What Is a Master Color
Consultation?
A Master Color Consultation is a personalized design service focused on selecting the perfect color palette to enhance your space and reflect your unique style. At Merrow Staging & Design, we understand that color isn’t just about aesthetics—it sets the tone, defines the mood, and elevates the overall atmosphere of your home.
Our expert guidance goes beyond just picking paint swatches. We assess the lighting, existing furnishings, architectural features, and the ambiance you want to achieve. Whether you're updating a single room or reimagining your entire home, we help you make confident color choices that bring cohesion, warmth, and sophistication to your space.
From bold statements to timeless neutrals, our color consultations are designed to create environments that feel both beautifully curated and authentically you.
Our Process
Color can completely transform a space—but choosing the right one takes more than a trip to the paint store. At Merrow Staging & Design, our Master Color Consultation Process helps you confidently select colors that enhance your home’s architecture, lighting, and overall design style.
Step 1: Schedule Your In-Home Color Consultation
We begin with a personalized, in-home consultation. Deirdre Dugan will walk through your space to evaluate the natural and artificial lighting, existing furnishings, finishes, and the overall feel you want to achieve.
Step 2: Color Palette Recommendations
During the consultation, Deirdre provides expert guidance on paint colors, finishes, and coordinating tones for walls, trim, cabinetry, and beyond. Whether you're refreshing one room or creating a whole-home palette, we focus on colors that feel cohesive, timeless, and tailored to you.
Step 3: Custom Color Plan & Selection Guide
At the end of your session, you’ll receive a customized color plan and reference guide to help you move forward with painting, decorating, or staging decisions. This plan ensures clarity and confidence—making the process smoother whether you're working with a painter or managing the project yourself.
Step 4: Flexible Implementation Options
You can choose to apply the plan independently or have Merrow Staging & Design assist with sourcing materials, overseeing the design process, or coordinating with painters and finish specialists. We’re here to support you every step of the way.
Step 5: Add-On Services Available
To complement your new color palette, we also offer:
Furniture and Décor Sourcing
Interior Styling and Staging
Professional Organizing
Our goal is to help you create a space that feels effortlessly curated, balanced, and beautifully your own.
