While bright colours and dark colours add character to a room, prospective buyers feel most comfortable purchasing a home that is painted in neutral colours. The rooms look larger, a fresh coat of paint livens up a room, and buyers can picture themselves painting whatever colour they'd like when they're looking at a clean canvas. You also don't want to be the house everyone remembers as lime green. However, neutral doesn't have to mean painting your entire house beige. You can use a sage green, a ginger, an olive, a caramel or even a smoky grey. Let elements like the colours in your kitchen countertops inspire the colours you choose for each room. I also encourage you to use different neutral colours in different areas of the house.
Neutral wallpaper is also acceptable, but studies show that neutral paint gets buyers to purchase more quickly than bright, whimsical colours, stark white or wallpaper with a busy pattern. Feel free to give me a call if you have any questions about the best neutral colour for your home.
