Mundelein Light Changes Everything
Mundelein homes have different light conditions than Chicago proper. Suburban exposures, older growth trees, and open spaces all change how colors read.
North-facing rooms
Mundelein homes with north-facing windows get cool, blue light all day. Warm colors are your friend here to balance the chill.
South-facing spaces
South-facing rooms flood with warm, yellow light all day. Colors look warmer than they are, so we advise cooler tones.
Lake County trees
Mature trees around many Mundelein homes cast green tint on interior light. We account for that in color consultation in Mundelein by bringing samples to your space.
A color that looks perfect on a chip can look totally different on your walls. We show you large samples in your light so you know before a single gallon is mixed.

What People Struggle With, and What You End Up With

The problem
Small chips don't show how light changes color. You end up repainting.
Different colors in every room look disjointed and chaotic.
Flat on trim, gloss on ceilings - it looks wrong and wears poorly.

Large samples in your space, checked in different light, so you know before you buy.
Colors that transition smoothly from room to room, creating a cohesive feel.
We tell you exactly which finish for walls, trim, ceilings, and cabinets.
