Paint & Color Consultations

The right color the first time

We provide interior and exterior paint color consultations for homeowners across the Chicago area. Paint is one of the least expensive decisions in your home and one of the easiest to get wrong: light changes everything, and the gray that looked perfect online turns blue on a north-facing wall in February. We pair your home’s architecture, light, and furnishings with a palette that actually works.

How does a paint color consultation work

We walk your home with you, room by room or across the exterior, looking at light, fixed finishes, and furnishings. You receive a documented palette with specific colors, finishes, and placement guidance, so painters know exactly what goes where before they open a can.

Who this service is for

Homeowners repainting before a move-in, anyone whose freshly painted room somehow looks wrong, and families choosing exterior colors that need to suit the architecture and the neighborhood. It’s also a low-commitment way to work with a designer for the first time and see the difference expert guidance makes.

What’s included in a color consultation?

A color consultation is fast, focused, and immediately useful. You’ll finish with decisions made and documented, not a pile of sample chips.

‍

What you’ll walk away with

A complete color plan you can hand to any painter with confidence. Rooms that flow into each other, an exterior that suits the house, and no repainting regret.
