Colour Discovery Workshop — Interior Design Made Simple

A hands-on workshop designed to help you think about colour the way a designer does.

If colour has ever felt overwhelming — paint charts, undertones, finishes that looked right in the shop but wrong at home — this workshop will help you understand why that happens, and how designers avoid it.

The Colour Discovery Workshop is a calm, practical session focused on process over perfection. Rather than choosing colours in isolation, you’ll learn how designers test, compare and refine colour decisions using context, materials and light.

This isn’t about being given the “right answers”.
It’s about learning how to make confident decisions yourself.

You’ll work through a series of guided exercises using real colour and material samples, learning to:

• see undertones more clearly
• understand why colours behave differently in different spaces
• test combinations before committing
• build a small, intentional palette using a designer-led process

The emphasis is on how designers think — not rushing to a finished result.

✔ A clear understanding of how designers approach colour decisions
✔ A small, exploratory colour palette created through testing and comparison
✔ Greater confidence reading undertones and spotting clashes
✔ A repeatable process you can apply at home
✔ The ability to slow down and make decisions with more clarity

(This workshop focuses on skill-building rather than finalising a specific room scheme.)

This workshop is ideal if you:

• love interiors but feel unsure with colour
• want to understand why some choices work and others don’t
• struggle to visualise colour confidently
• want to avoid costly trial-and-error
• enjoy thoughtful, hands-on learning experiences

No prior design knowledge is needed — just curiosity.

✔ A 2-hour, small-group workshop

✔ All materials provided

✔ Guided exercises

✔ A relaxed, supportive environment

✔ Expert guidance focused on process, not pressure

This workshop is about learning the designer’s process.
If you’re looking for a fully resolved palette for a specific room, additional 1:1 design support may be more appropriate.

This workshop isn’t for anyone looking to leave with a fully finished colour scheme for a specific room. The focus is on learning the designer’s process so you can make confident decisions yourself, time and time again.
