One of the best things about owning your own home is the ability to slather any of the walls with your favorite color of paint! FINALLY you live in a place where tired and boring “apartment white” walls don’t exist. Sometimes we may even go a little color crazy. Everyone has that one friend with the lime green bathroom, orange office or hot pink bedroom and we know it isn’t a throwback to the 1970’s.

Someday when you turn around to sell your home, those colors that seemed so fun and were perfect for you may not thrill potential buyers who view your home. In fact, they may take one look at that blood red living room and make a mad dash for the door. Once your home is listed for sale on the market it turns into a model home of sorts. Take it from the masters of staging, new home builders, neutral is ALL the rage! There is a reason that no one has ever walked into a model home and remembered the paint color. Builders use soft taupe walls and cream crown molding and baseboards so that you see a beautifully appointed space.

When prepping your home to sell make sure you remember to take some of the extra…”personality” out of it first. The easiest way to do so is to repaint your home in neutral colors. And if you are looking for the worse colors to avoid using in your home, well, EVER just follow the link below.
