Whether we lean towards a palette of hot fuchsias and oranges or cool blues and calm neutrals, adding color allows us to make dramatic or subtle design changes in our home or office that will inspire our day to day lives.

Having spent numerous years studying color theory in her work as a painter and fine artist, Anastasia understands the science of color on an elemental level. She intuitively knows how the subtle nuances in color combinations and color relationships (beyond paint on a wall) can create an environment that evokes different moods and atmospheres.

Finding the right color and paint can be a dizzying process. With so many brands of paint on the market and so many color choices, it's not as easy a process as one might imagine. "I can help explain the array of color choices from eco-friendly low VOC paint to the most economical brands," explained Anastasia. "I share with my clients the best paint brands on the market today and present them with the best choices for their particular project."

Anastasia offers clients the opportunity to take part in the process of finding the right combinations of hues for their home. By painting a sampling of color swatches on walls clients will get to see how colors change based on time of day, light and weather. Clients get to live with a few possibilities until the right one emerges. Color consultation is an essential part of the design process and in the end, getting colors "right" will save clients both time and money.
