“The best money I ever spent. Christine made decisions I struggled with for weeks- within two hours.”

How It Works:

  • Free discovery call- we talk goals and style.

  • I bring 100 large, game-changing, 11”x14” samples to see and compare in your home with your lighting and finishes.

  • Together, we choose colors and finishes that are timeless.

  • You get a confident plan- ready for painters or contractors completely stress-free.

Unlike online “color visualizers,” I consider lighting, home style, fixed finishes, neighboring spaces- everything. Real homes are complex, and good design needs that context.

Living room with beige sofas, a wooden sliding barn door, a deer head mounted on the wall, and decorative plants on a wooden coffee table.

  • "WOW. I cannot tell you how truly wonderful working with Christine was. She took what would have been weeks and endless hours of thinking and put it into two hours with SO much education and direction. She helped complete an entire color scheme for our new house and we are thrilled with the choices. It is the best money I have ever spent and will highly recommend her to anyone who needs help choosing paint colors or decorating choices."

    Kaitlin — Scarborough, Maine

  • "Working with Christine was a dream and a blessing. I was so overwhelmed with all the decisions that needed to be made when building my new home. Paint colors and matching finishes were causing me a lot of stress because there are so many choices. She listened to what I wanted and came to me with some solid options. She was patient and talked us through everything. She is responsive, reliable, knowledgeable and a true expert in her field. I highly recommend her services to anyone who is considering building or in the process of building. No matter how big or small the project is, Christine will take great care of you!"

    Tiana — Lisbon, Maine

  • “Christine has a great eye for both color and design. She listened carefully, and her recommendations were geared towards the scope and budget I presented. Her service includes leaving behind large swatches of colors, plus online renderings of the selected colors to assist in online purchases. She was responsive and communicative. Also shared vendor recommendations. 100% recommend!”

    Liza — Cape Elizabeth, Maine

  • "I had another builder stop by our house and said, you nailed it with colors, especially your front door because often people miss the mark with that. I told them we hired a color consultant! Thank you!"

    Cathryn — Freeport, Maine

  • "I had just recently purchased a new house and wanted to change the paint colors in a few of the rooms. I thought I knew the colors that I wanted. I was fortunate to have Christine come out to my home to provide recommendations. With her expertise and knowledge, Christine was able to guide me in a direction that was much more suitable for the room layout, lighting and fixtures that were already existing. The final colors that were chosen were a perfect option for each room. I am very pleased!"

    Jacqui — Standish, Maine

  • "Working with Christine was an absolute dream from the first inquiry and throughout the entire process! We are moving into a new house and really wanted to have it painted before move-in day. We had a few ideas about colors but didn't know where to start with this process because we are out of state. We are so grateful that we found Christine and met her in person for a house consultation. At the start, we were a little nervous and overwhelmed but very quickly Christine eased our worries and made the experience fun. We walked room to room looking at the fixed design elements and she educated us about what colors looked best and why. She had a ton of large paint samples so we were able to see and imagine what the room would look like each color. By the time she left, we had game plan for every room and knew exactly what color everything would be! We loved working with you, Christine and thank you for all your help and expertise!"

    Katie — Kennebunk, Maine

  • "I was struggling with deciding on a paint color for the living room. Christine came in with her tool kit and her tremendous knowledge of how to find the right color. She was patient with my indecisions and led me and did not push me to my choice. You could see the passion she has for what she does. Thank you Christine!"

    Celeste — Yarmouth, Maine

  • “I am so grateful for Christine's help. I was stuck trying to figure out how to pull together my exterior colors in our new build. From siding to decking, door color to railings, Christine was so kind, knowledgeable, patient and went above and beyond meeting me at the house in the middle of winter, (with no electricity or doors) and on a weekend without workers on site. We are thrilled with the colors we chose!”

    Cathryn — Freeport, Maine

  • "Christine was very thoughtful with her suggestions and recommendations always keeping my inspiration pieces and personal style in mind!"

    Jennifer — Brunswick, Maine

  • “I was struggling to choose some paint colors to update my bathroom due to the pink granite floors that sort of dominated the look. Christine advised me and taught me how colors work. We chose the perfect colors that updated the bathroom beautifully. The floors no longer steal the show, and I don’t even mind the pink granite anymore!! Ultimately, having Christine’s guidance saved me money, time, and effort because I got it right the first time! I couldn’t recommend her services enough!”

    Sarah — North Yarmouth, Maine

  • “We were so lucky to have Christine’s knowledge and experience when it came to picking the perfect shade of white for our new home. We wanted a very crisp, clean white without an undertone that would take away from what we envisioned. Honestly, we had no clue how much goes into picking the perfect shade to go throughout the house. We highly recommend working with her, and look forward to working with her for more projects of our own in the future.”

    Susan — Windham, Maine

  • "We had a great experience working with Christine Dube, expert color consultant at Home Hues, on our primary bathroom renovation. She did an amazing job selecting wall and trim colors, as well as tile colors and patterns that complemented the vanities we were keeping. She has a special skill selecting design colors; we were amazed that she was able to create such a cohesive color/design for the space considering we were striving to stay within budget so needed to reuse certain existing fixtures. She even found a piece of art that tied the whole space together beautifully. We highly recommend Home Hues to anyone looking for expert guidance on color and material selections!"

    Lindsey — Falmouth, Maine

  • "I found making a whole interior house color change to be a daunting task and decided to reach out for professional help. Christine was the right person to help! Her knowledge of color and how the many factors at play that go into a final choice was extensive and so helpful. She was professional, pleasant and well organized, leaving me with a great package of chosen color samples to take to the paint store. I felt the consultation was money WELL spent! I would not hesitate to recommend Christine."
