As you are preparing your home for market, there are some small changes you can make to create a more neutral environment that will attract potential buyers, allowing them to envision themselves living in your current abode. Think about the bold purple walls in your teenage daughter’s room or the dinosaur mural in your young son’s. While these features are ones that make your house a home, they are the type of bold choices that may hinder others from seeing the full potential of your space. And one of the easiest ways to properly stage your home for buyers is with paint.
Create a Clean Canvas
A fresh coat of paint is one of the quickest and easiest ways that you can make your home feel fresh and clean. When it comes time to prepare your home for potential buyers, having fresh walls is an easy way to make your home more attractive. Spaces that see a lot of wear and tear – like the kitchen and foyer – are the ones that you should focus the most effort on. A new coat of paint will eliminate all the scuffs and marks that come with living in a home, creating a clean canvas for the place’s next resident.
Think Neutral
Another important aspect to home staging is creating a neutral palette, so potential buyers can picture their furniture on the floor and pictures on the wall. Many home stagers recommend taking down family photos and pictures your children have drawn, and they also recommend painting bright rooms in more neutral tones. As we mentioned above, bright bedrooms can prevent buyers from seeing themselves in the space, while a more neutral color like beige or taupe, will allow them to see a child’s bedroom as an office space, guest bedroom or art studio.
