How Paint Colors Affect a Home’s Value

Bringing new color into the lives of homeowners across Lexington, Columbia, Irmo, and Chapin since 2017.

A fresh coat of paint can make a world of difference for your home, especially if you plan to sell it. In fact, according to HomeGain, exterior painting can increase a home’s value by $2,176. If you’re planning to paint the exterior or interior of your home, here’s what you should consider when choosing the right colors to boost your property value.

Exterior

The exterior of your home is the first thing prospective buyers see and use to form an opinion, so you need to choose the right color. Looking at current exterior paint trends is a good way to increase the value of your home, but you can also ask a painting company if they have any recommendations.

Kitchen

You might think white kitchens are the most widely desired among buyers, but that’s not necessarily the case nowadays. Light blues and gray-blues are becoming increasingly popular options for kitchens, and opting for one of these shades may help you increase the resale value of your home and attract more buyers.

Bathroom

White was also the traditional color for bathrooms in the past, but it’s no longer the conventional choice. Just like in the kitchen, blue is becoming one of the most popular bathroom colors. Your painting company can help you choose between different shades of blue to accent other parts of your home or bathroom.

Living Room

When it comes to your living room, you want to create a warm space. People should feel relaxed and welcomed in the living room, which is why earth tones have become a popular choice among homeowners. Earth tones give a subtle warmth to your living room; plus they do an excellent job of accenting rugs, drapes, and furniture.

Bedrooms

There are several popular colors for bedrooms, and the best option for you depends on the look you’re trying to create and the colors you’ve chosen for the rest of your house. Various shades of white are popular in bedrooms, but some people prefer light gray or a gentle green or blue. If you’re not sure which color to paint your bedroom, you can always ask your painting company what they would recommend.
