Of course, every Stager will tell you this, but if you are preparing your home for sale without professional staging advice, remember that some colors can be off-putting and distracting.
An article from NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS shares statistics and explains why those colors do not work. And why neutrals do.
So..stop before you paint your living room or dining room red. Red is the most off-putting color, according to a survey. It is extremely strong and may not be to everybody’s taste,” the study notes.
Fixr’s Paint & Color Trends report the following as the most off-putting colors to home buyers:
Red: 53%
Lime green: 53%
Bright yellow: 40%
Mustard yellow: 19%
Pink: 10%
Turquoise: 9%
Home stagers and designers like using color strategically to warm up a space and make it appear more spacious. We (Realtors) will advise the same.
61% of experts recommend using warm neutrals—like beige and white—to help make small spaces appear larger. “Warm neutrals can reflect light and visually recede, and their calmness can make a space feel less overwhelming,” the study notes. White was a favorite among home stagers in making spaces seem more spacious and giving the illusion of higher and wider ceilings.
When selling a house, paint and color trends need to be used in a softened way. Even if “attention-grabbing” colors are popular, your buyers may not love these trendy colors. And while those (Trends) are great for interior design, they need to be used in a more moderate way when selling a property.”
