ColorGenie Color Consulting - Interior Design Near Me

I'm not very color savy, in fact I'm very intimidated at the thought of picking colors for a ceiling and walls in a 2400 SF home..... with many different exposures to the sun and colors in the tile and countertops....and I have one of those houses where the walls slope inwards as they approach the ceiling. Overall, too complicated for me!. I called Genie and she showed up on time....spent 20 minutes looking at furniture and discussing our "style", after which she spend another hour in each room of the house getting a sense of light. She left me with color chips and we assigned colors to walls! Now after a trip to Sherwin Williams, I'm a happy painter! She was a real value to me! read more

We moved into a new home and didn't care for the dark wall color. I'm an architect and thought I could pick out the right color to repaint the first floor; turned out it was 1) either a tougher job than I thought it would be or 2) I suck at picking out colors. I repainted one wall about four times trying to find a color that would lighten the room and match the ceiling and trim which I didn't want to repaint. I gave up trying and found Genie through the Sherwin Williams store. Genie spent about an hour going through her color samples (said it was one of her toughest challenges) and found one that looked promising. I repainted the wall with her recommendation and it turned out to be the perfect choice . . . . really lightened the entire first floor and complemented some of the artwork a the same time. Thank goodness for Genie and her color magic! I'd definitely call her again if I ever want to repaint. read more

We loved working with Genie. She takes color consultant work very seriously. We are delighted with the choices. Genie helped us select exterior colors and also helped us with a pallette of colors for our living area. She left nice little samples, clearly marked. Choosing colors takes a good bit of time. This took 2 hours, but it was worth it. She is fun to work with, too. I liked the approach. She keyed the exterior off of grout and stone. She keyed the interior off of things we liked such as art and fabrics. It was neat to watch her work. I recommend her. I think she understands a lot about the science behind color choice. Also, the advice of a trusted expert minimizes the clash that might otherwise arise from multiple novice opinions. read more

I didn't use ColorGenie however I felt compelled to write a review. I outreached to Genie explaining that I work full-time and inquiring if she does consultations on the weekend. She got back to me promptly to tell me that she doesn't work on weekends and that evenings don't work because of the light for picking paint colors. It wasn't her response that I was impressed with - it was that she recommended 3 other individuals who may be able to help me. I expect a response from a vendor even if it's no, but Genie went above and beyond to try to make sure I was still taken care of. That's great customer service. read more

if you are thinking about painting your home (interior or exterior), I highly recommend working with Genie! We bought our home in June 2012 and just loved it, but the colors simply did not reflect our style. I had so much anxiety around my ability to choose paint colors that I made endless trips to various paint stores picking up color chips and then never did anything about it -- until I hired Genie! Genie listened to my concerns, color preferences, and design ideas. Then she carefully selected a couple of colors for each room of my house enabling me to make a confident final choice! An unexpected benefit of working with Genie was that she gave me the confidence of knowing I actually DO have a good eye and should trust my instincts! (Yay). Oh - and I LOVED that she created a Pinterest board with ideas for my house. That was a complete surprise and a great bonus! read more

We contacted Genie after reading the reviews on Yelp, so we knew she was going to be great. BUT, she still blew us away at our consultation. From the homework to the interview when she first arrives, you can tell she really knows colors and how to match them your taste. My husband and I like opposite colors and she somehow put a palette together that we both really like. And, at the end, she puts the swatches in a sleeve so you can bring it to the paint store or hand it to your painter. Before you do any painting in your house, call Genie. She is amazing!! read more

Genie is awesome! She took all the stress away. My husband really doubted that I would be the one picking the colors. He was wrong. Genie guided me based on my furniture swatches, cabinet color, counter tops and flooring, but NEVER chose my colors for me. I am a conservative color type person. For my walls I usually stay with off white which is very drab. With our new home my husband specifically requested we add more color. I did great I thought with the new furniture, but was stumped when it came to the walls. I needed colors that would compliment every room. Genie helped ME achieve that. I now have a color palette for every room in my house, that looks great and is warm and elegant. I even have accent colors for specific walls should I choose to use them. Believe me, we will. The combinations are wonderful and we are thrilled to say the least. Don't hesitate, because she is booked out for weeks. But she is well worth her weight in gold! read more

We use Genie all the time for our customers and not only do they love her but we do too. She has a knack for colors and we always like seeing her color schemes come together at the end. Makes color selection easy! read more

I have worked directly with Genie on many different painting projects. She knows how to quickly match up various components in a room and come up with a color plan that works beautifully. She is a joy to work with. She always makes the customers happy. I own Barton Springs Painting and we will never choose colors again, we call the ColorGenie.

