Rooms with depth, quiet materials, and color that earns its place.
R H S Atelier & Home is a small studio working between interior projects and hands-on color advice — for people who would rather get the paint right once. We love design and hope to share inspiration and valuable information along our journey.

Paint & color advice
Test in the light you actually live in.
Every color scheme we publish comes with the practical part: sheen levels, primer, how many coats a deep pigment really needs, and where a color will fall apart under north light. We will also try to limit color options to make your color choices a bit simpler. We encourage editing colors before you begin sampling, as the more samples you order and install, the more challenging the color selection can become. We suggest limiting your options to four unique color shades, not necessarily lighter and darker shades of the same hue to maximize your time and money investment in samples and choosing the perfect shade.

"A house should feel finished in the way a good coat feels worn in and timeless — never all new, never tired."
I have worked as a sales and marketing professional in the architectural paint and design community for more than 40 years. I am recently retired, and look forward to sharing my color and paint insights to help you avoid costly miscues.
Our initial emphasis is on small residential projects where new paint color and techniques can add coziness, just a bit of drama as needed, and color sense that feels personal and intentional.
You should live in the colors you love — let us help you enhance your world.
