Home Staging: Transforming
A Room With Paint
Avoid bright colors,
fluorescent and neon shades, or colors that are very dark. The hottest trends in paint colors are soft
creams, taupes, and pale buttery yellow tones.
Neutral colors have a
universal appeal-both men and women give them favorable ratings.
Don't be tempted to keep
the wallpaper. Generally, buyers are put
off by it. They view the removal process
as another chore if they buy your home.
A room will appear larger
when you paint it the same color as the room adjacent to it. It can give the illusion of one big open
space.
Another favorite designer
tip, to give the illusion of more space, is to paint the walls the same color
as the drapes. It creates a seamless,
contemporary look.
