Choosing the right paint colors for listing your home is an essential part of creating a space that is both inviting and neutral - as well as providing a backdrop so that buyers can imagine their own things there. When putting your home on the market, your online presence is paramount to attracting the broadest audience of buyers. Photographing spaces that are free from bold colors and personalized wallpaper is key. When sellers work with me to prepare their home for the market, we will collaborate to enhance the best features of your home, the character of the spaces and the qualities that buyers are attracted to. 

Considering the Impact of Paint Finishes

The finish of your paint can significantly affect the overall look and feel of a room. Matte and eggshell finishes work well for walls, offering a soft, understated look that hides imperfections. Satin and semi-gloss finishes are ideal for trim and moldings, providing a subtle sheen that highlights architectural details. Flat paint usually works best on ceilings. Understanding the impact of different finishes can help you achieve the desired aesthetic for each room. Contrasting trim is not always the perfect choice; sometimes, matching trim, wall and ceiling color can create a very soothing aesthetic.  It’s called “color drenching” and can be the perfect choice for the right space.  Ask Carrie if this technique is right for your space
