Paint Colors to Consider When Selling Your Home

Selling your home can be challenging and feel overwhelming if you're trying to restore its natural beauty. Before putting your home on the market, consider choosing new paint colors to help the home appeal to many buyers and sell quickly. A fresh coat of neutral-colored paint can go a long way and significantly improve your chances when placing your home on the market.


Tone it Down


A great way to help your home sell is by toning down the colors. If you have bright colors or multiple shades on every wall, consider toning it down by using muted shades such as gray or off-white. 


Toning down your wall colors can help attract buyers who might otherwise avoid purchasing a home that is too dramatic or dark. Giving prospective buyers a blank slate to work with so they can make the house their own is a great way to ensure you’re not turning off interested parties.


Sometimes, the
best interior paint is not the boldest or brightest shade. Subtle and subdued colors will make your furniture and decor stand out. Choosing tan, light green, or soft gray will make your walls look great and match most design styles. 


It is easier to switch out furniture and decor than repaint walls when you want to change the look of a room. Toned-down walls give you the ability to do just that.


Go Neutral 


Choosing
neutral paint colors is an ideal way to appeal to the masses. Whether you’re selling your home or simply changing the look of your space, consider using neutral colors to make your rooms feel warm and welcoming. It’s easy to stage or design your home when you have elegant and neutral walls as a backdrop. 


Neutral colors and thoughtful staging can help your home sell faster and for more money. If your walls are bright and disconnected, it’s hard for potential buyers to visualize themselves living there. Using neutral colors on the walls and in staging can help you appeal to potential buyers, giving you top dollar for your home. 


Keep the Fixtures and Cabinetry in Mind 


Whether you’re getting your home ready to sell or completing home renovations, consider your permanent fixtures and cabinetry before painting. Your larger fixtures like the cabinets, kitchen appliances, and light fixtures will likely remain the same unless you do a total transformation. Using the subtle colors or shades from these appliances or contrasting them with neutral walls is a great option for renovations. 


If you have dark kitchen cabinets and appliances, you should brighten the space by painting the walls a light and welcoming color. The proper paint color can tone down harsh kitchens and create a beautiful contrast that makes the area feel sophisticated.


Don’t Use Too Many Different Colors/Shades


Don’t be afraid of color on your walls, even if you plan to sell your home. Using specific colors in various rooms of the house can add value and charm to your home, but it’s important to use them wisely. If you’re going to add a bold accent wall in the living room with a deep blue tone, try to use neutral paint colors in the rest of the home.


The best interior paint options include an elegant contrast between bold and neutral shades. You don’t want to overwhelm prospective buyers, but you can still have fun and create bold moments in the living room or primary bedroom.
