Color can be a powerful tool. It can completely change the mood of a room. Bright colors can energize an employee. Cooler, subtle colors can help a client relax. It’s no wonder color can have a huge effect on the pending sale of your home. Putting a fresh coat of paint on your walls should be a big part of staging your home. Jeff the Painter would like to explain how to stage your home with color.

Why You Should Stage Your Home for Sale?

When selling your home, you want potential buyers to picture themselves in your home. Not only that, but you want your home to appeal to many buyers. Studies have shown that homes sell quicker and for more money if they are staged. Making sure your home is neat and tidy can help the space look bigger. Choosing the right paint colors for your walls is a large part of staging your home.

Avoid Bold Paint Colors when Selling a House

As a general rule, light colors on your walls help the room appear larger. When a room has walls that are painted with darker or bolder colors, it can feel overwhelming to buyers. Bold colors are often better off used as accents when it comes to selling your home. There are many ways you can incorporate a pop of color. Bold accessories can add a lot to a space without over powering the entire room.

Should I Paint My Walls White Before Selling My House?

When getting ready to paint your walls white, it won’t take long to realize there is more to it than just painting your walls white. There are many different shades and variations of white and cream. If you aren’t wanting to paint all your walls white, it is a still a great color for the trim. Having two tones on your walls can give your room added depth. Some may think white is a boring color, but there are many different shades of white to choose from.

What are Neutral Paint Colors?

There are many different choices when you are trying to decide on a neutral color for your walls. Earth tones are made up of greens, greys, and tans. These are all in the neutral family. They carry with them a warm inviting feeling. This gives the room a sense of calm and relaxation. Earth tones are especially a wise choice in a room that has a lot of wood, stone or metal surfaces and accents throughout it. The combination of earth tones and these raw natural textures leaves the room feeling inviting, and not overwhelming.

How Important is Exterior Painting when Selling a House?

While the focus is usually on the interior your home when you’re getting it ready for potential buyers, don’t forget the value in curb appeal. Painting the exterior of your home gives it a clean, crisp look. Painting your front door with a bolder color is a great way to add curb appeal, and a great way to incorporate those bolder colors. Last but not least, nothing spruces up a deck or outdoor living space like a fresh coat of paint.
