Where Colour Begins
Where Colour Begins
Overwhelmed by colour choice.
Swamped by colour rules.
Baffled by colour jargon.
Full of self doubt.
And that’s before the cost of getting it wrong !
I teach homeowners how to trust their colour choices using my signature Nature-led approach, not rules or theory, so they can create a home that feels unmistakably theirs and they’re deeply proud of.
Hi, I’m Gytha
I spent thirty years designing homes for some extraordinary people — including a member of the family behind Zara and the drummer of one of the world's most famous bands — without ever once using a colour wheel, a formula or a rule.
A lady pointed that out to me, “What you do is instinct.”
That one sentence changed everything.
I wanted to test whether I could teach it.
So I tried it with my sister, Amber, a self-confessed Interiors novice. I picked her up in Knightsbridge, drove her to Chelsea Harbour, handed her an image she'd chosen the night before, and sent her into the showrooms on her own.
An hour later she had pulled together a complete scheme. No design background. No hesitation. Just instinct, made visible.
It was never really about finding the right colours.
It was about helping people feel confident in their own choices again.
“I believe you are the best person to design your home”
How boring it would be if we all liked the same things; if every home felt the same, and every room told the same story. The beauty of interiors is in individuality.
I don’t teach you my style. I share my way of seeing colour, so you can find yours. So your home finally feels like a place you belong, not something you’re trying to figure out.
I know you’ve got good taste.
It’s just the endless inspiration, Pinterest, Instagram, magazines…. all showing you so many versions of “beautiful’.
And over time, the problem is simple: you’ve seen too much.
So everything starts to blur together and confidence quietly disappears.
Until one day, things click.
And you can move forward freely with confidence, creating a home that feels like you and that you can truly call your own.
When it clicked for them
“I have learned so much from Gytha who has instilled in me the confidence to embrace colour and texture and craft my own schemes. She also created a really supportive environment in which we felt able to learn and share with each other”
— Sarah Hewson
“After recently updating our farmhouse, I felt unsure of my ability to confidently design and develop cohesive schemes for each room. Gytha’s course was a turning point, it gave me clarity, confidence and a understanding of how to use colour, texture and pattern together. What once felt stressful has now become genuinely enjoyable.”
— January Farringdon
“I found it incredibly insightful, not just for colour palette inspiration and building cohesive schemes, but also how texture influences the overall feel of a design. I now feel inspired and ready to move forward with my colour scheming with newfound confidence”
