Find your colours, understand your style, feel like YOU and boost your confidence

Everyone deserves to look great and feel confident. But it’s not always that easy!  To do that, you need to know what suits you best for every occasion, for the various roles you have in your life and the different environments you are in.  The problem is, it's difficult to know which voices to trust, and that can leave you feeling confused.  Working out where to start can be really frustrating.  Allow me to help.

At House of Colour we dedicate ourselves to blending colour science and fashion psychology, empowering you to embrace styling with ease.  I believe achieving a wardrobe that boosts your confidence should be straightforward, and fun!  It's my commitment to turn confusion to clarity, and insecurity to self-assuredness.

Why Colour Analysis Changes Everything

Imagine opening your wardrobe and loving everything inside — because every colour makes you look fresh, bright, and confident.
That’s what colour analysis does.

Together, we’ll discover the shades that harmonise best with your natural skin tone — the ones that flatter your skin, your eyes, your hair, and most importantly, feel like you. 

No more standing at makeup counters feeling overwhelmed. No more buying clothes that sit unworn because they just don’t feel quite right. You’ll know exactly what suits you...and why!

Colour analysis isn’t about changing who you are — it’s about making sure the outside reflects the beauty that’s already there. It makes getting dressed easier, shopping simpler, and at the very least it makes you feel amazing every day.

When you wear the colours that truly belong to you, you don’t just look good — you feel like your best self. And that’s where the real magic happens.

Why Knowing Your Style Changes Everything

Style analysis is all about helping you discover the cuts, shapes, fabrics, and outfit combinations that truly bring out the best in you.
It's not about trends or copying someone else's look — it's about understanding your natural lines, your personality, and making you feel empowered.

When you know your style profile, shopping becomes easier, getting dressed becomes faster, and you stop second-guessing yourself in the mirror. You’ll understand why certain outfits feel like "home" and others just don't — and you’ll have a clear, confident way to express who you are through what you wear.

The goal isn’t to change you. It's to take the person on the inside and help you express that in the most authentic way on the outside, reflecting the incredible person you already are.

When you know your style, you don’t just look good — you feel like yourself.  And great things come from that!

Discover your own unique style so you can look and feel your best every day!

My home from home studio is designed to be a warm, welcoming retreat — a place where you can feel at ease from the moment you arrive. With panoramic views, beautiful natural light and a calm, inviting atmosphere, it’s a space where you can relax, breathe, and simply be yourself.

Here, you’ll be met with kindness, encouragement, and no judgment — just genuine support. Whether you're here for a Colour Analysis, Style Analysis, Makeup Workshop or something else, this is your time to feel seen, heard, and understood.

Every session is a chance to learn, to grow, and to reconnect with your natural beauty and confidence. Clients often leave not just looking different, but feeling transformed — with new insights, fresh inspiration, and a renewed sense of self.

It’s more than just an appointment — it’s an experience designed to nurture and empower you, every step of the way.

I want to help you to look and feel amazing; to leave my studio having had a wonderful experience, empowered to dress confidently, feeling inspired and able to wear your seasonal colours in a sustainable way.

If you build your own wardrobe around your seasonal colours, you will naturally create a capsule wardrobe where all of your items will mix and match together, reducing time and money spent on buying clothes that you put on and then take off again because they don’t make you feel good.

House of Colour has been offering the very best personal Colour and Style analysis since the mid-1980s so for me, it was a no-brainer choosing who to work with.

Once you understand the science behind why your seasonal colours work for your skin tone, you will find looking for new items for your wardrobe and choosing an outfit each day so much easier. I can also advise you on hair colour to compliment your skin and make you look and feel fantastic!

Can you relate to any of the following?

- I have a wardrobe full of clothes, but nothing to wear.

- I struggle to create outfits, so I wear the same things over and over again.

- I’m not sure how to wear colour; I just wear black because it’s slimming.

- I feel like I've lost my identity or become invisible.

- I’m on a weight loss journey and want to feel good.

- I have a new job and I want to impress.

- Menopause has kicked in – help!

- I would like to refresh my image.

- I don't know where to start when it comes to clothes and make-up.

