Choosing a paint color seems like such a high-stakes game. Paint is an inexpensive way to update a room, but if you have to correct a mistake by painting a second time then the costs start to add up.

Paint updates the exterior of a home too. Here in Colorado Springs, you may own a home in one of our many new developments that are governed by Homeowners Associations that need to approve any changes to the color. This can be a challenge as well.

A skilled designer can help you choose the right color the first time. Our designer, Theresa Guthals, walks clients through a process to determine what colors would be appropriate for their home. Choosing the best color requires knowledge of how pallets of colors work together and what textures are appropriate for different uses. A designer also needs to understand how light and shadow will affect the way the color looks.

Theresa has been part of hundreds of paint consults and has kept track of what works and what doesn’t. She knows what colors and textures will work with your project without the trial and error homeowners usually go through.

Theresa works with clients to choose colors for the exterior of their homes too. She recently worked with a local couple in an HOA-governed development who had an idea of what they wanted to do with the outside of their home, but were concerned that the Architectural Committee might not approve.

Theresa suggested that they take a walk around the neighborhood to see what kinds of colors the Committee had already approved. They took her advice and even went so far as to knock on a door of a home with a color they liked. The homeowner answered the door, showed them the paint cans and they became friends.

Save yourself time, worry and money by contacting us to help choose the right colors for your home. We even know the best painters in town for everything from exterior paint to faux finishing and murals.

And who knows? You might even make some new friends!
