“Brad and Kendra are awesome. Their attention to detail and to their client needs is unsurpassable. We purchased a historic farm house that was completely gut renovated and needed to be designed and decorated from top to bottom. Brad and Kendra took on the project with such enthusiasm and respect for our style and the historic nature of the house. Each room came out beautifully and we couldn't be happier. The renovation was even featured in Design New England Magazine and Boston Home Magazine.  We would recommend Color Theory Boston in a heartbeat!” - Janet H. : Medfield, Ma.

“We stumbled upon Color Theory about 5 years ago, when we were searching for an interior designer for our newly purchased home in Charlestown. My husband and I had interviewed many designers at that time, but no one came close to having the eclectic taste that's exuded in Brad and Kendra's work! I feel the name "ColorTheory" is very appropriate for this company, because Brad and Kendra really know how to implement color in design.

Over the past five years, we have hired ColorTheory for design work in three of our personal homes, as well as many paint and finish consultations for our investment properties throughout the Boston area. Not only are Brad and Kendra extremely talented, they are also super nice and easy to work with!! They really listen to the needs and wants of the client. The quality of their work is immaculate! I would highly highly recommend them to anyone looking for design or paint work!!” - Charu M. : Charlesown Navy Yard, Ma.

"I discovered COLOR THEORY when I received my monthly subscription of Boston Home magazine. I viewed their website and loved their portfolio! I called and left a message, Kendra promptly returned my call and we scheduled a Color Consultation.  When Brad and Kendra came to take a look at my home, I knew instantly we would work well together. I informed them the scope of the work which was to update my two children's rooms to reflect their personality, style and interest.  I loved their ideas and before you knew it, I wanted to see what ideas they had for the rest of the home. When I received my Quote via email, I asked them if they could "cut me a deal" to redo the whole house instead, and they delivered a more than fair Total. 

The work began 3 weeks after our initial consultation and it lasted about 2 1/2 weeks.  I was amazed at the time line and was skeptical at first, but Brad assured me that it would all be complete on time, which in fact it did.

We are all very happy with the work that Brad and Kendra has done for us.  My kids love their rooms and we are all very happy with the way the rest of the house turned out.  Bravo work to Brad and Kendra.  Even if you are just looking to add a fresh coat of paint or wallpaper a room or two, I would urge you to check COLOR THEORY out.  It is worth it."

color theory Boston did an unbelievable job of transforming our lower level into a serene and elegant retreat. After having a conversation about our desires for the atmosphere and functionality of the space, they put together a comprehensive proposal within 2 weeks which literally specified every color, treatment, hardware and furniture which included custom designed cabinetry. The project has just completed and the results are absolutely stunning, well beyond our wildest expectations. The space has the perfect combination of form and function which we use every day. Brad and Kendra have rare talent and we are so grateful for the transformation they have done to our space. - Brock W. : Cambridge, Ma.

"I had struggled for a while to figure out how to transition my Boston loft from it's 7 years of very vibrant Caribbean colors to a more neutral vibe without losing some of the color I love so much. Enter, Brad and Kendra Dufton! What a team. I was a bit timid at first about letting someone else into my world since I fancy myself as a student of color and design. I worried that their tastes would not blend with mine and I would end up with a big bill for nothing or a compromise that didn't work for me! That definitely did not happen! 

First of all, Brad and Kendra are very, very easy to work with and they understand that their customers bring opinions to the table, too. And you quickly realize that Brad is a color wizard! He really has a sixth sense about what works and what doesn't work in a space. And since Brad paints all of the spaces that he and Kendra help create and decorate he has had a great deal of first-hand experience with many of the colors you may choose. 

Brad's choices of colors for my space were spot on. I even love an accent wall that threw me at first but after months of living with it I get why Brad chose the color. And his paint job was very good! Good enough that I recently hired him again to paint my Dad's new home! (Dad is delighted with the results, also.)

Brad and Kendra also have been great at sourcing additional key pieces for me and referred me on to a furniture designer who has been great to work with as well. They really are a full-service company with a lot of talent. By the way, they are very reasonably priced and interacting with them is a pleasure. You won't be disappointed!" - Carole B. :Boston, Ma.

"Brad and Kendra were fun, professional, and easy to work with.  Brad immediately knew what paint colors would make my very small condo seem light and open, I couldn't be more thrilled with his choices, it's exactly what I was wishing for.  Kendra's choices in fabrics, bedding, furniture, and layout were just perfect, very thoughtful choices.  Brad and Kendra were such a pleasure to work with, I would definitely recommend them!"

- Nicole R. :Boston, Ma.

"Based on a family recommendation and their portfolio, my wife & I hired Brad and Kendra to design and repaint/wallpaper the foyer, kitchen, and nursery, and repaint the bedroom in our 800 sq. ft condo in Cleveland Circle.  They were extremely flexible in adjusting their project plan and estimate to fit within our overall budget, and kept focused on "bang-for-buck" when suggesting design & decor options. Working with them could not have been more pleasant; both Brad and Kendra were personable, attentive, professional, and EXTREMELY generous with their time, effort, and resources.  We are very pleased with the quality of the work as well.  Loved their aesthetic going in, and they showed both inspired design and a good understanding of what our sensibilities were.  The execution of the paint and wallpaper in every room was also spot on. Great folks, great work, highly recommended." - Mike S. : Brighton, Ma.

