Color ideas to add great value to your home
by Amy Wax Amy Wax – International Color ConsultantRe-painting your home
is one of the most effective (and affordable) ways you can increase your home’s
market price. So, if you are planning on selling your home quickly and get
top-dollar offers, you should consider re-painting its exteriors and interiors.
Here are some color
ideas that may come in handy.
Be bold with the
exterior
Your home’s exterior
is the first thing your potential homebuyers lay eyes on. So, you want to make
sure your exterior
paint colors pop and what better way to do that than to paint it a
bold color like light blue or green or maybe even yellow? Bold colors may seem
risky at first, but once you have painted, your house is undoubtedly going to
be the most enviable one on the block.
The interiors
For the living room: Think cozy
When picking out a
color for the living room, you want to think cozy and warm. Gray is a trending
color for living rooms, but deep, intimate tones of red to neutral earth tones
are better options as these colors are associated more with joy, positivity and
charm than gray.
For the bedroom: Choose a soothing palette
When it comes to your
bedroom, cool and calm shades of blue, gray, white and beige are the way to go.
You can also pair these shades with a more vibrant palette and add pops of
colors where you want.
For the
kitchen: Keep it clean
(Not)
White seems to be the
go-to color scheme for kitchens, and rightly so. It is natural, simple and
neat. Yet if you want to perk up your kitchen space or you just want to take a
more non-traditional approach, you can consider painting your kitchen walls
with rich colors such as deep blue, leaf green or bright red. These tones also
smartly bring out the architectural elements of your kitchen and restyle your
antiquated cabinetry. So, a win-win!
For the bathroom: Keep it simple and elegant
The bathroom is the
most challenging place in your home to make attractive and inviting to
everyone. But an easy trick you can use is to keep it neutral without pops of
colors or tons of character.
Keep in mind that the
choice of colors is heavily dependent on your house. The color that looks good
on one house may not necessarily suit yours. So, before deciding on a color, it
is in your best interest to consult a paint color expert in New Jersey.
