Best Colors to Paint for a Home Sale

Posted on June 15, 2021

Painting for a home sale requires a completely different mindset than painting for your living space. A bright pink or green living room is going to hinder your home’s ability to get off the market fast, while other colors will accelerate it. The right colors will highlight your furniture and take your home to a whole new level. Our painting professionals have painted homes throughout the Summerlin area for home sales and know what sells and what doesn’t. That’s why we have compiled a list of our top three paint colors that will help your house sell fast. Let’s dive in!

The Classic White Walls

White is without a doubt the most popular color for home sales. Whether it is the kitchen, the living room, or the bedrooms, it is hard to go wrong with white.

 The blank canvas allows prospective buyers to envision whatever they’d like on the walls. The color also makes spaces look larger than they are, which is admirable for prospective homeowners. Some of our favorite white paint colors include: 

  • Snowbound by Sherwin-Williams
  • White Dove by Benjamin Moore
  • Carter Creme by Magnolia by Joanna Gaines 

 


The Neutral Tones

Our next paint suggestion for home sales is actually along the same lines. Neutral tones, such as grey

 and brown, are extremely popular. While you may not want to paint your entire interior walls these colors, they are great for accents. Wood is also extremely popular right now and we expect it to be for the next 5-10 years. Sure, these colors may be on the boring side, but prospective buyers will love them. Our favorite neutral tones include: 

  • Smoked Oyster by Valspar
  • Dorian Gray by Sherwin Williams
  • Agreeable Gray by Sherwin Williams

 


For Accents: Pale Blues

Our final recommendation is strictly for accents, such as kitchen cabinets or bathroom counters. If you’re really interested in moving away from the white/neutral color scheme, the bathroom or laundry room is an especially good place for blue tones. The color offers feelings of a clean, soft, and relaxing environment. Blue is also a great place for your home exterior! Here are our favorite shades of blue: 

  • Headspace by Clare
  • Skylight from Farrow & Ball
  • Moonmist by Sherwin Wiliams
