Why a DESIGN Consultation is the Smartest First Step

let's chat all things design!

When you’re planning a remodel, renovation, or even a simple room refresh, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the number of decisions. Paint or wallpaper? Which furnishings actually fit your family and lifestyle? How do you know if that color you love in the store will feel right once it’s on all four walls of your living room? A consultation gives you the space to slow down and talk through those questions with a subject matter expert before you commit!

At 360° Color, we specialize in helping clients make confident choices. Color is a science, and the way it interacts with light, finishes, and even the energy of a space can completely change the outcome. That’s why an hour-long consultation can save you time, money, and stress. For the first step, you’ll hop on a short discovery call with us—about 20 to 30 minutes—to talk through your overall design goals and objectives, and to learn a bit more about us as a company. If it feels like a good fit, we’ll then schedule a design consultation.

During that consultation, we’ll take a closer look at your goals, family dynamics, and lifestyle—whether that means kids, pets, daily routines, careers, or even travel schedules. We’ll also talk about how you want to feel in your home compared to how you feel in it now, and then work backward to make sure the vision we create not only looks beautiful but also supports your real life.

“Design 101 - Let's Get Started!”

Here’s how a consultation adds value:

• Takes the stress out of choosing the right paint color consultation or wallpaper so you can move forward with confidence.

• Matches the right fabrics, furniture, and finishes to your lifestyle—whether you have pets, young kids, or simply want low-maintenance luxury.

• Connects you with a trusted network of subject-matter experts, contractors, and vendors across the DC metro area who know how to deliver high-quality results.

• Saves you hours of sourcing and procurement—we do the legwork so you don’t waste weekends scrolling through endless options.

• Guides you from concept to completion, including on-site installation and styling, so your vision is carried through to the very last detail.

The same holds true for commercial interior design projects. Whether it’s a boutique, a wellness office, or a restaurant in Virginia, Maryland, or Washington, DC, your interior tells your story before you say a word. A thoughtful consultation helps you avoid costly mistakes and ensures the colors, finishes, and furnishings align with your brand and the experience you want to create for clients and guests.

In the end, the process leads to a design that not only reflects your personality, but also makes your space more functional, inviting, and an authentic expression of who you are. If you’re ready to create a space—residential or commercial—that feels warm, inviting, and true to who you are, we’d love to be your first call!
