Experts know that staged homes sell faster than
those that are not, and paint color is a low-cost but effective way of
showcasing your home. The following principles will help in guiding your
paint color choi
ces:
Neutralize & Update
The colors potential buyers see when they enter
your home should be neutral so that the buyers will not be distracted by
someone else's style. But "neutral" doesn't necessarily mean white. Using subtle color
can actually enhance the buyer's experience. Additionally, if your wallpaper has a
distracting design or is outdated, remove it and add a fresh coat of
paint for a more current, updated look.
Maximize Your Space
Light, clean, organized spaces appear larger. So
clean and declutter, and give your walls a fresh coat of paint to bring
the room to life and make it seem more expansive. Make sure to
coordinate your paint color with your flooring, window treatments and counter
tops to maximize the richness and expanse of your home.
Increase Your Home's Curb Appeal
First impressions are everything, so besides
trimming your hedges and grass, be sure your front door and any fencing
or mailbox posts are freshly painted. Buyers absolutely love decks, porches, and
patios, so make sure they are freshly painted or stained.
