Hello
Friends!
Ignore the instinct to go with white, crowd pleasing colors that can show your house in the best possible light when staging your home.
Ignore the instinct to go with white, crowd pleasing colors that can show your house in the best possible light when staging your home.
When prepping your
home for sale, one of the most important tasks is giving your walls a fresh
coat of paint. The standard advice from most real estate professionals is to
keep them neutral with shades of white. But professional home stagers and
interior designers prefer to take a more stylish approach.
Remember, the overall goal of home staging is to make each room feel fresh, inviting and neutral enough so that prospective buyers can imagine themselves living there. That doesn’t have to translate, however, to bland, boring and devoid of style. Sometimes white can work, but a greater concern is making sure the room doesn’t look too stark. These elegant, crowd-pleasing neutral paint colors can help you stage your home to perfection.

As you consider these
choices, keep in mind that to present your home in the right light, you’ll want
to select a neutral paint color that coordinates with your furnishings and
finishes. The following warm or dark neutrals can add style and while
maintaining a mainstream look.
Gorgeous ‘Greige’
Gray has been the new white for years now. But not all grays are created equal. “Greige,” a pale gray with a beige undertone, is one of the most versatile colors for staging. Essentially a pale taupe, greige is a cool, sophisticated hue that can elegantly complement and add depth to a mostly white room. It’s great in both large and smaller spaces.

Bird’s
Egg Blue
This color can be referred to as a grown-up turquoise. A warm medium blue with sunny undertones, bird’s egg blue is an elegant choice for living rooms, bedrooms and bathrooms, particularly when the rest of the room is white, beige or gray.

A pale serene
turquoise works well with both traditional and modern decor to create a
soothing feeling in this room. This calm environment can have a positive
emotional effect on potential buyers and allow them to appreciate the beauty of
the space.
Dramatic Charcoal
A darker color can also be a surprising neutral. Many people might be hesitant to use a dark paint color, thinking it will make the room look smaller or darker. A dark color can, however, add depth on an accent wall. In a dark room it can conceal any shadows and replace an overall dark feeling with a serene and stylish one.
Charcoal, a deep gray, is a perfect dark neutral that can raise the style factor in a room as well as add a refreshing cool tone that complements beige and orange wood hues. Adding subdued drama, it works well in light-filled rooms or on an accent wall, especially in smaller rooms or on walls where you want to feature an architectural element.
For a stylish contrast, coordinate charcoal walls with accessories and furniture in lighter colors, such as whites and pale beiges.

Golden
Yellow
Let the sunshine in with a little golden yellow on your walls or fixed elements such as cabinets. A cheerful yellow can add warmth to a mostly white kitchen, and it works well with white or stainless steel appliances.

In other rooms, such
as a cozy bedroom or living room, this color’s sunny disposition can add a
layer of charm to an otherwise blah color palette. It’s especially helpful in
rooms that have low light, no view, or architectural features that cast dark
shadows. The golden hues help eliminate a darker feeling and can distract from
a bleak view.
Look for a yellow that has a slight wheat or creamy undertone and that isn’t overly bright or garish. A mellow yellow coordinates with most wood hues, earth tones, blues and pastel colors.

Classic
Navy
Navy blue is an excellent paint color to add sophistication, drama and a feeling of refined maturity to a room. Similar to charcoal gray, navy works well in a light-filled room or on a featured accent wall, particularly in smaller rooms or walls with architectural details like a fireplace.
Coordinate navy with contrasting pale hues like whites, silver or beiges.

A navy accent wall
gives an ordinary room a more designed and notable look. The dark wall not only
creates a dramatic backdrop to the simple wood bed and white accessories, it
also adds visual depth to that part of the room. This is a clever design trick
to help a room feel a bit larger or appropriately functional to a prospective
buyer.
Creamy
Whites
If your walls are already a shade of white and adding a new color isn’t in your comfort zone, look to neutral creamy whites to give the room a warm and refreshing look.
Creamy white has an undertone of pale beige or greige, without being too yellow. The added warmth can give a stark room a welcoming glow without adding color.

Pair your creamy
white walls with a whiter color on the trim, ceiling and fixtures. The
ivory-toned walls can create a subtle contrast between the cooler white of a bathtub
and surround. The effects will give the bathroom is a soft glow — something a
paler or cooler white wouldn’t do. https://goo.gl/6u5G6V
