Interior painting and landscaping

Sue Ryan on Aug 29, 2016light neutral color is always best. I would paint all of the walls the same color. Cheaper and will make the rooms look bigger as there is no brake from room to room. Landscape...would need pictures to help.Helpful Reply

Kelvin on Aug 29, 2016I find Magnolia is a refreshing and clean look. Plus the buyer can visualise the look better with a lighter back ground.Helpful Reply

Amber Zona on Aug 29, 2016A light neutral--it depends on the flooring too, I would say gray is a popular choice now, but if you have a color that is really an orangey wood color, then a more warm color might be better. I agree one paint color throughout, thought that's not what I want to live with, that's what it seems like buyers are looking for, sometihng like a "blank slate" to visualize their belongings. Fresh and clean new paint is good!Helpful Reply

Francesca Sinacori on Aug 29, 2016I have been a realtor for 28 yrs as well as an investor who flips houses. Navajo beige walls/white trim, doors & ceilings. It's a clean look and the white makes it pop. As far as landscape, I would need to see a picture of the front of your house. But, w/o seeing it, I would say to make sure that you have the beds cut in and mulched, everything trimmed below the windows (if up against the house) and just make sure it looks neat and manicured (no weeds!).Helpful Reply

Cass Kwan on Aug 31, 2016Denise, as an Interior Designer and an individual who has bought and sold houses across this country, I agree completely with Francesca's comments about using neutrals to paint the interior of the house. With neutrals, the home looks fresh, clean and bright. A neutral color is NOT white, but ecru or a soft (never dark and saturated) grey. Grey is considered the new neutral but you have to be careful to choose one that is towards the warm tones. And a pure white causes glare. As far as the exterior is concerned, all shrubbery should be pruned neatly, weeded underneath, and next to the front door should be a beautifully planted container. Think which colors would most enhance the color of your house and front door. Best of luck!Helpful Reply
