New Year, New Introduction
A Colour Consultant’s Insight
Happy 2025!
As we step into a new year, I thought it was the perfect time to do something a little different with this blog: introduce myself and share a bit more about my journey.
Hi, I’m Ava, a colour consultant with a deep passion for helping people transform their spaces with the perfect palette. While I don’t consider myself a natural artist; paints, wallpapers, and the world of design have become my canvas for creativity.
From Criminology to Colour
Believe it or not, my background is in Criminology and Psychology. While that might seem like a leap, I’ve found that understanding people—their personalities, preferences, and the emotions tied to their homes—has been an incredible foundation for the work I do now. No matter how far I ventured academically, I always found myself drawn back to the world of colour and design, which is why I chose to make it my career.
A Family Tradition
I work with my family’s business, Colorworx Paints in Limerick, a generational endeavor that began with my grandfather and was carried forward by my father. Growing up surrounded by colour swatches and wallpaper books, I developed a love for paints, textures, and the stories they tell. Over the years, I’ve come to see how much a well-chosen colour or pattern can transform a space—and the way we feel in it.
I started Mayday to further branch into the world of colour and to try and expand on my creativity. This has allowed me to connect with clients on a different level and really help them with their vision.
What’s New in 2025?
This year is shaping up to be an exciting one! There are plenty of new developments, trends, and projects in store, and I can’t wait to share them with you. Whether it’s fresh paint launches, innovative wallpaper designs, or practical tips for achieving timeless interiors, there’s so much to look forward to.
Colour consultations are already underway, and I’m thrilled to be helping clients bring their vision to life. Every home tells a unique story, and it’s an incredible feeling to help people find the perfect colours to make their spaces truly special.

Bringing Colour to Life
As a colour consultant, my role goes beyond simply recommending a shade or finish. I specialize in helping people navigate the overwhelming world of paints and wallpapers to find solutions that feel personal, timeless, and just right for their spaces. With thousands of colours and countless brands to choose from, it’s easy to feel stuck. That’s where I come in: to simplify the process and provide you with options that align with your home, lifestyle, and personality.
What sets my approach apart is a focus on flexibility and longevity. While I adore keeping up with the latest interior design trends and paint launches, I believe your home should be a reflection of you—not a fleeting trend. Whatever you choose should stand the test of time and adapt to your evolving needs.

Ava
