If you’re preparing to sell your house, schedule home painting services a few weeks before it goes on the market. Interior and exterior painting gives your residence a fresh look and also demonstrates a dedication to maintenance. Review some of the best paint hues to select before your open house event.

What Colors to Paint Your House Before Putting It on the Market

1. Neutral Hues for the Exterior

Stick to neutral colors such as taupe, off-white, beige, and gray for your home’s exterior. Keep the architectural style in mind and select white or a complementary color for the trim.

Use your neighbor’s homes as inspiration and follow homeowners association guidelines, if applicable. Bold colors such as orange, yellow, and pink can dissuade buyers, especially if they make your house glaringly different from the rest of the neighborhood.

2. Bright Colors for Your Kitchen

Save bright colors, such as a cheerful pale yellow, gray-blue, or light green, for the kitchen. Light reflects off such colors to make the cooking space appear larger.

A kitchen flooded with natural light also creates a safer area for dicing and chopping. A cooking zone with dark colors that inhibit light might make the space seem cramped. 

3. Pale Hues in the Bathroom

Create a spa-like feel in your bathroom with pale colors that convey a relaxing vibe. As with your kitchen, a bathroom featuring dark or bold colors seems to shrink. Even if your bathroom is relatively large, use pale blues, warm whites, and other muted tones to make it appear even more airy and spacious, especially if there’s only one small window.

4. Warm Colors in the Living Room

Help your buyers see themselves unwinding in the living room with warm colors. Neutral hues also benefit living room projects because buyers won’t start thinking about painting over them. Review soft taupe and other warm, unassuming brown colors to pair with white molding.

5. Soft Hues for Bedrooms

Avoid harsh red, orange, and yellow tones that can irritate the senses in the bedrooms. Opt for soft tones that encourage tranquility and restful sleep, such as eggshell white, lavender, and light gray. Warm beige and olive tones also provide mild colors perfect for the peace of bedrooms.
