Bold, bright colors may be trendy, but don’t go too wild if you are getting ready to sell your home. The home remodeling site Fixr.com surveyed home staging and design professionals to find what paint colors are the most off-putting to home buyers this year.
The results show that even though many colors or the year include pinks, reds and purples, buyers have a hard time looking past color schemes that are too bright… those colors are better used for accessories, artwork or accent pieces that don’t overwhelm the space.
