Maywood Light Changes How Colors Look
Maywood has a mix of older homes with small windows and newer homes with larger ones. The light in your space matters more than the color chip in the store.
North-facing rooms
North-facing rooms in Maywood get cool, indirect light. Colors look darker and grayer. We recommend warm whites, soft beiges, or warm grays to balance the light.
South-facing rooms
South-facing rooms get warm, direct light. Colors look brighter and more vibrant. We help you choose colors that won't look washed out or too intense.
Old Maywood homes
Pre-war Maywood homes have smaller windows and lower ceilings. We suggest lighter colors to make rooms feel bigger and brighter. Pair with ceiling painting for a finished look.
We test colors at different times of day so you see exactly what you're getting before any paint goes on the wall.

What Maywood Clients Struggle With, and What They Get
Color is the hardest part of any painting project. Here's what we fix.
The problem
The chip in the store looks perfect, but on your wall it's too dark, too bright, or the wrong undertone.
Each room was picked separately and now they clash when you look through the doorway.
Flat paint in a kitchen or semi-gloss on a bedroom wall that's too shiny.
What you get
We bring large samples and stick them up so you see the color in your light, not the store's light.
We choose colors that flow from room to room so your home reads as one cohesive space.
We recommend the right sheen—flat on ceilings, eggshell on walls, semi-gloss on trim and doors.
