I think we can all agree painting is one of the best investments you can make to update your home quickly and effectively. The question is, where do you start in picking the best color with selling in mind?
The main goal of prepping your home to sale is to make it as appealing as possible for the largest pool of potential buyers, which means neutralizing your color palette and giving it a warm, inviting, clean feel.
Warm neutrals are the best staging go-to paint colors. Why? Buyers want to be able to picture themselves in your house. Neutral colors don’t offend. Also, they offer a welcoming first impression and a neutral backdrop for others to visualize their own furniture and artwork in your space.
There are “cool” paint tones and “warm” paint tones. Warmer colors breath energy and positivity. Cooler tones communicate relaxation and calm. Although we want to evoke both feelings to the potential buyer, warmer tones, generally speaking, are on trend in 2022.
If you’ve painted within the last 5 years, you probably know the trend leaned towards cooler grays, but in 2022, many homeowners are opting for slightly warmer grays, warm whites, or greige (yes this is a real term) paint colors. These warmer neutrals keep the walls warm while still maintaining a neutral and light feeling.
