Join me for a relaxed session in Lee (SE12). Enjoy light refreshments while we gently explore what suits you—at your pace.
My journey with House of Colour began some 20 years ago. It was a huge turning point in my life.
Finding out which colours bring me alive has given me a lasting joy I could never have imagined when I walked through that studio door for the first time.
Knowing how to dress to reflect who I truly am has revolutionised my self-confidence. It has made getting ready each morning a delight, not a chore.
It has saved me a huge amount of time and money on shopping, and has reduced my personal environmental impact considerably.
I can’t wait to share all this with you, too.
Ready to get started on your own journey of discovery? Find out more about the services I offer here, or drop me an email at ann.orton@houseofcolour.co.uk to set up a free 30-minute Disccover Call.

Style Analysis
-
Discover the science and psychology behind personal style by unlocking the power of you. During a style analysis, I'll empower you to seamlessly combine your inner self with your outward appearance, so you can step out into the world radiating confidence as your authentic self.
We consider your proportions, personality, and preferences to give you a style framework - we call this a “Clothing Personality."
You will confidently know which fabrics, prints, patterns, accessories, necklines, details, and silhouettes flatter your unique body architecture best. By integrating your personality into this framework, our style analysis transcends mere fashion guidance, going a step further to help you identify how you feel in different styles and pieces, ensuring that your wardrobe not only reflects your style but also represents your individuality.
For this appointment, you’ll bring 5–10 items from your closet that you LOVE and 5–10 that make you wonder why you don’t feel good when putting them on. Together, we’ll use this information to help you discover why you gravitated toward and loved certain pieces and what it is about the others that weren’t working for you, saving you time and money in the future! At House of Colour, we believe clothing needs to be adjusted to you, not the other way around. It is our goal to make sure you feel your most confident as who you are and how you look right now.
You’ll leave with a book with detailed information specific to you that we’ll fill out during the appointment and a Clothing Personality card with keywords that will help guide you when shopping. If you’ve already had a colour analysis, this card can be inserted into your fan which will make shopping easy and efficient!

View TestimonialWhat a great experience! I knew from the moment I saw Ann's outfit that this was going to be transformative for my wardrobe! Ann has a great eye and a lovely way of explaining colour in hair, clothes and make-up, with kindness and enthusiasm. She also ensured I was completely comfortable and was attentive with plentiful tea, water and snacks offered. I feel so much happier knowing which colours work for me and why, so I feel like I've built the skills not just to dodge wardrobe fails but to dress in colours that make me shine. Thank you, Ann - I will be back.

View TestimonialLet me preface this by complimenting the studio space in which I sat for my consultation: oodles of natural light and frolicking squirrels, it really was a dream. Next, the most delicious coffee and because I had not eaten anything, a cheese scone - not normally part of the service but homemade, warm and glorious.
Now to the service itself. It was immediately apparent that I was in the hands of a master. Ann was patient and thorough, telling me not only what she was doing but showing me step by step how she arrived at my season. Each time she placed the right colours on me, I all but popped out of the mirror like some HD image. It was magical. Ann was genuinely thrilled each time I 'popped'! I am a 'Sultry Winter' and walked out with a renewed confidence in my own appearance which I have sadly been neglecting lately. I am currently overhauling my wardrobe - even though she told me to do so piecemeal. I am just so excited because I look amazing and most importantly, alive.
I've just got to fight the sudden urge for world domination. My confidence is sky high!

View TestimonialAnn has a great eye for colour and I was particularly struck by how she was able to differentiate between shades that are very close to one another, such as powder pink and ice pink, and judge which one worked best with my skin tone to make me look the most radiant. She is warm and positive and made me feel at home, while always maintaining the highest professional standards. I came away from my session not only knowing that I’m a Summer, and full of ideas for new colours to try out that I would previously have avoided, but also feeling better about myself and my ability to make great style choices. I loved having my colours done by Ann and I thoroughly recommend anyone who is considering it to book with her!
