Color Consulting in Waukesha, WI

Choosing paint colors from a fan deck is guessing. Professional color consulting is knowing. Diane Nelson Interiors develops whole-home color plans that account for natural light at different times of day, sightlines between rooms, existing finishes you are keeping, and the mood you want each space to create.

A color consultation starts in your home, not in a showroom. We look at your existing flooring, countertops, trim, and furniture to build a palette that works with what you already have, not against it.

Whether you are painting one room or the entire house, we specify exact colors, sheens, and application notes for every surface. You get a complete color schedule that your painter can follow without guessing.

Color Schedule

You receive a detailed document specifying every color, sheen, and surface for your painter.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from picking colors at the paint store?

Paint chips look different under store fluorescents than in your living room at 4pm. We test colors in your actual spaces at different times of day.

Can you work with colors I have already chosen for some rooms?

Absolutely. We often build whole-home palettes around rooms that are already finished.

Do you recommend specific paint brands?

We specify colors that work across major paint lines. If you have a preferred brand, we match to their system.
