Paint is the easiest and least expensive way to transform your space for staging or living. Even the smallest, room can look spacious and bright with the right paint choice. Neutral color with white ceilings appeal to a wider range of potential buyers. This color combo will make your space appear clean, light and spacious.
If budget is a concern opt to paint the kitchen and bathroom these areas draw the most notice from potential buyers. The best type of paint to use in these areas would be semi gloss because it can be washed, wiped and is resistant to moisture. Flat is recommended for the rest of the house.
Don’t forget to fresh up the trim and baseboards too, I recommend you keep them light as well. This will draw the eye to the windows and doors rather then stopping the eye. White trim will make your space feel fresh, bright and contemporary.
Staying neutral is important because it reflects move in ready which most buyers are looking. Colored wall can leave buyers wondering how hard it will be to paint over not to mention if it will match their current furnishings.
An all white color scheme can be bright and refreshing in a house but in a condo it can look sterile and incomplete. Instead choose shades that are creamy or off white.
Accent colors are the best way to liven up your neutral color scheme. You can go bold with color in small doses. A great way to add color is with cushion, decor items and artwork. Adding an accent color is a stylish and fun way to add some visual interest to your neutral color scheme. By keeping your color in small proportions you are able to change the color to stay current with trends or the season.
