Why paint your home neutral when your selling it?

Why paint your home neutral when preparing to sell


It’s time to sell your home and the real estate agent comes in and gives
recommendations and the one we hear all the time is to paint your home a neutral color.



You just spent a lot of money putting custom colors and accent walls all over and you may
feel this is crazy but let me explain why this is the most important thing you could do to select
your home.


Colors invoke many feelings in people, happiness, calm, anger, when you painted that accent
wall a bright red and you love it, it may bring up a bad feeling for a prospective buyer on that
walkthrough, using a neutral color will be much more appealing and less likely to bring up any
bad emotions to any prospective buyers.


It also allows buyers to visualize a blank space where they can dream about the colors they
will add to the home.


Color Psychology

Color psychology is the study of emotional cues  (www.howstuffworks.com) prompted in humans by various colors. These can be quite strong. Bold yellow can upset young children , while light yellow is commonly used in babies rooms  These are important things to remember when preparing your home for sale.


Neutral colors will make your home the most desirable to as many people as possible and
that at the name of the game. 


It can be hard to visualize your home in a different way then you have been accustomed to.


What are the neutral paint colors?

Neutral colors are light to medium colors that can work well in the backdrop of other
furnishings and accents.


They can be a grey blend such as greige 
Before picking a neutral paint color for walls, decide if a warm or cool color matches
the ambiance of the space. Think about the neutral feel of the personality of your house.
Then look at the homes permanent fixtures such as flooring, or cabinets. What colors are they?
