Paint may be one of the easiest ways to update a room — or your whole home — but committing to a new colour can take painstaking hours of paint swatching, light tests, even couples counselling. One local company is easing the decision burden by taking the guesswork away.
Bright Cloud Designs, a small illustration and graphic design company in Colwood, is helping the colour curious sample technical paint colours through the group’s digital mock-up service. The service allows people to visualize what a colour would look like in real time — and consider how it works with the existing features that can’t be as easily changed.
The company is the brainchild of Cara Lightman, who completely revamped her 1970 bi-level home using only paint.
“Paint is the most affordable and accessible tool to make big changes in any space,” she says.
“And there is often little budget left to make changes once a home is purchased.”
