It is always very challenging to rent a house that has red, orange, yellow, green, blue, lilac or pink wall or carpet. It will take an extra one to two months to rent those properties and most likely at the lower than market rate.

Here's the reason why. Let say if a rental has red wall. Since about 50% of prospected renters will like it and the other cannot stand it, the color will eliminate 50% of the suitable renters. Thus doubling the length of time in securing a qualified renter. Also, the strong color of the property will probably post a challenge to match tenant's furniture's color scheme.

The same rule applies to wallpapers. Some people will like it and the others won't. Often times, even if they like rest of the house, most renters will just move on to the next suitable rental since there are so many to choose from in today's market. Landlord has only one shot to show the house right and it is important the house is in rent ready shape.

When replacing flooring or painting new paint, it is best to use neutral tone like beige or coffee since they are the most widely accepted color by renters. As regarding to wallpaper, it is best to remove it and replace it with neutral tone paint.

Landlords of properties with funky color decor will suffer more financial loss through rental vacancy since it takes twice longer to secure a suitable renter. Therefore, it is to the landlord's best interest to get rid of the wall paper and strong color decor and replace it with neutral tone decor to get the house rented promptly.
