ArticlesBest Color to Paint a Home for ResaleIn the past 5 years the Exterior and Interior colour trends have not changed much. Look around at any of the new developments or house improvements in your area and you will start to get an idea ofwhat the trend is. If you are in the marketnow or the next few years the colour trend will stay the same.By 'trend'I don't mean trendy as 'heretoday, gone tomorrow' I mean trendy in the sense of being 'most popular' at this time period. This too will change but not for a few years yet. Exterior and Interior Resale Paint Colour Trend Neutrals - Grey Tones - Mat Finish (semi-gloss fordoors and trim) I highly recommend that you check out these websites and take a look at some great choices on the web:They have some very fun and interactive choices for you to see what their colours will look like on the exterior or interior of your house. NB These colours will not be exact but will give you a very good idea of what your home could look like in neutral, softer, less stressful colours.Remember though since 'your home is for living in and your house for selling' do not get too attached to the colours. Keeping them neutral will appeal to more buyers and you can add colour by useful tasetful and colourful accessories such as art, cushions, area rugs, pottery, throws, etc. My favourite store to work with is Benjamin Moore because as an Interior Decorator/Redesign Stager they provide me with a very professional 'architectural kit' which has large colour samples to work with. However, you can buy or they will lend you their Designer Classics Collection and this is primarily what I use for choosing redesign staging paint colours. As mentioned in a previous newsletter I alwayscoordinatewith the flooring as that is what is staying. You can add colour with your accessories. My standard selection from the Designer Classics Collection is: BEIGE -Yellow Undertones(toned which means they all have grey added to them)
