can have a “Color Consultant” from one of the paint stores to chose any old color for you.
