Paint makes a big difference in the brightness and ambiance of a space. It can even affect the room's apparent size, so it's essential to choose the right colors before placing your home on the market. Here are the best colors to select for interior painting if you’re planning to sell a house.

The 3 Best Interior Painting Colors to Attract Homebuyers

1. Beige

Beige went out of style around the early part of the new millennium after being in vogue during the 1970s and 1980s. However, it is back today with a vengeance. It pairs well with natural wood trim, flooring, and furniture, and is especially popular in hues that have just a hint of blush. The reddish overtones give your interior painting landscape a warm, welcoming feel. Beige makes a good trim color, as well as an ideal base coat.

2. White or Off-White

Homebuyers typically like to picture their belongings in a room so they can imagine inhabiting it themselves. To encourage that, avoid gaudy, splashy colors and stick with neutral tones. This lets potential buyers better visualize themselves in the house and come up with their own decorating schemes. A fresh coat of white or off-white paint looks clean, crisp, and unassuming so that the room will appear well-kept, but your color choice won't interfere with potential buyers' imaginations.

3. Gray

Gray is simultaneously neutral and undeniably versatile. You can paint each room with a varying shade without ever repeating yourself. Consider dark charcoal with light trim for a cozy study, office, or dining room. Light grays with dark trim are ideal for smaller spaces, like bathrooms and kitchens. Continue changing up hues from one room to the next with slate gray, blue-gray, greenish-gray, and even silver.
