How to Select the Right Paint and Color to Sell your Home 

Posted on September 30, 2021

Our team at CertaPro Painters® of East Broward has worked with many homeowners about to sell their homes. They often ask for advice when it comes to the paint color, because it can have a large influence on the process. When selecting the paint color for your home it is important to put yourself in the buyers perspective. Often times, when a buyer walks into home they want to be able to imagine what they are going to do with space, which means there shouldn’t be too much of your style left in the home. Although you might have great style, it might not be the buyers style and this can deter them away from buying the home. Part of your style includes the paint color on the walls. This will give buyers the freedom to picture their style in the home! Here are some of our suggestions when it comes to best paint colors to sell your home.

Blue – It’s hard to go wrong with blue. Try blues with a greyish undertone for the kitchen, bedroom, or even the bathroom. A blue room can portray a variety of different things such as depth, stability, relaxation, freedom, and stability. These are all feelings you would want a potential buyer to get when viewing your home.

White – This is typically the most popular choice. White looks clean and bright and allows for the most freedom when it comes to imagining décor.

Warm Brown Tones – Warm brown tones instantly add a cozy and welcoming feel to any home.

Warm Gray – Consider a gray paint with warm undertones. If you want something a little bit unique while still remaining neutral a warm gray paint color could be the answer. It can create a casual and calm atmosphere while also making the room appear open and bright.

When in Doubt Stay Neutral – Although the vibrant or dark wall colors may suit you and your personality, it may not be for everyone. You wanted the potential buyers to picture themselves living in the home. Neutral colors allow them to do so while bright colors may drive them away.
