Every house has it’s good points, and color can bring them out.  Painting is one of the least expensive ways to Stage Your Home.  It’s not always necessary, but it can make a home look better than the competition.

Before you put your house on the market, consider paiting the interior.  When you Stage, each room should have a simple color scheme, and most importantly, the whole house should be cohesive.  Someone strolling from room to room, shouldn’t be startled by any of the colors.

If wall and carpet colors are intense or change from room to room, your house will seem smaller than it really is. 

If your walls are in bad shape or the paint is unappealing, repainting is a must.  If the wall color is okay, make sure to remove any marks from the walls.

Most paint companies now offer test samples.  What a great way to test out the new color for your walls!  Purchase a few samples and test them on the wall.  I like to paint some in the middle of the wall and then next to any moldings or woodwork.  Then pick a paint that looks best with the lighting in the room.

At www.betterhomesandgardens.com  you can actually go "color a room" on line……kind of fun!  And, for a small fee, you can go out to www.behr.com, download  a picture of your own room and test the color before you paint!
