Hot Seller Tips
painting before selling, you will sooner or later ask yourself, ‘What colours do
I use?’
When choosing colours for large areas like walls, ceiling and floors, always
stay with neutrals. Although dark colors are popular among interior
designers, home staging will require that you select light, neutral colours
such as grey, stone, taupe, white, off-white, caramel or cream.
Avoid strong, individual colours and feature walls – some buyers may like
them, but the vast majority will be turned off by them.
WARNING: Regarding white walls, it can be tempting to paint everything
white as it is ‘neutral’. I know sellers who have decided this was a good idea
and purchased plain, old ceiling white in bulk. They thought they would
save a bit of money AND having to make a colour selection. However, this is
definitely not a good idea. It will look cheap and cold. It is far better to select a
white shade from a colour chart as the very slight tint in the paint will make
the rooms look warmer and intentionally more expensive. Select a white
that will compliment the existing colours around the property (for instance
the exterior walls). If the existing colours are warm browns and beiges, select
a white with the same warm undertone. And if the existing colours are cool
blues or greens, select a white with the same cooler undertone.
