[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]As much as you love the perfect shade of beige that you chose for your living room, it may not be the best color if you plan on selling your house. The right colors can help an apprehensive buyer fall in love with your house, too.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]
Color Trends
There is a new shift away toward blues and grays, as the modern look is more trendy these days. Even in kitchens, blues are becoming the new yellow. According to a report done by Zillow where it analyzed 32,000 photos of homes and saw if paint colors affected their sale price, choosing blue paint can increase your homes? value drastically. A blue kitchen can increase home value by $1,809, blue bedrooms by $1,856, blue bathrooms by $5,440, blue dining rooms by $1,926, and blue front doors by $1,514. Ironically enough, light blue living rooms have the opposite effect and decrease sale prices. Beige should be used sparingly, and especially for living rooms (which increases the home value by $1,926). A ?greige? (a gray beige) exterior can increase the home value by $3,496. Thus, by paying attention to home trends and adjusting your color palette to create a different atmosphere, your home can get off the market faster. [/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]
Create a Color Palette
Along with cohesive decor, a color palette can help sell your home. Every room color should complement the house. Jarring colors could distract prospective buyers from the layout and amenities. Especially if the buyer doesn?t like the color, it can create a negative overall perception of the house. A well painted house gives the buyer more confidence that they are purchasing a well-kept house.

Avoid High Contrast
Creating a dark color palette can make a house feel cramped and gloomy. A red dining room can drive your home value down by $2,031. Contrastingly, an all white color palette can make a house feel unlived in and sterile. White walls can be too high contrast and even the lightest tint of color can help the space feel more inviting. A white bathroom could cost you $4,035 off your home value, the most negative color impact. Keep your color palette mixed with dark and light colors to create balance.
A fresh coat of paint can help bump up your house?s appearance before going into market. Choosing the right color can not only increase value, but create confidence that your house is a great home.
