Seven Tips for Choosing the Right Colors for Your Home

If you’re preparing to sell and want to maximize your property’s value quickly and affordably, repainting is one of the best solutions. A fresh coat of paint can conceal the dents and scratches that accumulate over time, while bright, white ceilings create an airy, spacious feel in every room.

For sellers, real estate agents often recommend sticking to neutral colors like whites and creams. These tones appeal to a broad audience and enhance the perception of space. Dark colors, on the other hand, can make rooms feel smaller, which is not ideal when selling.

If you’ve just moved in or your interior needs a refresh, selecting a color palette can be an enjoyable process. Here are some tips to guide your choices:

Be Inspired: Browse paint manufacturer catalogs or explore platforms like Pinterest and TikTok for inspiring color combinations that suit your space.
Avoid Trends: Just like fashion, paint colors can go in and out of style. Instead of following fleeting trends, opt for timeless palettes that won’t date your home.
Limit Colors: Using too many different colors can make your home feel disjointed. If you want variety, consider accent colors on doors or skirting boards instead.
Test Samples: Purchase test pots of various colors and paint small patches on the wall. This will help you see how each hue affects the room’s atmosphere.
Consider Lighting: Evaluate the natural light in each room, as well as artificial lighting. The type and direction of light can significantly influence how colors appear.
Add Pops of Color: While a consistent palette is often preferred, adding a favorite color as an accent can enhance spaces like living or dining rooms.