Are you ready to learn how to look and feel your best every day? Most importantly, let me help you to rediscover and show the world who you really are!

Just drop me a line or give me a call and we will find a suitable time to let the magic begin!

I look forward to meeting you, Sophie x

My Services

We are all wonderfully different; no two people are the same, nor should we want to be! Let me help you to discover YOUR best colours and your own unique style.

Colour Analysis

Transform getting dressed everyday into an effortless and joyful experience with our life-changing colour analysis.

Through precision-dyed drapes and my expert training, I provide you with invaluable insights of knowing your season; a palette of colours customised to your unique undertones. Our approach is inclusive, serving people of all ages, races, ethnicities, and genders, ensuring that your season remains a timeless guide throughout your life.

Experience the three essential components of our colour sessions:

First is our world-class, scientific draping process that we have refined for excellence and accuracy over the past four decades. Next, I will provide advice on jewellery, watches, glasses, and, when applicable, hair and makeup based on your season. Our makeup eliminates the guesswork, enhancing your natural beauty with colours perfectly suited to you. Finally, we’ll dive further into your season as we identify the best colours for both your casual and professional life, uncovering your collection of WOW colours.

You will leave your appointment equipped with a fan of your seasonal swatches and a tailored brochure filled with personalised tips and reminders specific to you, empowering you to confidently shop for and wear your new colours!

For optimal accuracy, arrive at your analysis without spray tans or makeup. Your privacy is paramount, so no photos will be taken or shared on social media without your consent.

Colour Analysis 1:1 £280 / Group Colour Analysis £230pp

Colour re-rate £130

If you have had your colours done before, we suggest a re rate every 5 to 7 years where we will again go through every colour in your palette and rediscover your WOW colours.

Childrens / Teenagers Colour Analysis £120

This is a shorter version of the full colour analysis, we will discover your season and advise you what colours to wear. This includes a booklet, but not a fan. This can be purchased separately.

Colour and Style Analysis all in one day -  £630

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!

You’ll also unlock the full potential of MyHOCLookBook as we guide you through organizing your wardrobe, identifying styling gaps, and igniting inspiration to experiment with new pieces.

I can also offer Advanced Style giving you a deeper understanding of what works best for you.

Wardrobe Clean Out Appointment

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.

Personal shopping is also available individually or as a group

Personal shopping can be for a specific event, a holiday or to fill any gaps identified after a wardrobe edit. These are charged on an hourly rate and can be anywhere local.

It's been a great experience working with Sophie. I'd highly recommend anybody who has found themselves stuck in a style cul-de-sac, to get in touch with Sophie at HoC. The session is all about finding your style based on your personality, this isn't about someone trying to tell you how to dress based on what they like - it is very much about you and nurturing that look. I really enjoyed it and as well as identifying my style type it also opened my eyes to what I was hiding behind, following trends that just don't suit me at all and having the confidence to shop in my already well established wardrobe.

Absolutely fabulous colour experience with Sophie. I visited following a 3am flight so I was feeling and looking pretty tired BUT with my new autumn colours I definitely felt like I came back to life! I now have a good excuse to revamp my wardrobe - shopping made easier and much more fun with my new colour orientation. Thank you so much! P.s. Loving my new lipsticks and duo powder too!

My group colour analysis (with my mum and sister) was amazing! We all thoroughly enjoyed the process of discovering our colour palette and ‘wow’ colours. Sophie was welcoming and friendly, very knowledgeable on colour theory and even provided lunch + drinks for us. We all wished we had done it years ago. Thank you so much Sophie!

If I could leave 6 stars, I would! We recently had the absolute pleasure of welcoming Sophie from House of Colour to our workspace at x+why on Colmore Row in Birmingham, and I can confidently say it was one of the best events we've ever hosted. Sophie ran a 3-hour colour analysis session for our members, and I have never received so much glowing feedback. Every single attendee raved about how insightful, personal, and enjoyable their one-to-one session was. Sophie has a real gift for making people feel seen and confident, and it truly showed in how uplifted everyone felt afterwards. Without exception, every participant told me they would happily book in for a full-day session with her. A huge thank you to Sophie for such an incredible experience – we’d absolutely love to have her back again!
