A sure-fire strategy to boost the appeal of your home in the sight of potential homebuyers is to paint dingy, outdated, or too-bold interiors and exteriors. The odds of selling quickly are greatly improved if you choose paint colors that are known to appeal to the greatest number of potential buyers. It’s great if you’ve enjoyed unique wall colors in your home! If you want to sell with as little delay as possible, however, get ready to call SNL Painting Inc. The professionals at SNL have expertise that makes all the difference in the outcome of any paint project.
With the following paint color tips, you could make doubly sure the new interior and/or exterior paint job on your home draws the interest of buyers.
Interior Paint
As homebuyers tour homes, they respond to the feeling that they have entered a place where they belong. It’s natural to imagine their décor placed in the various rooms. As the seller, you are very smart to encourage the imagination of buyers by presenting an attractive but virtually blank canvas. Dark colors, in general, should be avoided. The hues should work with just about any color scheme prospective buyers may prefer for their furnishings.
Taupe
Although taupe falls in the category of neutral colors, it is anything but dull. You can choose from a variety of shades. The undertones make subtle but significant distinctions in paint colors. Taupe, for instance, can have a gray or brown undertone. An exciting yet remarkably sophisticated option is taupe with a lavender undertone.
Light Gray
There are many shades of every color. Keep in mind that selling a home is easier when you don’t go too dark with any interior paint colors. Light gray is a cool paint color and, these days, it’s preferable to warm beige. A cool light gray room has a soothing atmosphere that creates a sense of calm. The color can also give a room brightness and make it look open and inviting.
White
A neutral space can always be created with white paint, but the real question is: What shade of white? There are more options in white than you might imagine. Stay away from the clinical, too-sterile look of stark white and the dated look of white with intense undertones of yellow. Blue undertones or tinges of gray undertones are perfect options for white walls.
Exterior Paint
If your house has a weather-beaten look, don’t hesitate to call SNL Painting. Attracting the notice of interested homebuyers practically demands great curb appeal. Landscaping is nice but nothing can beat a fresh exterior paint job. Choosing the paint color begins with a consideration of other homes in the neighborhood and the colors in nature that surround your house. Avoid clashing with neighbors while ensuring that you make an outstanding statement of some kind.
Greige
There is a debate these days in which it is widely argued that greige is possibly the best neutral color ever. It is a combination of beige and gray, and it is arguably the perfect pallet for selling a home. You can switch the gray-to-beige ratio to create warm and cool shades of greige—preferably a ratio that creates the ideal match for the utmost in curb appeal. Various shades of greige follow:
- Benjamin Moore Revere Pewter HC-172
- Behr Silver Drop 790C-2
- Benjamin Moore Gray Mist 962
- Farrow & Ball Elephant’s Breathe No. 229
Gray
For an on-trend color that helps to create an ultra-modern look, you may want to choose light gray, such as Sherwin Williams Modern Gray. A darker shade that may be perfect for your home is dark gray, such as Prestige Shaker Grey or any other of the many gorgeous options.
Sage Green
Another modern color is one with an earthy tone that beautifully accentuates landscaping, trim, and other elements that may come into play. Sage green, such as Valspar Sparkling Sage, may be the ideal shade to give your home unbeatable curb appeal.
