Unveiling the Secret: Why the “Perfect” Color Might Be Ruining Your Home (and How to Fix It!)

Have you ever stared at a wall of paint swatches, paralyzed by the sheer number of choices? You know it’s time to repaint or select new finishes, but the thought of picking the wrong color and creating a disjointed, unpleasant space leaves you frozen.

This is a surprisingly common problem – and rightfully so, because the wrong color can throw the entire aesthetic off balance and cost you lots more to fix unexpected color mistakes.

The High Cost of the Wrong Choice

Sure, paint itself might be relatively inexpensive. But consider the bigger picture: the time spent agonizing over colors, the cost of repainting multiple times, or the hassle required to fix the mistake if the DIY route goes south if you don’t get it right the first time. And let’s not forget the wasted money on endless sample trips (who has time for that?!).

The Magic of a True Color Expert

But, there IS a better way! Enter the Certified True Color Expert®️: your secret weapon in the war against the color woes. Here’s where I come in.

I’m trained in Maria Killam’s Color Confidence Method, a revolutionary system that removes the guesswork from color selection. Unlike traditional color theory training, which is abstract and doesn’t really help you find the right color, the True Colour Expert® Training by Maria Killam is a practical, step-by-step process that works seamlessly for any design project.

Maria Killam: The Color Guru

Maria Killam is a global phenomenon – a decorator, stylist, speaker, educator, and the creator of the world reknown True Colour Expert® Training. For more than 20 years, she’s helped countless homeowners and designers understand how to find the RIGHT colors for any design project.

What sets Maria and her training apart? Forget the outdated notion that every designer has a magic eye for color. Certified True Color Experts like myself are specifically trained to work with existing elements in your home. We’re the puzzle masters who find the perfect color piece to complete the picture, considering things like your fixed elements, furniture, art, and even the undertones in your flooring or countertops.

Why You Need a True Color Expert®️, Not Just Any Designer

Here’s the truth: one bad color decision can easily outweigh the cost of a color consultation. Why waste time and money mixing your own shades or endlessly searching for the “perfect” neutral color when an expert can guide you to the right choice right away?

As Maria Killam herself says, “80% of the color choices you make for anything and everything in your home are made from the world of neutrals and whites.” These are the trickiest colors to master, and ultimately, the ones that can make or break your design investment. A good interior designer might be able to pull off a trendy color scheme in a new build, but when you’re working with existing elements, the expertise of a True Color Expert®️ becomes invaluable.

The True Color Advantage

But a True Color Expert®️ can do more than just pick a pretty color. We can explain the “why” behind our choices, empowering you to understand color undertones so that you can make confident design decisions for your project. No more “unseeing” the right color ever again!

Color is the foundation of any design project. Get it right, and your home will be a haven of beauty and comfort.
