When deciding to sell a house, there are different ways to make sure the property is list-ready. Painting is an affordable, yet extremely effective way to spruce up the interior of any home. Choosing the right colors is essential to creating a space where potential buyers can picture themselves living. Here are some of the most tried and true options. 

What Are the Best Paint Options When Selling a House?

1. Off-White

All-white can create an attractive blank slate. However, it may not be the best choice for all rooms in the home. 

White kitchens, for instance, may seem bright and airy, but can be hard to keep clean and tend to show dirt. Ivory, soft gray, ecru, or other off-white shades are neutral options that appeal to buyers because they reflect natural light, making the space feel bigger without highlighting stains or spills.

2. Light Blue

Colors should create a seamless flow from room to room. The hue of the walls doesn’t have to be identical, but buyers should feel a clear connection as they tour the house.

Not only is light blue one of the most popular paint options for bathrooms, but it ties in well with a relatively neutral color scheme in other rooms. Powder blue or cerulean also works well in bedrooms, where it creates a calming sleep environment. 

3. Light Beige to Gray

Your choice of color for the living room depends on the number of windows and the square footage available in the space. Smaller spaces with limited natural light benefit more from a lighter beige that will help it to feel brighter and larger.

Conversely, using a dark gray in a large living area will make the space feel warm and intimate.
