Transforming A Room With Paint
According to home staging specialists, painting the interior of a home is one the best ways to transform it into a decorator showpiece! Painting is easy, relatively inexpensive, and a perfect project for staging do-it-yourselfers.
Before you pull out the paintbrushes, I thought you'd be interested in a few great tips from the professionals. I hope you'll find them as helpful as I do... and happy painting!
· Avoid bright colors, fluorescent and neon shades, or colors that are very dark. The hottest trends in paint colors are soft creams, taupes, and pale buttery yellow tones.
· Neutral colors have a universal appeal-both men and women give them favorable ratings.
· Don't be tempted to keep the wallpaper. Generally, buyers are put off by it. They view the removal process as another chore if they buy your home.
· A room will appear larger when you paint it the same color as the room adjacent to it. It can give the illusion of one big open space.
· Another favorite designer tip, to give the illusion of more space, is to paint the walls the same color as the drapes. It creates a seamless, contemporary look.
