It’s a sign of trust when former clients contact us to update a previously completed project. After 16 years of entertaining and enjoying their city home, they needed their luxury condominium on Michigan Avenue updated for resale. Since they just needed a simple refresh, they required a solution that wouldn’t end up costing them too much money or taking too much time to create.
The main focus was the kitchen. In order to settle down the orange cabinetry color that existed when they purchased the home, I suggested painting the cabinetry a soft black that would compliment the existing Giallo Venetian granite countertops and avoid having to replace them and incurring an additional cost.
When people hear the word “Black” they are concerned that the color will be too dark and overwhelming. Contrary, black can create an elegant and bold aspect to your space. I explained to the client that when used in the right way it can psychologically influence people’s purchasing power. Hesitant at first, they approved painting the kitchen island. Realizing the impact “black” had they approved painting all the cabinetry. We also replaced the upper cabinetry glass inserts and painted the interiors of those cabinets white to contrast the black to create more interest.
This was a quick, inexpensive fix for the space. The home sold quickly at the price they desired.
We know how color can impact each person’s space and appreciate the trust of our clients.
