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.

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.
