If you’re selling your house, a fresh coat of interior wall paint is one of the least expensive and most effective updates you can do to help stage the home. The accepted wisdom for staging is to keep paint colours neutral, in the whites and beiges. The idea is that the neutral colours let prospective buyers picture their own décor ideas when viewing they house.
Staging a home is like marketing it. You present the house in the best way possible to improve how fast, and for how much, it sells. Marketers will tell you that the secret to good marketing is to highlight what’s different about what you’re trying to sell.
So if every other house on the market is painted in whites and beiges, what should you do when staging your home?
Wall Paint Colours that Help Stage Your Home
If you were able to find paint colours that weren‘t bland, and unlike what buyers see in other homes, then your home will have an advantage over the rest.
Here are just a few wall paint colour suggestions that will add unique style, while not being too bold for your buyers.
Benjamin Moore – Come Sail Away
This pale turquoise works well in a variety of living room decors, so you may not need to change anything else in the room. In colour psychology, turquoise is said to create emotional balance and stability.
Benjamin Moore – Lemon Meringue
As delicious looking as the name implies, Lemon Meringue goes well with wood, marble or granite countertops in modern or traditional kitchens.
Benjamin Moore – Shadow
A former Benjamin Moore colour of the year (2017), Shadow continues to attract fans. We’ve included it here to prove that even darker shades can work for home staging. When used on an accent wall, Shadow can add depth and dimension to just about any room in the house.
