Whether you’re in Valparaiso, Chesterton, Portage, or Hobart, choosing the right color can make your home feel brighter, bigger, warmer, or more welcoming — depending on how the light hits each wall.”
Choosing paint colors shouldn’t feel overwhelming. Yet many homeowners walk into Sherwin-Williams expecting a quick decision — and walk out holding seven shades of gray that all look different at home.
It’s not the homeowner’s fault. Color is tricky. And every home treats color differently.
I’m Michael, owner of Hoosier Boys Painting, and helping homeowners navigate this process is one of the parts of the job I actually enjoy. Color should enhance your home, not complicate it.
Color Impacts More Than You Think
A room changes dramatically depending on the paint.
Tone, warmth, brightness, depth — all of it plays into how the room feels the moment you walk in.
- The right color creates harmony.
- The wrong color creates tension.
Here’s what we look at with you:
Lighting
Sunlight vs. evening lighting makes a huge difference.
Room Size
- Light colors open a room.
- Darker tones bring character and depth.
Your Existing Decor
Floors, cabinets, trim, and furniture all influence how colors read.
This isn’t about trends. It’s about helping you choose a color you’ll love for years.
Real Samples Beat Guesswork Every Time
- Those paper swatches don’t tell the truth.
- Real paint on real walls does.
We apply sample swatches so you can see how the color looks:
- in morning light
- in evening warmth
- next to trim
- next to flooring
- after it fully dries
This step alone saves homeowners from repainting later.
