What You Get When You Book a Color Consultation

North-facing, south-facing, morning light, afternoon light. We check them all.
Colors that work from room to room. How to transition from hall to bedroom.
We explain why a color looks different in your room than it did in the store.
Matte, eggshell, satin, semi-gloss. Where to use each finish and why.
We sell and use the paint we consult on, so the color you pick is exact.

Villa Park Light Changes the Color
Colors look different in Villa Park homes than they do on a swatch at the hardware store. Northern light, southern light, older windows, all of it matters.
North-facing rooms
North-facing rooms in Villa Park get cooler, bluer light. Colors that look warm on the sample can read cold on the wall. We tell you that up front.
South-facing rooms
South-facing rooms get warm, yellow light all day. Those are the rooms where a yellow-white can look cream and a gray can look beige.
Older windows, different light
Villa Park homes with older windows let in less light and more UV. We factor that in when we recommend colors. See our house painting page for more.
We also look at your furniture, flooring and fixtures. A color that works with honey oak floors will not work with modern gray LVP.

A Color Consultant Who Knows Villa Park Homes
We have painted hundreds of Villa Park homes. We know how the light hits a split-level at 3 PM and how a north-facing living room reads gray in February. That matters when you're picking colors.
We don't just hand you a fan deck. We bring large samples, put them on your walls, and help you see the difference between a warm gray and a cool gray in your actual room. We tell you why one color works better than another with your floors and fixtures.
We also sell the paint we consult on. So the color you pick in the consultation is the exact color we use when we paint. No guesswork. No last-minute switches because the store mixed something different.

What People Complain About, and What You Get
Almost every color call opens with one of these. Here's what the issue is, and here's what we do.
The problem
You picked a color at the store under bright lights. On your wall, it looks like a completely different color.
Each room picked separately. When you walk through the house, they clash at every doorway.
The store mixed a new batch. The color shifted. Now the touch-up stands out.
What you get
We show you samples on your walls, in your rooms, in your light. You know exactly what you're getting.
We plan the whole palette so every room works together. Hallways tie everything together.
We supply the paint we use. Every batch is the same color. Touch-ups match exactly.
