Neutral Paint Colors to Use Before Listing Your Home
When you list your home, you’ll get the most buyer interest within the first two weeks it is listed for sale. That’s why your home should be Showroom Ready on day one. Showroom Ready means no clutter, clearing out non-essential furniture, and applying a fresh coat of neutral paint to walls.
Painting is one of the least expensive ways to add the WOW factor to your home. Wallpaper dates a home and makes buyers say Next! Bold colors are another turn off. (To use an ice-cream analogy: Even though you may like pistachio ice cream, vanilla is the #1 flavor choice. You want to appeal to the most people possible, not just the ones who like pistachio.)
Whether you do it yourself or hire a professional, here are some tried-and-true paint colors that will make your home sparkle. You can get them at the Steamboat Springs Sherwin Williams store. (You may want to buy a sample or a quart to try the color first, but these colors are the ones home stagers and decorators use.)
Here are Sherwin Williams colors to use for different colors of trim:
- White trim: SW #6142 “Macademia” or SW #6141 “Softer Tan”
- Oak trim: SW #7036 “Accessible Beige” or SW #7529 “Sand”
- Dark trim: SW #7526 “Maison Blanche” or SW #6148 “Wool Skein
Go see Chad at the Sherwin Williams in Steamboat Springs for color samples, paint, and accessories you’ll need like brushes, rollers, and painters tape.
