A BRUSH WITH COLOUR
As well as the physical tasks of decorating, after delving into reams of books of great master decorators of the past, Chris Baker also has a Colour Consultancy for the historic themes that some people may decide to embark on.
Trying to keep things in a quite simple format, the aim is to change a room to either what it should have looked like in the past with a subtle blend of historic colours, or to make a contemporary room into a place where you want to be all the time, just by injecting vibrancy into it or a calm relaxing mood for the future.
Colour is the light of life, it is extremely important. It makes a building, both internally or externally. Colours that are wrong or in the wrong place can destroy the look of a building so be sure to keep your property alive & well.
Offices, shops, restaurants, nightclubs, all manner of residential homes, stately homes, priorys, churches. kitchens, lounges, bedrooms, bathrooms, studies, libraries; all are different environments, all need a little time and thought to get the best out of them.
Broken colour, crackle glazing, opaque finishes, translucent finishes and antiquing, the list of these particular tecniques goes on. Put to good use can they be quite absorbing and cause a real reaction.
If you would like a consultation on a room, the process is quite simple. I make an appointment to come to see you, I take into account everything you have to say about the area in question, I then put my points forward & discuss the area with you. Then, about a week later I send you my recommendations on the area and I come back to see you at a convenient time to come to the conclusion, its that simple.
Sometimes it will be the slightest change in mood that works with colour & lighting, other times it will be more dramatic. I will make sure it always works for the best. So that you have complete contentment and when I leave you are not left wondering whether it was the correct decision or not.
It would be a pleasure to help you decide on the ideal historic nature of your propery environment. After many years of being involved in heritage decoration, this business enjoys being at the heart of everything, whether it be Edwardian or Medieval.
The business can give you ideas on a personal level or if you wish to work in conjuction with your architect, project manager, surveyor or interior designer, to get the very best out of your environment for colour, involving your castle wherever it may be in the world.
Preparing the past...for the future!
