Why Neutral Decor Wins in Home Selling

In order to achieve top dollar at sale time your home should be presented to an immaculate standard.

The good news is that this does not necessarily need to involve a lot of expense.

It’s amazing how a program of spring cleaning and paint touch-up, both inside and out, can transform things and actually pay huge dividends.

That being said, it matters greatly that you have a color scheme that isn’t, shall we say, individual.

So if your color schemes are a bit “out there”, consider changing them before you list to more neutral options with, maybe, calming soft hues. Adherence to slightly eccentric colors risks losing the buyer at a very early viewing stage.

You may also have kitchen cabinets that are looking a little worse for wear. A great and cost effective solution is to paint them, again making a neutral choice.

It’s also a good idea to temporarily store as much furniture as possible that simply won’t work with neutral colors. While you might think that will make your rooms look a bit empty, it will actually make them appear more spacious and less “you” to the serious buyer.

Above all, the key objective should be to neutralize and ensure your home decor choices stand a very good chance of appealing to the widest possible audience.
