Kimberly Collins Jermain describes herself on Houzz as an architectural color designer who guides clients in creating a color plan. She holds 5.0★ on Houzz from 8 ratings. In a 2013 Houzz review, a couple who retained her only to pick interior colors for their Vermont get-away house wrote that she started from the green metal roofs of the barn, house and outbuildings as the permanent colors and worked from there, with emphasis on the changing light through the seasons. They went on to hire her to pick colors for a new primary home they were building. In a 2014 Houzz review, a client who had worked with her for 8 years wrote that she picked all of the interior and exterior colors for their existing home, called her fees reasonable, and said she had saved them thousands of dollars by discouraging bad choices. In a 2016 review, a homeowner who had her help choose exterior colors wrote that she helped them think about what would work best for the history, architecture and placement of the home. In a 2018 Houzz review, a customer wrote that she came to their home to assess the colors and materials and gave detailed instructions on how to do the work themselves.
Kimberly came to my home to help me assess the colors and materials in my home so that I could create a palate that worked. Kimberly was incredibly helpful. Not only did she give me some excellent ideas, she gave me detailed instructions on how to do the work myself. She provided excellent insights and lots of value for the price. I can't wait to have her back to address other parts of my home.
I have used Kimberly many times. She is extremely helpful and talented. Her ideas are well thought out. Her reasons for choosing paint color were based on her professional opinion instead of fad colors. I recommend Kimberly to friends all the time!
Kim helped me to choose the exterior colors for my home this past spring and I could not be more pleased with the pallet she helped me to choose. Working with Kim was a real pleasure because she is extremely knowledgable regarding color, design and lighting and really helped me to think about the look I was going for and what would work best for the history and architecture and placement of my home. I plan to hire her again to help me with the interior color scheme!
Kimberly Collins Jermain is the frosting on the cake when it comes to color. I am constantly updating exteriors as well as interiors for my management company and recognize that Kimberly's color sense makes all the difference in a project .
Kim has an instinctive understanding of color, space and light and how they work together to affect mood. She consulted with our clients to give them an overall color strategy, which allowed them in turn to make their interior design decisions within a set framework. As a result, rooms in the home have a more distinctive character, yet there was an overall cohesiveness to the whole, with the architecture and color working in harmony.
