Colour Advice for Malvern homes
There is a reason so many Malvern houses end up in heritage palettes — the hills, the stone and the original joinery set the tone, and modern brilliant white can look harsh against them. Kevin helps you land on colours that suit a period house without making it feel like a museum, and gets the whites and off-whites right, which is where most schemes go wrong.
- Heritage and period-appropriate palettes for Victorian and Edwardian rooms
- Off-whites and trim colours matched to original timber and stone
- Large boards sampled against the hillside light before anything is bought
How Kevin runs a colour advice job
A conversation first
Before any colour cards come out, Kevin asks what you actually want from the room — restful or lively, period or contemporary, and what has to stay: a carpet, a sofa, a worktop, a favourite piece of art.
Reading the light
Which way the windows face, how much sky the room sees, whether it is used mostly by day or by lamplight. A north-facing sitting room and a south-facing kitchen need different colours to feel the same warmth.
Building a palette
Kevin puts together wall, ceiling, woodwork and feature colours that work as a set, and shows how they flow from room to room through the hall so the house feels joined up rather than a list of separate decisions.
Sample boards, not patches
Colours are brushed out in two coats onto boards you can move around the room and stand against the carpet and curtains at different times of day. No blotchy test squares left on your walls.
Written summary
You get the final choices written down — brand, exact colour name, finish and where each one goes — so the decorating quote matches the plan, whoever ends up doing the work.
