Colors & finishes

Try colors on a sample room

Pick a part of the room, then a color. It's a rough preview to help you narrow things down before the walk-through.

Color preview

Drawing of a room with a back wall, a side accent wall, ceiling, trim and a door. Colors change as you pick them.

A drawing with generic colors. Screens don't show paint exactly, so we bring real samples.

Which finish should I use?

Three quick questions. The answer is our usual pick, and we can talk it through at the walk-through.

1. Which surface?
2. How much do the walls get bumped and wiped?
3. What shape are the walls in?
