Thinking about selling your home or just want to give it a fresh, modern vibe? One of the simplest, most cost-effective ways to add value is with a fresh coat of paint. But not just any color will do. The shades you choose can actually make or break a buyer’s first impression — and even affect your home’s resale price.
Neutral Doesn’t Mean Boring
When in doubt, go neutral. Soft, light tones like warm beige, greige (a blend of gray and beige), and classic taupe continue to reign supreme for their versatility. These colors make spaces feel clean, spacious, and move-in ready — exactly what potential buyers are looking for. Neutrals work especially well in living rooms, hallways, and open-concept spaces where you want the flow to feel seamless.
Light Blue for Bathrooms
Zillow data has shown that homes with light blue bathrooms often sell for significantly more than expected. The reason? Light blue evokes a sense of cleanliness and calm. It turns a bathroom into a spa-like retreat — something buyers love. Pair light blue walls with white tile, chrome fixtures, and soft lighting for maximum appeal.
A Bold Front Door Makes a Big Statement
Never underestimate the power of curb appeal. A bold front door color like navy blue, charcoal, or even a deep forest green can instantly elevate your exterior and set your home apart from the rest of the block. It’s a small project with a big payoff. Studies show homes with black or charcoal gray front doors often sell for more than similar homes with neutral-colored doors.
Earthy Greens Are on the Rise
Natural tones like sage, olive, and dusty green are trending right now — and for good reason. They’re soothing, stylish, and bring a sense of nature indoors. These shades are especially appealing in bedrooms and home offices, where calm and focus are key. Greens pair beautifully with wood tones, woven textures, and plants for an earthy, elevated look.
