Color Consultations

Color Selection Backed by Experience and Expertise

Choosing the right colors for your home or workspace can be overwhelming. With so many shades, finishes, and materials to consider, it is easy to feel uncertain. At PNB Interior Design, Inc., we take the guesswork out of color selection by offering professional, licensed interior color consultations across Massachusetts and Maine.



With over 45 years of interior design experience, our team helps clients identify color palettes that reflect their style while enhancing the natural light, flow, and purpose of each room. From bold statements to subtle neutrals, we create harmonious palettes that unify your space and bring out its best features.

What Our Color Consultations Include

Our process begins with a thorough discussion of your preferences, goals, and how the space is used. Whether you're refreshing a single room or coordinating finishes across an entire home, we provide personalized guidance that fits your needs and supports your larger design vision.


A color consultation may include:


  • Interior paint color selection
  • Finish and sheen recommendations
  • Color palette planning for multiple rooms
  • Material and finish coordination
  • Color mapping for trim, ceilings, and cabinetry
  • Lighting assessment and natural light analysis
  • Accent wall and feature color planning
  • Integration of furnishings and existing décor


We work with you on-site or virtually to ensure that the colors chosen not only look great in the sample booklet, but perform beautifully in your actual space under real lighting conditions.

The Impact of Professional Color Planning

Color is one of the most powerful elements in interior design. It influences mood, alters perception of space, and sets the tone for how a room feels. A poorly chosen palette can make a space feel cold, dark, or disconnected, while a well-planned one can bring warmth, balance, and cohesion.


Professional color consultation helps to:


  • Enhance natural and artificial lighting
  • Create continuity between open or adjoining rooms
  • Support the style of your furnishings and architectural elements
  • Address difficult conditions such as low light or awkward angles
  • Provide visual flow across floors, walls, cabinetry, and built-ins


At PNB, we use proven principles of color theory along with practical experience to recommend choices that are timeless, livable, and beautiful.

Paint Is Just the Beginning

While many clients come to us for paint selection, our color services often extend beyond the walls. We help coordinate:



  • Cabinetry and built-in finishes
  • Flooring materials and tile
  • Countertops and backsplashes
  • Wallcoverings and textiles
  • Window treatments and trim
  • Lighting finishes and hardware


This layered, whole-room approach ensures that all elements work together visually. Even a small space can feel more intentional and elevated with the right color plan in place.
