COLOR CODE METHOD

Decode your space. Align it with emotion, light and lifestyle.

The right palette can shift how your entire space feels — and how you feel in it. Choosing colors can be overwhelming. Too many options. Tiny paint swatches. Endless scrolling. And worst of all? Repainting after a mistake.

The Color Code Method™ helps you skip all of that (Interior & Exterior)

This is my signature framework to design a color palette that fits your lifestyle, your light, and your emotional needs — not just what’s trending on Pinterest. It’s intentional, intuitive, and 100% personal.

What is The Color Code Method?

It’s not just about picking pretty colors.

It’s about aligning your space with how you want to feel in it — and building a palette that works across light, materials, and function.

Through a guided 5-step process, I help you:

Eliminate confusion and color guesswork

Choose with clarity and confidence

Build emotional flow between rooms

Avoid expensive mistakes and mismatches

Whether you’re designing a home from scratch, renovating a room, or just repainting, this process gives you more than a palette — it gives you direction.

The Method – 5 Steps to Your Ideal Palette

C — Context

I start by understanding the fixed elements of your space: light, layout, materials, flooring, and furniture. These are your palette’s boundaries.

O — Objective

What’s the feeling you want to evoke in each room? Calm, focus, creativity, comfort? This is where color psychology meets spatial intention.

D — Direction

Based on your mood goals, I define your palette’s core logic: tones, temperature, saturation and contrast. This is what gives it flow.

E — Edit & Elevate

I curate and refine the palette — not just wall colors, but full room harmony: trims, ceilings, textiles, finishes. It’s where cohesion happens.

X — Execution

You get a clear guide on where and how to apply each color — including finishes and material pairing — so nothing is left to chance

Why it matters (and saves you money)

• No more “guess and repaint” syndrome

• No more clashing undertones or patchy rooms

• Feel confident before you buy or commit to a shade

• Maximize the effect of natural light with strategic tones

• Build harmony across rooms — not color chaos

Perfect for you if…

• You’ve tried 10 paint samples and still feel unsure

• You want something beyond “white or beige”

• You feel disconnected from your space, but can’t explain why

• You want to express personality through color — but without overwhelm

• You want colors to flow seamlessly from one room to the next

REVIEW

“Ilaria prepared a personalized paint palette for my home that is just perfect! She was also incredibly responsive and answered all of my follow up questions. This was the best experience and I cannot say enough good things about Ilaria's work!”

Melissa, New York, NY

“I would definitely buy this service again! Believe me, it's worth the money! I invested hours thinking about how, where and which colors I wanted to integrate into the apartment, but in the end I was unsure and dissatisfied. It takes a bit more knowledge than just which color. Ilaria is a professional in this regard. She really takes everything into account. What needs do you have in which room, how is it oriented, how much natural light is there, your own style, etc. I had already bought a color consultation for our previous house in the past, but it wasn't as detailed as Ilaria's. Our apartment is currently being renovated. We explained to Ilaria which furniture we would be using in the future and she was able to work well with it. She also stuck to the specified processing time.”

Arijana, Görtschach, Austria

“I highly recommend working with Ilaria on any design elements you may need help with around your home. I chose her to provide an Exterior Color Consulation and from the beginning through the end of the project she was so helpful and responsive to my questions. I tried for months to choose colors on my own, but was so concerned that they wouldn't look the way I was expecting, I decided to let a design professional come up with modern color palettes instead. Ilaria not only provided these to me, but she explained why each of them would work with the style of my home and yard. She even wanted to see pics of my street to get a feel for the neighborhood. Once we picked the one we liked, I couldn't be happier for the way it came out. It has such a modern and timeless appeal and the comments from neighbors have all been very positive!”

Mark, Powell, OH

“Ilaria was wonderful- I cannot speak more highly of the services she provided. She carefully reviewed all of the photos that I sent over along with the aspired look and feel I was hoping to achieve and the recommendations she sent over was spot on. We love the colors she chose and her explanations as to why she chose that particular paint color was very helpful. I highly recommend!! We hope to use her services again!”

Ashley, Kentfield, CA

“I had a wonderful experience with Ilaria and without hesitation I recommend her. The turnaround time was fast and even faster when I asked for a revision. She was professional, conscientious, and right on target with the sort of "look and feel" I was going for in my color requests. I appreciated the opportunity to tell her in words and pictures what our home was like and how I would like it expressed in colors.”

Ann, Napa, CA

“We had a color palette done to change our brown Tudor style to something more modern. We had an excellent experience and couldn’t be happier with our home. We’ve received several compliments from our neighbors. The turn around time was super quick and when I had questions I received thoughtful, timely responses. Absolutely recommend!!”
