At Colorstory, we approach interior painting as both craft and interpretation. Based in New York City, we collaborate with homeowners, designers, developers, and brokers to create spaces that feel soulful, intentional, and deeply personal.
Known for our discretion, precision, and elevated craftsmanship, we blend technical excellence with an intuitive understanding of color, light, mood, and architecture. Whether preparing a home to sell or transforming the feeling of a lived-in space, our work is rooted in the belief that paint has the power to shape how a home feels, not just how it looks.
From meticulous surface restoration to gallery-level finishes, every detail is designed to enhance the story a space tells and the experience of the people living inside it.
Testimonials
David and Colorstory were great to work with from the start. Very communicative, patient and professional the whole way through. We spent a lot of time upfront discussing different whites and each one's pros and cons. The process was seamless and the results superb. It made an amazing difference for our new home and we could not be happier.

"Colorstory did a superb job of painting my apartment and readying it for sale. They expertly analyzed which repairs needed to be done, took care of them all, and communicated clearly with me throughout the process. He was a pleasure to work with — and the apartment looks beautiful! I would definitely hire him again.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with David and Colorstory for over 15 years, and he has become an essential part of our pre-sale strategy. David and his team don’t just paint—they transform spaces. Many of the apartments we bring to them start out dated, tired, or overlooked. With David’s eye for design and detail, they’re reborn as beautifully refreshed homes ready for the market.
What sets David apart is his vision. He looks beyond walls and fixtures to imagine what a space could be—and then he makes it happen. His team is reliable, communicative, and consistently on schedule, which is invaluable in our fast-paced business. Just as important, he stands by our team and our clients through every step of the process, often supporting buyers as they move in and begin tailoring their new homes.
Colorstory is more than a painting company—it’s a creative partner that helps us sell faster and at higher value. We trust David with every listing.
