Westchester Homes Have Specific Color Needs
Westchester has split-levels, ranches and two-flats from the 1950s to the 1970s. The light and architecture here call for certain colors.
Daylight changes
Westchester homes get different light on each side. A color that looks great in the showroom can look dull in your north-facing living room.
Split-level flow
Split-levels need colors that flow from one level to the next. We help you pick palettes that transition well.
Exterior brick combos
Westchester brick homes need trim and body colors that work with red or brown brick. We know which combinations look best.
We've done color work in Westchester for years. We know what works in these houses and what doesn't.

A Color Consultant From Melrose Park, Not a Store Clerk

We work the near west suburbs every day and we know these houses. Same consultant, same large samples, same price sheet whether you're on Manchester Drive or down by the golf course.

What People Struggle With, and What You End Up With
Almost every color call opens with one of these. Here's the problem on the left, and here's what you get with our help.
The problem
The swatch in the store looked great. On your wall, it's too blue or too green.
Every room is a different color and it feels disjointed from one space to the next.
Too many choices. You're frozen between beige number five and beige number twelve.
What you get
Large samples in your light. No surprises when the paint goes on.
Colors that work together from the front door to the back bedroom.
You get a written plan with every color named. No second guessing.
