Color consulting

Which color gets the communication rolling? Which one contributes to healthy sleep? Which one stimulates the appetite? Answers to such questions are provided by the color consultants at Graf Malerei. The specialists in the color consulting team have completed special training and further education: Diploma studies to become a color designer HF or a color consultant col-arch. as well as postgraduate studies. Thanks to their color advice, customers can significantly change their living situation and thus adapt it to their wishes.
If you turn 360 degrees in a living room, you usually look at white walls. Why is that? According to one theory, white is supposed to increase the brightness of a room and create a sober effect. That may be true, but white walls may soon be a thing of the past. Many people today want a warm, cozy home, not a functional one. This is where the work of the color consultant begins.

The first thing they try to do is find out what the customer has in mind. Numerous aspects can be incorporated into such a color consultation, for example the symbolism or the psychological effect of individual shades. Of course, personal feelings also play a major role. Added to this are aesthetic and sometimes even historical values - depending on the customer's origin and culture. The tasks of a color consultant also include clarifying feasibility. There are materials or situations that do not allow for certain customer wishes. But of course, the team at Graf Malerei does everything it can to fulfil every color request.

The specialists retreat to their studio in Buchs for the color planning of a new building or renovation. Here they develop colour concepts, which they then visualize and present to their customers. To give them a better idea, the color consultants also create color plans that assign the planned surface design to all components. After that, nothing stands in the way of an individually designed, warm and cozy home.

Color design

Life without color would be dull and monotonous. We make sure it doesn't get that far. A team of specialists designs every room so that people can feel at home in it - or at home in the case of a hotel room. How do they do that? Professional color designers are characterized by three qualities: a trained eye, knowledge and creativity. The eye to immediately see how a room can be changed, embellished and personalized. The knowledge of which colors and materials set which accents. And finally, the creativity that gives color and shape to the customer's wishes.

As soon as the circumstances and the customer's wishes are known and the color designers have gained an initial picture of the situation, the goals are defined. Depending on the brief, either the residents or the planners are consulted. But once the goals have been defined, the color designer can give free rein to their creativity. Now the ideas take shape: with colors, decorations, design surfaces and textures. Sometimes the designer also incorporates light into their work. After all, everything in the room or house should work together. But before that happens, we carry out a final check in the studio. Nothing goes out without this final approval. But then the time is ripe for implementation. And the customers can be happy - just like us. It fills us with pride every time our work has been able to give a room atmosphere, value and individuality.

Realization

This area is a mainstay - alongside consulting and design. Around 400 orders from building and customer painting are booked in the realization department every year. A considerable sum - especially when you consider that the orders vary greatly in size: From painting walls in bedrooms to plastering entire houses or - in figures - from 500 to 300,000 francs turnover, everything is included. House is also an elastic term. It can be a rental property, a detached house, a public building such as a retirement home or a hospital, an industrial complex, a hotel or any other building - and every house has an interior and an exterior. But no matter what it is: We put every property in the right light. Sometimes all it takes is a fresh coat of paint. Sometimes it needs a little more, a new coat of plaster or new wallpaper. We can do it all. Even repairs. In fact, surface repairs are one of our specialties.

Working with us is simple and straightforward. The realization team relies on professional expertise and focuses on the customer. The price? That too is customer-friendly. And there is no question of compromising on service. Anyone who wears the colors of Graf Malerei also knows what service means. The specialists in realization work transparently and keep their promises - especially the deadlines. And the customers appreciate it.
