The Best Interior Paint Colors for Resale

When selling your home wouldn’t you love to sell it faster and get more money for it? Of course you would. One very easy way to do that is to repaint the home inside and out. An amazing 94 percent of realtors recommend painting as a way to increase value and sell time of the home.

• Remember the basic rule when selling your home. Remove all the personal touches you have made and make the home easier to look at. The prospective buyers will have their own personal touches and styles when they move in and you need to let them visualize that when they see yours.


• Neutralize the home with a color palette. Being neutral does not mean white either.


• Use yellow as a nice soft, warm inviting color. This color is almost a universal statement of coziness to everyone. Yellow is a happy color that just elicits a better mood in people. Trim yellow rooms with white and you will have a great combination.


• If you think white use cream instead. This is a color that automatically brightens a room. If there are a lot of windows use a cream color and sun will bounce off the walls making the room come alive.


• The use of beige will bring warmth to the interior of a home. It also makes things look larger and welcoming. Beige is one color that just will not clash with other color schemes or accessories. With this color you can bring in throw pillows and rugs to add color and the beige won’t clash with them.


• Sage green is also a color that will help to promote the value in a home. Something about green will help to lift people’s spirits better than any other color. It is a very soothing and calming color and it takes us back to our ties to nature as well. Of all the colors of green, sage green seems to work best for homes for sale. Try and stay away from lime or dark green colors.
