Paint seems like such a simple solution to changing the look and feel of a room.  While painting can be one of the most cost effective and budget friendly solutions for transforming a space, many buyers fail to recognize this when viewing homes.  Instead, a buyer who walks into a living room adorned in lime green paint is more likely to walk away from the property than consider what a weekend project could do to the space.

As a seller, making your home as appealing as possible to the larger group of buyers is key to getting offers.  Since many buyers lack the ability to visualize a space as something other than what they see (it is a special skill to be able to do so), it becomes the responsibility of the seller to neutralize their home.  Here are some of the best interior paint colors for your walls for those of you considering selling a home in Locust Grove or the surrounding areas.

A very important note…

Remember that suggestions to neutralize your space from a REALTOR® doesn’t mean that your decor choices are bad.  Using neutral colors is all about being appealing to the largest group of buyers as possible.  While most people won’t have a strong opinion either way about a warm white wall, a wall that is a bright pink delivers more polarizing responses.  Live how you like in your home (long live my gray walls!), but when it comes time to sell your home in Locust Grove, it may also be time to pick up the brush.

Best Interior Paint Colors for the Bedroom

A place to unwind after a long day, enjoy a peaceful morning on the weekend, or find solace from the noise of the household, primary bedrooms are important spaces to buyers.  Make this space as appealing as possible by covering the walls in one of these shades:

  • Warm neutrals
  • Soft or warm whites
  • Earthy Greens
  • Cool Blues
  • Earth Tones

Like in the living room, these shades invite buyers into the space and make it feel cozy and calm.  Buyers can picture themselves in the rooms along with their furniture sets and personal design choices. These shades are also more welcoming than a stark white.
