Dressing Your Home for Sale - the Power of Paint

Would you imagine that your interior colour decisions could cost you money when you sell your home?

According to a report from the Property Reporter, when asked, 9 in 10 UK residents would reduce their offer to a home seller by £1,000-£5,000 due to a dislike of an interior colour. Staggeringly 3 in 10 would offer over £20,000 less!

Serial colour offenders on the most hated list are those bold and bright colours, such as Fuchsia, neon pink, bright yellow and vivid green.

This doesn’t mean living a life of beige, but it most definitely helps the property sale if the space is neutralised, so that any potential buyer can imagine their own belongings fitting seamlessly into your home.

If you are considering a move and would like to maximise the sale – do consider toning down any dramatic decorating schemes before marketing or photography – off white is an all time classic and will bring a fresh light feel to your space at the same time.
