So, when you have to stage your Southern, NJ home in addition to packing, it is natural to feel overwhelmed by your massive to-do list. You want top dollar for your home and you know it is essential to use paint colors and staging to achieve that goal, but what exactly are you supposed to do?
Do you find yourself stumped as to what buyers are looking for and how to go about giving it to them?
Fear not! Take a deep breath, pull up a chair and read on. We have put together a list of painting tips and neutral, space-enhancing paint colors that are sure to catch a buyer’s eye.
Before you select paint colors, you need to understand that your color palette is the backdrop against which your buyers will imagine themselves in your home. All the rest of your furniture, artwork and staging plans will play off of your wall paint colors. Buyers like to see a home shown with a neutral color scheme so that they can visualize themselves in every room of your home, but this does not mean that you have to turn your home into a sea of beige. Believe it or not, you can use carefully chosen colors to your advantage as you get your home ready for the market.
Neutral– We have said it before, and we will say it again: Buyers like a neutral color scheme because it feels inviting and full of possibility. Grays can be great paint colors to use as you stage your home. Remember, you aren’t painting your home so that you will love it, you are painting it to please your buyer and get top dollar. Try out neutrals in the gray family, such as Manhattan Mist by Behr Paint or Storm by Benjamin Moore paint colors.
Natural- People are drawn to natural tones, so consider using beige as your backdrop. You can always add in subtle, natural hues like aqua, brown or citrusy yellows in your artwork and textiles for pops of colors. For a great beige paint color try out Accessible Beige by Sherwin Williams paints.
Playful– Beige and gray don’t have the corner on color when it comes to home resale. In fact, studies show that buyers are comfortable with a little color here and there. If you choose to use color to stage your home, be sure they are still neutral and easy to work with. Consider using Watery by Sherwin Williams paints in your master bedroom or Spring Meadow by Benjamin Moore paint colors in a bathroom space.
