YES, COLOUR IS ARCHITECTURE FOR EMOTION
And choosing it doesn’t have to be stressful or confusing.
Forget overwhelm, guesswork, and paint-test chaos.
I combine colour psychology, sensory design, and architectural understanding to create palettes that work on every level: visual, emotional, and physical.
I’ll help you understand how colour behaves with your light and surroundings, so you can decide with ease and confidence.
I make the process clear, personal, and even joyful - a creative exploration of your light, textures, and personality.
The result? A home that looks beautiful because it feels like you - balanced, sensory, and full of quiet joy.
I'm
ALEKSANDRA
an architect and interior designer
with a lifelong fascination for colour: how it shapes our emotions, behaviour, and wellbeing.
I believe colour is architecture, not decoration.
The right tones can lift your energy, calm your mind, and completely change how you experience a space.
With a mix of professional insight and a warm, practical approach, I help people choose colours they’ll love living with, not just for a season, but for years.
This isn’t about trends or rules. It’s about you: how you want your space to feel, and how colour can quietly support that.

Where science meets feeling
Colour is both technical and emotional. My work bridges the two.
I combine:
-
Architectural precision – proportion, flow, light, and spatial balance.
-
Colour psychology – how hue affects mood, energy, and perception.
-
Sensory design – how colour interacts with texture, sound, and light.
-
Biophilic design – natural tones and rhythms that support wellbeing.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between a colour consultant and an interior designer?
An interior designer shapes the overall layout and function. I specialise in colour, light, and material tone - the layer that brings emotion and coherence to a space.
Do you help choose paint brands and finishes?
Yes. I work mostly with large scale Farrow & Ball swatches and can source perfectly colour-matched paint for you through a trusted local supplier.
Can you work remotely?
Absolutely. I offer online consultations on video calls when we analyse the same factors as during in person meeting.
Do you only work with homes?
No. I also consult for small businesses, developers, and designers who want colour to be a design advantage.
What if I’m colour blind or “don’t see” colour well?
All the more reason to work together. I translate emotional responses and practical needs into palettes that simply feel right.
What does a colour consultant do?
A colour consultant helps you choose colours that suit your home, light, and personality.
I analyse natural and artificial light, existing materials, and how you want to feel in your space to create a balanced, timeless palette that fits you - not just trends.
What happens during a colour consultation?
We’ll talk through your goals, explore your space, and test large colour samples.
I consider light direction, room proportions, furniture, and flow between rooms - then create a clear plan with paint names, finishes, and placement notes.
How do I prepare for a colour consultation?
Before our meeting, you’ll complete a quick colour test and short questionnaire.
You can also gather inspiration images, Pinterest boards, or samples of things you love - but don’t worry, it’s completely fine if you have no idea where to start.
How much does a colour consultation cost in the UK?
Sessions start from £100 (limited time intro offer) for an online consultation.
Larger projects or full-home palettes are quoted individually, and you’ll always receive a clear price before booking.
Do you only work in Devon?
I’m based in Totnes and work across Devon and the South West, but I also offer online consultations for clients anywhere in the UK (and beyond). I am happy to travel to advise on larger, complex projects.
Can you help me choose colours for a new build or renovation?
Yes. I can work alongside your architect or builder to design colour schemes that support your lighting, layout, and materials from the very start - avoiding costly mistakes later.
Can you design my entire home colour palette?
Absolutely. I can create a complete, cohesive colour plan for your whole home - ensuring rooms flow naturally together while each has its own mood and identity.
What paint brands do you work with?
I mainly use Farrow & Ball large swatches for testing (more brands coming). I also offer colour-matching to your preferred paint range if needed.
Can you help me with lighting or furniture as well?
Yes -light, materials, and furniture all affect how colour appears.
If needed, I can provide additional advice on lighting, finishes, or textures to ensure everything works harmoniously.
What makes Colour Architect different from other colour services?
I combine architectural expertise, psychology, and sensory design - focusing not just on how colours look, but how they make you feel.
It’s a relaxed, tactile process that’s both creative and grounded in real design knowledge.
Do you follow interior trends?
No.
I focus on timeless palettes that age beautifully and evolve with you - not what’s trending on social media this month.
Can I book a colour consultation online?
Yes - you can book directly through my website: either a consultation or a free 20-minute Colour Chat to see if we’re a good fit, then we’ll plan your session from there.
