Not colorblind....just design impaired.
I have very bad design preferences. I mean, my personal home has rooms that are red, yellow, blue, purple, etc. And we're not talking pale shades here, I mean primary colors. As you can imagine, it is probably not the most appealing design to buyers, but I like it! When doing my own home, I went to several "design centers" and various material stores to try to find help but no dice. They either didn't have a design person on staff, or they wanted to design it for me and do all the work (can't use my own contractors).
I'm trying to find someone I can pay to come and tell me what to do to a home to bring it up to date. I am finding some good deals, and I can tell that the houses are "70s" and need to be updated. I'm just not sure what to install and/change about layout or design features (like spindles on a railing, or the front facade of the house, etc.) to make them look more updated. Color I can handle, I just go to the paint store and tell them to give me whatever there most popular color is....its usually some type of contractor beige.
I'm hoping that there is a service out there where I can take pictures and email them (or have somebody come to the house, but I'm somewhat rural and doubt they would exist locally) and tell me exactly what to put in.
Anyone know of such a service?