Genie is wonderful. We worked with her as first time homeowners in December last year. We immediately felt comfortable when she took the time to get to know us, learn our style and what we liked. After a walk through, she patiently sat in the rubble of our kitchen amidst all the noise and dust (we had a lot of work done) and did her thing. She then walked us through with color choices for each room. We discussed them in the different light of each room and chose from her recommended short list. She also had some additional color and design tips for the built-in cabinets and bathroom vanity. Her expertise is based on experience and just a natural artistic eye. We are really happy with the colors and really appreciated she kept our style and interests at heart! read more

The exterior of my newly purchased 1978ish, Brady Bunch style house was painted entirely in aqua blue! Yuck. Genie helped me pick new exterior house paint colors that fit in with my rather conservative neighborhood, yet were modern, fun, and able to highlight the unique architecture of my house. She came over to our house one afternoon, had a consultation, shared her paint color options with me that same day, and provided mock up photos the following week of how the house would look with those paint color choices. It was so helpful to have a picture of what the paint would look like on the house. Genie was efficient with my time. Her service is reasonably priced. This consultant listened to what I wanted. The exterior paint colors she chose for the house looked amazing after being painted. I highly recommend her. I originally found Genie because of her reviews on Yelp, too! read more

Definitely recommend Genie to anyone faced with the task of picking paint colors. The first time I called her was when I was replacing my siding and needed to pick exterior colors. I knew I needed help because if I didn't like the colors I picked, it would be a very expensive mistake. She listened and asked great questions to narrow down the look I was envisioning. The end result ... perfect! So of course when I was needing to pick new interior colors, I called Genie again. Once again, she was able to figure out what I was imagining. She even had some additional ideas after she left and sent me an email with her thoughts. Genie made the process easy and fun. If you need to pick colors, call her - she truly is great at what she does! read more

I used Genie to help me select the paint colors for the interior of a home we had purchased. We were repainting the entire interior and choosing the paint colors felt like an overwhelming job for me! Genie was so nice and listened to what my needs were and with her amazing ability selected the paint colors. The wall colors turned out wonderful! I was so pleased with the results as I would never have had the ability or foresight to select the colors she chose. I will definitely use Genie again for any painting project I may have in the future! read more

Genie helped us with our color selection for our exterior and interior home color. Genie took what we had and transformed it into a space that our entire family thoroughly enjoys. She took our existing decor and modernized it. Working with her was an enjoyable experience and she was accommodating and flexible with our hectic schedules. read more

Genie is awesome. I had recently purchased a house that is a new construction and wanted to get rid of the "builder beige" to make the place my own. Despite being a guy, I'd like to think that I'm decent at interior decorating. However, I felt completely overwhelmed when it came to picking paint colors for the whole house. So I decided to hire a pro to help me. Genie came over with a couple large binders of color swatches. First we talked about what kind of feel I'd like to create, what colors I like, and what furnitures and artworks I already have. Then Genie goes into her "zone" and starts picking through the color swatches. After maybe half an hour or so, she came up with several choices for each areas of the house. We then went over each area, putting color swatches against the wall and viewing it under natural and artificial lighting. I feel like I'm very involved in making the color choices, and Genie is guiding me along. Eventually after all of the colors are picked, Genie creates a color book, with a small paint swatch that is labelled for the area it's for. This made it very easy for the painters to follow later. I then had painters come in and painted the whole house, which turned out awesome. She's a joy to work with and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone who needs color advice! read more

Genie was fantastic. We are in the final stages of a kitchen remodel and just couldn't figure out the correct paint for a finishing touch. Genie came out, talked with us about colors we like, preferences of dark vs. light, etc.., and then went to work with her color wheel. As we talked through a variety of options and looked at paint chips in various parts of the room, we were able to narrow things down. She left us with a nice palette of colors and a scheme that we can just hand to a painter as well as ideas about how to co-ordinate curtains, pillows, and an area rug. My only regret is finding her after putting about 10 paint samples on the wall, not before. She'll be getting another call when it's time to re-paint other parts of our house. read more

organized, patient and very helpful nice job picking out paint colors for multiple rooms and ceiling Thank you! read more

I'd already been on a long search for the perfect color purple for my friend's bedroom, so when it came time to choose colors for my own home, I knew that I needed help. Enter Color Genie. For a very reasonable price, Genie spent a couple of hours helping me choose a set of colors for my living room, dining room and kitchen. She gave me two options when I couldn't decide how dark I wanted to go with grey. She was patient, fun and she really listened to understand my taste. She was my constant email correspondent as i moved toward actually getting the house painted, giving me advice and referrals. Now, the painting is done, the art is up, the rug is down and the house looks great. I highly recommend Genie. read more

We just used Color Genie for our new house and her services were a great investment! I am so glad my husband found her before we had our entire house repainted. She knew our style and color palette better than we were able to verbally communicate. Not only does she have a GREAT eye for colors, but she would also make a great marriage counselor. ;) My husband and I love the colors she chose and feel like the house is now "ours." read more

We are so pleased with our experience with Genie last week. My husband and I met with her to consult on exterior house colors. Genie is organized, professional, and excellent at what she does. We felt comfortable with her and knew right away that she knows her colors! Our architect easily approved her choices and we can't wait to see the finished house in a few months. I'd recommend ColorGenie to anyone needing help with color choices. read more

Genie is fantastic to work with. We have now used her for two different projects. She is extremely reasonable in price and, well, in temperament! She helped us with our exterior colors-no easy feat and we did what she suggested and love it! Recently, she came over to help us with what we wanted-bold bathroom colors. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone!! read more

I have used Color Genie on two big personal projects, a frame bungalow in central Austin and a large house in northwest Austin, and a real estate client's exterior paint project. I trust her input implicitly. I tend to like lots of color and the first few times with Genie I fretted that the colors we were selecting wouldn't be bright enough. I am SO glad I trusted her judgment. The colors are PERFECT. I get so many compliments on my home, and my client was thrilled with the results of his consult. The Color Genie is great for small projects but especially if you have big projects that are going to cost a lot, the money spent to have her help working out the colors is unbelievably valuable. She is also fun! read more
