colour consultancy.
At Yellowfox, we create considered interior and exterior colour schemes for renovations and new homes across Auckland, Tauranga and Hamilton. We bring together paint colours, materials, finishes, cabinetry, flooring and hardware to create a cohesive look throughout your home.
what this includes…
digital presentation
Your digital colour scheme presentation brings together the colours, materials and finishes selected for your home. It includes a moodboard for each space, as well as an overall moodboard showing how the colour scheme flows throughout the home. The presentation includes colour and material images to help you visualise your selections, along with a detailed floor plan schedule mark-up showing where each colour and finish will be used. An architectural floor plan is required for the schedule mark-up
specification
A complete record of your selected interior and exterior colours, materials, finishes and hardware throughout your home. Your full colour specification clearly documents each selection and where it is to be used, giving you, your builder and suppliers an easy reference throughout your renovation or new build.
our approach…
We start by understanding your home, your style and how you want your spaces to feel. We look at your existing or proposed finishes, natural light, architecture and any colours or materials you have already selected. Consultations take place in one of our studios, or onsite for renovation projects.
Bringing your colours and materials together. We work through paint colours, cabinetry, flooring, tiles, benchtops, hardware and other finishes to create a cohesive colour scheme. We bring physical samples into the consultation so you can see and compare colours, textures and materials together in person.
Seeing your colour scheme come together. We then bring your selections together in a digital presentation, showing how the colours and materials work throughout your home. We can also mark up your floor plan with a colour schedule, making it clear where each colour and finish is to be used.
Giving you everything you need to move forward, you will receive a full colour specification documenting your selections, along with a box of samples to take home and refer to throughout your project. This gives you and your builder a clear reference as your renovation or new build progresses.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Absolutely. If you have already selected some colours, materials or finishes and would like a second opinion, we can work with you on an hourly basis to review your selections and provide feedback. We can also suggest alternative options where we think something could work better, and show you other products and finishes available through our studio and suppliers. You can take our advice and make the selections yourself, or if you would like more guidance, you can choose to proceed with our full colour consultancy service.

-
It is best to book your colour consultation early in your renovation or new build, before key colours and materials are confirmed. This gives us the opportunity to consider the whole home and make sure your paint colours, cabinetry, flooring, tiles and other finishes work together from the beginning.
-
Yes. We can help with both interior and exterior colour schemes. For a full home colour consultation, we consider how the exterior colours relate to the architecture and surroundings, as well as how the interior colours flow throughout the home.
-
Yes. This is an important part of our colour consultancy service. We consider your existing or selected flooring, cabinetry, tiles, benchtops, hardware, furniture and other finishes when developing your colour scheme, helping everything feel cohesive rather than competing with one another.
-
Yes. We work with clients on both renovations and new builds. Whether you are updating one room or choosing colours for an entire home, we can help bring the different finishes and materials together into a considered colour scheme.
-
You do not need to have everything figured out before getting in touch. It is helpful to have any architectural plans, existing plans, material samples or selections you have already made. Inspiration images can also be useful, along with an idea of what you like, what you do not like and any colours or finishes you would particularly like to use.
-
The cost of a colour consultation depends on the size of your home and the scope of the service required. We will discuss your project with you first and provide an estimate based on what you need.
-
Yes. We can help coordinate colours across cabinetry, benchtops, tiles, flooring, hardware and other materials. We look at the overall palette, undertones, textures and finishes to make sure the different elements work together throughout your home.
-
Yes. Our colour consultancy can be tailored to your needs, whether you are looking to update a single room or develop a colour scheme across your entire home. We can focus on the spaces where you need the most guidance and help coordinate the colours and finishes within them.
