Color consultation is the focused service for clients who know they need window treatments but aren't sure which colors will read "designed" vs. "random" in their room. We walk the space with you, look at existing furniture, paint, rug, and accent pieces, and identify a color path for window treatments that ties the whole room together.
“PennShades made the whole process effortless. Measurements were perfect and the install team was in and out in an afternoon.”
“We did smart film for our conference rooms and bathrooms. Looks incredible and clients always comment on it.”
“They walked us through every fabric option and didn’t upsell us. The honeycomb shades cut our window drafts noticeably.”

Signs You Need Color Consultation
You've picked the type of window treatment (roller, cellular, Roman, drapery) but you're stuck on color. Your room has multiple colors going on (warm walls, cool floors, mixed accent pieces) and you don't know what direction to go with windows. You're picking treatments for multiple rooms that share sightlines and want a unified palette. You're nervous about making the wrong color choice on a treatment that lasts 15+ years.
Color consultation is part of every full design consultation — but for clients who don't want a full design service and just need help with color, this is the focused offering.
Our Color Consultation Options
Within color consultation we focus on three layers: warm-vs-cool fabric undertones (which way to go given your room's dominant tones), value (light vs dark fabric — affects how the window reads against the wall), and saturation (neutral vs. accent — how much visual punch the window should have). We bring color samples and demonstrate options against your existing pieces.
The consultation deliverable is a written summary of the recommended fabric color path for each room discussed, plus pricing context for the treatments under consideration.
Color Consultation for Pittsburgh Homes & Businesses
Color consultation is most useful for homes with strong existing design — Pittsburgh's older traditional homes (Squirrel Hill, Mt. Lebanon, Sewickley) where the woodwork, floors, and furniture establish a palette that windows need to coordinate with rather than fight.
We install across Pittsburgh, Moon Township, Coraopolis, Sewickley, Robinson, Carnegie, Bridgeville, Mt. Lebanon, Upper St. Clair, Bethel Park, Cranberry Township, Wexford, McCandless, Fox Chapel, and surrounding western Pennsylvania communities.
What to Expect
Call (412) 534-5863 or book online. Schedule a color consultation visit. The visit runs 60–90 minutes per room. Quote for any follow-up window treatment work is provided at the end.
