Hi there! I'm Kate, the Colour and Style Consultant in West Cornwall. Please EMAIL me to book your appointment.
You deserve to feel great in your clothes every single day
Welcome to House of Colour West Cornwall! I want to help you look and feel your best every day, by teaching you exactly what colours and styles suit you perfectly, so that when you walk into a room, everyone will take notice.
Everyone deserves to feel confident in their look, but it can be hard to get there. Perhaps you've lost yourself to 'mum clothes' or feel anxious whenever you walk into a clothing store - sound familiar? With expert Colour and Style analysis, I can help you discover your WOW colours and clothing personality, so that you love looking in the mirror again.
What Colour Analysis Will Do For You
In the safe and welcoming environment of my home studio, I will teach you the exact colours that lift your natural features and make you look simply radiant. You will go home knowing your seasonal palette and your WOW colours, all thanks to the fun and scientific process of colour analysis. You will take home a beautiful fan of your colour swatches and a personalised workbook, with all the information you need to go forth and explore the world of colour!
By the end of the consultation you will:
- Know exactly the colours to wear so that you look and feel your best.
- Feel empowered when walking into a clothes store, knowing exactly what to look for.
- Save money by only buying clothes that you know look great on you - so you will actually wear them!
- Feel more confident, especially because everyone will be complimenting you!
What Style Analysis Will Do For You
Have you ever looked at a friend's outfit and thought they looked amazing, only to put the same clothes on and not like it? Let me help!
Unlock your true style with a personalised, fun, and relaxed approach to discovering your best look! In your Style Consultation, we’ll work together to explore your body geometrics and personality to uncover your unique clothing personality. Through this process, you'll not only learn what works best for your shape but also how to express who you are through the clothes you wear.
We'll dive into everything from flattering necklines to the perfect skirt length, taking the guesswork out of fashion and giving you the tools to confidently build a wardrobe that feels authentic and makes you look and feel amazing. At the end, you'll leave with a comprehensive book full of personalised insights tailored specifically to you—a valuable resource to guide your future shopping and styling choices.

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!
Never feel uncomfortable in your clothes again!
Style analysis is an incredibly powerful tool for unlocking a wardrobe that truly works for you. It’s more than just clothes—it’s about feeling confident, comfortable, and authentic in what you wear. With a personalized approach, we break down the key elements of your body, personality, and preferences to create a style that’s uniquely yours.
The style consultation process is straightforward and tailored to you:
Body Geometrics: We begin by taking precise measurements to understand your body shape and proportions, ensuring we dress you in a way that flatters your figure.
Personality Quiz: Next, we dive into a short personality quiz to learn more about your preferences, lifestyle, and how you want your style to reflect who you are.
Clothing Review: We then go through the clothes you've brought, assessing what works, what doesn’t, and why—so we can make informed choices moving forward.
Clothing Personality: Once I've analysed your body type and personality, we discuss your clothing personality—the style profile that aligns with your unique traits and how to dress authentically, comfortably, and confidently.
By the end, you'll have a clear understanding of how to curate a wardrobe that truly fits your body, lifestyle, and personality.
Wardrobe Edit
-
This appointment is designed to apply all the knowledge you gained in your colour and/or style analysis and appointment and apply it to your own wardrobe. Together, we'll filter through the pieces you don’t wear so you can donate or resell them, keeping your closet free from clutter so you can better mix and match pieces in your wardrobe to create more looks with fewer items.
This process liberates your closet from clutter, empowering you to effortlessly mix and match pieces to unlock endless styling possibilities with fewer items.
