It was absolutely worth it to hire a consultant. We needed your expertise and would have floundered on our own. We love the colors and how they all work together. The bedroom feels new and the warmth of the green makes the space astonishing. It was great working with you, and we feel that you did so much more for us than your scope of services. Thank you!

I’m more connected to my apartment now. Now it’s not just a shell with my things in it, now it’s a place I enjoy. I enjoy looking around my apartment, at my apartment, not just the things in my apartment. It’s like the apartment is a piece of art.
You can make your apartment a real apartment. You can transform your apartment so easily. You don’t have to accept your apartment the way it is. Your apartment is probably dying for it! The white paint on the wall—it’s primer.

By the time Noelle came for our meeting, I had already met with two other designers and was feeling a little discouraged—I had tried out a few swatches but they didn't feel right.
Noelle came in with an openness and creativity—she was sincerely excited about seeing my hopes come true. She assessed my life phase, the feeling I wanted to have in the space, and made recommendations on hues while allowing me to also guide the process. And she found the perfect color! I'm resting better than ever, I feel like the richness of the color completely frames my view of the empire state building. And I'm getting more done at my desk than ever. It's so inspiring to be in a space that feels nurturing and calming.

Working with Noelle took my understanding and experience of color to another level. Before that, I had little appreciation for how color in my home affected my emotions and moods. Now that we've painted our condo, I can clearly see how having the right colors on the wall opens opportunities to new experiences within my home and my life.
Having claimed our home space as our own, we are experiencing a different sense of nourishment; and this has dramatically impacted our ability to properly represent ourselves in various aspects of our life. Beyond the huge time saving component of having Noelle on our team (seriously it would have taken us months to get those colors right on our own), working with her has expedited movement in other areas of our life that we just could not have expected. We feel so grateful for her!

Noelle helped me feel and choose the colors I wanted instinctively for my own healing. She is a treasure.

Noelle is my secret weapon - I love to take credit for her ideas! I recently moved into a new home, and while I was so very excited by the opportunity to create a new surrounding for my family, I was also very intimidated. Lots more space to consider, a new baby… The process pretty quickly became much more stressful than pleasurable.
Noelle helped me narrow down my choices, and picked up on what I was feeling as well as seeing! At the risk of sounding corny, she helped me marry some of my ideas - in a very simple way - with what was going on with me, and I absolutely adored working with her. I love, love, love my colors - I only wish I had more rooms to paint!

This is the least painful choosing colors has ever been.

I called Noelle Lake in to design my front hallway, which opens into my office reception/waiting area. The challenging existing colors were designer white walls with sienna yellow doors in the front hallway, and off-white on two walls, a bittersweet chocolate accent wall, and a dark salmon accent wall. All remnants of years of making compartmentalized changes. The only color I was attached to was Benjamin Moore’s Dark Salmon, because it matched backdrop to a large framed print of Georgia O’Keefe’s watercolor, Poppy Flower.
Within an hour, we agreed upon a color spectrum from Farrow & Ball and she guided me into a whole new palette, which integrated the two areas with flowing colors. I even made a slight adjustment on the Dark Salmon, updating it to Lake Red, which I absolutely love.
I am thrilled with the results. The goal was to lighten the energy and bring me joy. Done!
