Neutral Territory
Earth tones aren’t only the trend, but they are also psychologically comforting for homeowners and visitors. This is very important when putting a home on the market and having the entire house staged for sale. Interior designers use the colors based on color forecasts from the Color Marketing Group and what they see in popular magazines and catalogs such as Better Homes and Gardens or Pottery Barn. If you are selling your home consider hiring an interior redesigner or home staging professional to help select the colors that are most agreeable and appealing to the volumes of potential buyers. Not only do neutral colors bring a sense of warmth and comfort, they also bring in high offers when selling your home!

How true! It’s so important to make the home It is definitely worth every penny to hire a professional home stager when putting your house on the market, whether it be for a one hour consultation or the actual homes staging.

Thanks Donna. I couldn’t agree more! Color consultation is so affordable and can actually save homeowners time and money by preventing mistakes. I know so many people who have wasted effort and cash on painting projects just to hate the result. Hiring a pro really prevents that. A color consultation for an entire house can cost less than the paint itself.

Sharon,
Unfortunately, as a realtor, it’s my experience that sellers get so worried about their bottom line that they skimp on a few inexpensive things that could really impact the bottom line and ultimately put more money in their pocket.
