Color Chat questions
What’s included in a Color Chat session?
Color Chats are hour-long sessions where I meet with you in person or virtually to discuss your color needs and ideas. We’ll go over specific rooms or areas you’re struggling with, and I’ll bring a catalog of paint and wallpaper samples to guide our conversation. I’ll provide suggestions and recommendations for how to bring more color into your home in a way that makes sense for you. That can include paint colors, wallpaper suggestions, furniture ideas, decor and more. I’ll guide you through ideas and you’re free to ask questions as we work through any challenges you're facing with your home.You’re welcome to take photos and notes during the session to record the ideas we come up with. I collaborate closely with you to understand your preferences, the way you want each room to feel, and how the space is used by those who live in it.
Do you offer full interior design services?
I don't provide full-scale interior design services. My focus is specifically on color—helping you bring color into your home in a way that feels unique and authentic to you. I’m here as a guide to help you make color-related decisions, but I don’t manage other aspects of design like sourcing furniture or providing layouts.
Can you help me choose furniture and decor as well?
While I don't offer full interior design services, I can offer guidance on how to incorporate color into your furniture and decor choices. My goal is to help you select colors that harmonize with your existing furniture and I love to encourage homeowners to shop their homes and find new spaces for pieces that might not be working quite as well as elsewhere.
Do I get to keep any paint or wallpaper samples?
During the session, I’ll provide a selection of paint and wallpaper samples for you to review. However, I do not provide samples to take home. You’ll need to make note of any suggestions that resonate with you during the session.

I’d like an in-person Color Chat - how do I know if you service my area?
In-person Color Chats are available to anyone living within 20 minutes of South Orange, NJ.
Do you offer remote consultations or virtual services?
Yes! I offer virtual Color Chats where we can discuss your space, ideas, and vision for color. Be sure to join the Google Meet from your phone so you can easily show me around your home.
What happens after the Color Chat?
All work that we do together will happen within the hour that we meet. I strongly advise that you have a means of taking notes or have your phone nearby to take photos of any ideas we come up with together. You’re responsible for purchasing any paint, wallpaper, or furniture based on our conversation. You’ll also be responsible for finding a contractor if any installation or painting is required.
What kind of murals do you paint?
I specialize in bold, geometric murals that are tailored to each individual space. While the design style is consistent (my signature geometric approach), the design itself is created on-site during the installation process. This allows me to consider the unique characteristics of the room, including angles and sightlines, which can affect how the mural is placed and how the lines flow.
Can you paint murals in any space?
Yes! I paint murals in residential and commercial spaces. Whether it’s a bold accent wall or a full mural, I’ll work with you to design a piece that complements your room’s aesthetic and adds vibrant personality.
How is the mural design created?
The design for your mural is not pre-designed. I build it on-site after seeing the space in person. This allows me to adapt the design based on factors like room angles, wall texture, and how the space is used. You can explore my portfolio to get an idea of my signature geometric style, and we’ll collaborate on the color palette ahead of time to make sure it suits your space.
Can you paint something other than your signature geometric style?
If you’re looking for something that isn’t represented in my portfolio, you’ll need to reach out to other mural artists that specialize in custom murals that fall in line with what you’re looking for.
How much do murals cost?
Murals are priced at $25 per square foot, with a minimum project cost of $2500. The price includes all paint, materials, and taxes. However, the cost may increase if there are complications, such as difficult wall textures or the need for special equipment or extra time. Any changes to the price will be discussed upfront. All mural projects require a 50% non refundable deposit when the agreement is signed.
How long does it take to complete a mural?
Typically, murals are installed within 3-5 days, depending on the size and complexity of the design. Factors like the mural’s location in your home or how accessible the room is can impact the timeline. I will provide an estimated time frame after assessing the space.
What do I need to do to prepare for my mural installation?
Before I arrive, you’ll need to fully prep the walls. This includes patching any holes and priming over any very saturated colors. You should also move all furniture out of the area to make sure there’s a clear, open space for me to work. I will cover the floors and any furniture to protect them and minimize any disruptions during installation.
Can I choose the colors for the mural?
Yes! The color palette is chosen through collaboration between you and me ahead of the installation. We’ll work together to find a palette that suits your space and vision for the room.
Can I see examples of your murals?
Yes! You can view my portfolio here, which showcases a variety of murals I’ve created. This will give you a good sense of my geometric style and how it might look in your own space.
Do I need to be present during the installation?
It’s not necessary for you to be there during the installation, but it’s helpful to touch base in person on day one.
What’s included in the price?
The price covers all aspects of the mural project, including the design, paint, materials, and labor. There are no hidden fees.
