Saving money with a new house painting job

A nice fresh coat of paint can make a big difference when you are preparing your home for sale.


It will give potential buyers a great first impression and lets the buyer know that the house has been well looked after.


As well as making the home look more attractive to potential buyers, carefully chosen colours can help your home sell faster, and in many cases, for a better price!


When a buyer inspects your home they like to imagine their furniture coordinating with the paint colour in the rooms.


Selecting a neutral is considered the best choice when preparing your home, as it will appeal to the largest base possible.

Using paint colour to create a fresh and clean look is considered most important.


Therefore, the paint colours you choose can increase both the appeal and value of your home!


Let’s look at a few good options.

Soft Whites


A coat of white paint will portray a light and airy feel to most areas and can make a big impact on potential buyers when selling your home.



Fresh white walls allow a buyer to see how their furniture, artwork, and fabrics can blend into their potential new space.

Light Pastels


A way to introduce some colour into a room is to use a mid to light tone pastel.


If you choose carefully, you can define a room with a dash of drama without overpowering the space.


Try a soft muted pink or a silvery blue or green.



These can bring some personality to a room while being gentle enough to be warm and neutral.
