Sometimes we need to help teach folks that less can be more even when it comes to color. This home had been lovingly maintained and had many positive things going for it until you walked in the Family Room. Then, POW, like a punch in the face you came up against this bright orange sponge-painted wall.
This was a project the homeowners had done themselves, so I had to diplomatically tell them that while some people like that style of wall treatment and color, many don't. Since the goal is to neutralize the home and make it appeal to as many buyers possible, the orange really needed to go.
There was a further discussion that the blue-gray tile around the fireplace didn't coordinate well in this color scheme.
They decided to proceed with my advice and the change was dramatic. Now, they still have an accent wall, but it just gently pops instead of punches!
