What Shepherd Painting helps clients avoid:
Color Doesn’t Match Expectations
The final shade may differ from what was envisioned, often due to lighting conditions or the way the color interacts with existing elements.
Rooms Feels Larger
or Smaller
Dark colors can make a room feel more confined, while lighter colors may not always create the spaciousness hoped for.
Overwhelming or Underwhelming
Some people find bold colors too intense, while others might feel that softer hues lack character or personality.
Inconsistent Finish
Variations in sheen or texture can lead to an uneven appearance, which may be particularly noticeable in rooms with multiple light sources
Poor Coverage
Sometimes, the new color requires more coats than anticipated, leading to a patchy look or uneven coverage, especially with lighter shades over darker ones.
Mood Mismatches
The chosen color may evoke unexpected feelings—what was intended to be calming might feel cold or sterile, for instance.
Regret Over Color Choice
After living with a color for a while, some may wish they had chosen differently, feeling that it doesn’t fit their style or the room’s function.
Difficulties with Coordination
The new color may clash with existing decor, furniture, or flooring, making it harder to integrate the new hue into the overall aesthetic.
Stains and Marks
Depending on the finish, certain colors may show dirt, fingerprints, or imperfections more easily than others.
