Interior paint – select warm neutral colors

Your home is more likely to sell with a fresh coat of paint, which is the very first thing buyers see.

You want to have nice, fresh impression for the buyers, They don’t want to come into a house that looks like it’s been worn hard and is in poor condition.

Neutral colors make it easier for potential buyers to imagine themselves living there because the paint goes with just about anything. Many buyers also don’t want to shell out extra cash to paint after closing.

The three experts we spoke with all recommended warm neutral colors. They suggest using beiges, tans, golds, grays and “greige”—a blend of gray and beige. Avoid white, which is too stark.

Know which rooms to prioritize

“Paint is the simplest, most effective, and most transformative way to change a space,” says Christina Hoffmann, concept manager of HouseLogic.com, a homeownership and buying resource produced by the National Association of Realtors. “The right kind of paint can make a small room look bigger and a cavernous room look smaller,” she adds.

Small rooms can appear larger if you paint them with a lighter or pastel color, says Hoffman. If you paint the trim and the walls the same color, you’re creating an illusion of larger space. If you have a large room that you’d like to appear smaller, try using a warmer or darker color to give the space a cozier feel. Lighter, neutral colors tend to photograph better since they make the room feel brighter.

Hoffman advises prioritizing painting your kitchen, bathrooms, entryways and foyer. Purchase a sample can and paint a swatch of wall or a piece of cardboard that color to check if it works in the space. Observing how natural and artificial light plays on the color can help you narrow down which to use.

Color can also emphasize unique features. A bright white baseboard can pop against a different colored wall. A more colorful nook could create a memorable impression on buyers. Hoffman says those tiny, charming details can make a good impression on potential buyers.
