31 Days to Sell Your Home: Day 13 – Neutral Paint = Fresh Start
🎨 Your Favorite Color Might Be Costing You
Buyers want to imagine their lives in your home — not work around your color palette.
That bold accent wall? That moody bathroom? It might look great on Instagram, but it could be the one thing that makes a buyer walk away.
Why It Matters
Color is emotional. It sets the tone, makes a room feel larger (or smaller), and plays a huge role in whether buyers perceive a space as fresh or dated.
Neutral paint doesn’t mean boring. It means clean, bright, and move-in ready.
What to Paint — and How
- Start with the big offenders: bright colors, deep tones, or sponge/textured finishes
- Pick light neutrals: warm whites, soft greige, or light taupe work almost anywhere
- Don’t forget trim: clean white baseboards and doors help rooms pop
- One gallon goes a long way: even a fresh coat in the same color makes a difference
Think: blank canvas buyers can mentally move into — today.
👉 One Action to Take Today:
Pick the most boldly painted room in your house.
Now search “greige paint” on Pinterest.
That’s the vibe. Go buy a gallon.