"We have happily hired Color Theory Boston twice in the past year. The first time was to hang our Osborne & Little wallpaper in the master bedroom. They worked quickly, cleanly, and efficiently.  The finished result looks fantastic. After that project, we turned over our entire place to Brad for a complete paint make-over. Brad designed a complicated interlocking stripe pattern for the entrance way using three colors of paint that he then incorporated throughout the apartment.  We live in a loft building, and Brad used paint in surprising ways to accentuate the unique structural characteristics of our place. He fearlessly painted columns and ceiling treatments, and with great joy,  we watched our place spring to life.We have hand painted birch trees along the walls of a newborn nursery. The trees are stunning and have an urban-camouflage feel. Brad also interspersed hand-painted orange birds on the branches, symbolizing the 5 family memebers. You have to see it to believe it! All told, Color Theory Boston repainted our entire loft space in just under 2 weeks.  They moved and replaced furniture and wall hangings as needed and kept the place extremely tidy after each day of work. The project even finished ahead of schedule, and along the way several neighbors stopped us to comment how courteous and professional the Color Theory Boston team was to everyone they came into contact with in the building. Beyond their obvious artistic talents, Brad is genuinely a nice person and knows how to listen/interact with clients.  I can not recommend Color Theory Boston highly enough!”  - Dayna G. : Boston, Ma. 

"We initially hired Color Theory Boston to do a color consultation for our new house.  The home's previous owners had very different taste than we do, and we felt that it needed a fresh look.  From the very moment that we first met with Brad and Kendra in our house, we knew that they were the right people for the job.  They listened carefully to what we were hoping for, asked great questions, took a thorough survey of the house, and ultimately came up with a palette for the entire home. They even talked made some suggestions for a few spots where we could use wallpaper-- something that we had never considered.  And their suggestions could not have been more perfect. The effect was classic but fresh, modern but warm, cozy but bright. We were thrilled!  

A few weeks later the Color Theory painting crew came to start the painting and to hang the paper. We were amazed by the job that they did.  In just over a week, they repainted or repapered the entire home-- floor to ceiling.  They even went out of their way to fix existing problems that they weren't contracted to do.  They were meticulous, did beautiful work, arrived on time and left the property cleaner than when they arrived each day.  They were even lovely to our small children, who were often wandering in and out of paint cans and ladders while they were trying to work.  The process was quick and painless, and the results were absolutely breathtaking.  Suddenly, our house was feeling like home.

We moved in to the home a few weeks later, let the dust settle (literally and figuratively), and then started to imagine other ways that we could use Brad and Kendra's talents.  Within a few months, we hired them to help us with interior design for a few of the spaces in the home that needed some reimagining.  Again, their quote was very reasonable.  So reasonable, that we added a few more spaces.  Before we knew it, we had hired them to design almost every room in the home-- for less than we had anticipated paying for the original spaces.  And, again, their product was incredible. They immediately understood what we were hoping to achieve for each space.  They took all of our requests into consideration-- using child-friendly designs, repurposing furniture that we already had. They came by a few weeks later with three possible storyboards for each space.  And our biggest concern, honestly, was how to choose.  Each was more exciting than the last.  We set the wheels in motion, and could not have been more happy with the outcome.

It is now almost a year later, and I can honestly say that we could not be more thrilled with the work that Color Theory Boston has done in our home.  Over the course of a few months, Brad and Kendra designed beautiful rooms, accompanied us on shopping trips, placed orders, made literally hundreds of perfect suggestions (it was not uncommon to receive a text or an email on a Sunday afternoon with a photo of a recent find), thought and rethought specifics as our requests shifted a bit, oversaw the delivery and installation of the rooms, and basically transformed our home from top to bottom.  Even now, they'll notice things that they think might be a great addition, and bring them to our attention.  We could not be more excited about the results.   We get compliments every day on the design of our home.  And, more importantly, we love living there.  The home is distinctly "us", just far more perfectly laid out than we could have ever done on our own.  There is not a single piece of the home that we don't love, or that we feel isn't right.  Brad and Kendra made sure of that.

I'd also like to mention that, over the course of this experience, it has been an absolute pleasure getting to know Brad and Kendra. They are truly lovely people, kind, generous, warm, and unendingly creative.  We are only disappointed that we've run out of spaces in our home for them to help us transform.

We absolutely, wholeheartedly recommend hiring Color Theory Boston, whether for color consultation, interior painting/wallpaper hanging, or interior design.  We feel very lucky to have happened upon them when we first bought our home, and could not be more happy with the results.  We love our home, and love working with Brad and Kendra.  We are certain that, if you hire them, you will feel the same. - Dr. Evelyn M. : Wellesley, Ma
