Choosing the Right Paint Colors to Sell Your Home Fast

Getting your home ready to hit the market can be a daunting task but Next Door Realty Group is here to help make the process a bit easier! In this blogpost we discuss the power of leveraging neutral color to paint your home to sell quickly. While you might be tempted to keep or splash the walls with bright pops of color, those color choices might not appeal to all buyers. When selling your home it’s important to create an environment in which buyers can imagine them living. Creating a clean, blank canvas with neutral colors provides a backdrop that buyers will more easily envision their furniture and decor. Read on for neutral color pallet inspiration!

White

A crisp white can make a space feel clean and fresh. However, we recommend being cautious in the use of pure white, as it can sometimes come across as too stark and create a harsh environment. Instead, consider painting with warm whites or whites with subtle undertones.

Beige

Beige is a classic neutral that can create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Choosing a beige with a slight undertone of gray or taupe will keep the look modern as well as stand the test of time.

Gray

Gray is currently the most popular color choice in home design. Selecting a warm or cool gray depending on the lighting and other elements in the room will appeal to most buyers.

Greige 

A mix of gray and beige, greige is a versatile option that works well in many spaces. Greige provides a neutral backdrop with a touch of warmth and coziness and is most often used in bedrooms and living rooms.

Light Taupe

Taupe is a sophisticated and timeless choice. Light taupe shades can add a touch of elegance without being too dark.

Soft Blues or Greens

Soft muted blues or greens can also work well in certain areas, such as bedrooms or bathrooms. These colors add a calming and relaxing touch to these frequented areas.

Light Yellow

A pale, soft yellow can bring warmth and light to a room without being too bold. Soft yellows create a cheerful and inviting atmosphere and are often used to paint kitchen and dining rooms.

Keep in mind that it is not just about the color on the walls - the overall presentation of your home also matters, especially when staging your home. You should also consider how the chosen colors flow from room to room to create a cohesive and harmonious feel. Additionally, it is important to think about the lighting in each room and how it may affect the paint colors, making a room feel too bright or too dark.
