The original 1970s beach houses on the Burleigh hill take colour well when it's allowed in, while the contemporary rebuilds along the ridge often need the opposite, with a deliberate hand pulling the palette back to one or two warm tones so the architecture isn't shouting. A colour consultation walks both kinds of home through morning, midday, and late-afternoon light, tests colours against the floor and the existing joinery, and lands on a paint specification you can hand straight to the painter.
Studio LaLa's colour consultation starts at $850 and runs online, with a written brief in your inbox within one business day covering paint codes, finishes, and trim direction. Burleigh sits 50 minutes north of the studio, so an in-person visit can be added with the price adjusted for the travel, and because I batch Gold Coast trips where I can, booking ahead helps.
