10 Colors to Help Sell Your Home

##White Exterior

You can’t go wrong with white. White is one of the safest, and most popular colours, to paint the exterior. According to one survey, nearly 40 percent of those questioned liked white. For one thing, white can make your house look larger

##Beige Exterior

Yes, beige is a safe, neutral, light colour to paint the exterior of a home. According to one survey, beige, along with tan and brown, is the second most popular exterior colour behind white

##Earth Tones

including shades of brown, green, blue, orange, and some reds and tans depict the colours in nature

##Neutral Colours

Neutral colours, such as creams, also make a home look smashing in online photographs, which is the first place people check when searching for a house to buy

##Gray

Gray shades have gained in popularity over the last few years as go-to choices for decorators wanting to add chic, urban sophistication to their rooms

##Orange and Red

If you’re going to use oranges and reds, then for the love of money, make sure the hues are soft and appealing. Oranges and reds work especially well in the kitchen, which is the feel-good room of the house.

##Blue

Some rooms of a house are reserved for reflection, quiet contemplation and rest. Every home has a bedroom, study or child’s room where the decor should create a cool, soothing environment

##Yellow

An all-white room, or one painted in a light beige or brown, may come off feeling cold and flat; those tones reflect plenty of natural light, but their lack of colour can create a feeling of emptiness. To remedy this problem, consider using a shade of yellow to bring a welcome level of warmth to the room.

##Brown

Brown, in its lightest shades, can provide subtle warmth and fix the problem of glare that often comes with an all-white room

##Green

Much like yellow, green in its lighter shades can bring a cheery, country cosiness to a room with white trim. Pairing a green accent wall and decor items with a room that’s mostly white can create a playful atmosphere that’s perfect for a children’s room.
