Addison Homes Have Their Own Lighting Quirks
Addison homes range from 1960s ranches to newer two-stories. The light in each is different, and colors change in ways you don't expect.
North-facing rooms look cool
Many Addison homes have rooms on the north side that get blue-gray light all day. Warm colors work best here. Cool colors look washed out and flat.
South-facing rooms feel warm
South-facing rooms in Addison get warm, golden light. Cool colors balance this. Very warm colors can look too yellow in this light.
Older homes have lower ceilings
1960s Addison ranches have 8-foot ceilings. Dark colors make them feel lower. We recommend lighter ceilings and mid-tone walls.
Paint colors look different on your wall than on a chip in the store. We show you real color on your wall before you commit.

What looked good on the store sample looks wrong on your brick, siding and roof together.
What you get
