Paint Colors That Will Increase Your Property Value

It is important to note that fashions and interior design trends will change over time. Due to this fact, it may be helpful to stick to neutral, classic colors when painting your home to increase your home’s property value. However, the following paint colors are simply suggestions based on what tends to sell. A fresh coat of paint of any color will brighten up any space, especially if the walls have experienced wear and tear. To get the greatest return on your investment of paint, consider using one or more of the following colors.

Light Brown,Tan, And Beige

While this color may air on the dull side, a warm light brown color can greatly enhance an interior room. Not only does light brown mask any stains well, but it also gives a room a certain coziness. Really any color that falls into the warm neutral color category is a good bet. Tan, beige, light brown, gold, and gray are all great choices for making your rooms warm and inviting. The reason why this color palette increases property value is because it allows potential buyers to be able to envision themselves in the house, as the color of the walls match all sorts of different upholstery and furniture.

Blues

Another great color to use on the interior of your home is blue. Specifically, light and airy blues are fantastic for bathrooms and bedrooms. Blue is a calming color and helps homeowners and their families to feel relaxed and comfortable. Also, blue technically falls into the natural/neutral category, so it allows for people to be able to see themselves living on the property. Blue also offers a pop of color while also offering a natural and soft look. 

Cream

One of our last paint colors that will increase your property value is cream. Cream is a great alternative color to white. Although white is another great neutral color, it can sometimes be viewed as boring. Cream is a great choice because it is light like white, but it offers more interest for the eye. Cream also brings warmth to a room. Cream is also a great color to paint the exterior of a home.

Greens

Finally, green is a fantastic choice for painting interior walls. It also falls under the broad spectrum of neutral colors, allowing for potential buyers to see the home as their own. However, green is unique in that it gives a room a brightness and freshness that not all colors give. Green is a great choice for living rooms and kitchens. However, it is advisable to stick to the classic warm dark and light greens. Avoid greens that scream neon.

Recently Mauricio and his crew of three painted a beautiful brick home in Provo. The end result speaks for itself! The newly painted brick really brought new life to this home. Here at Rosewood we pride ourselves in getting projects completed as quickly and efficiently as possible. Even with a high degree of difficulty maneuvering the steep roof and replacing some of the siding we were able to get this job done in under two weeks.

If you’re considering painting over brick or stone we recommend you use a high quality product. We come across failing paint on masonry finishes all of the time because the paint used was a low quality product. Make sure to ask your painters about the product they are using so you don’t end up turning a low maintenance item into a constant headache. On this particular house we shipped Romabio paint in from Italy. Romabio is masonry specific paint with a 20 year warranty as long as it is applied correctly. Romabio Masonry offers a permanent flat finish with aggregate that creates a light texture on smooth brick and a smoother finish on rough brick. Romabio paint is a breathable coating that calcifies to the masonry surface allowing moisture to release.

Using the correct paint is only the first step. We believe in giving our customers the highest quality experience by doing the job right the first time. Paint will always fail to the weakest point which is why it is very important to make sure a low quality product is not used on your project.
