A fresh coat of paint on your walls not only looks good but can also help increase the overall value of your home. Investing in the upkeep and maintenance of your home can return to you tenfold when it comes time to list it on the market. Our team at Century Painting NC has experience adding value to spaces of all kinds and has some tips on how to use paint to increase the worth of your house or condo.
A fresh coat of exterior paint may be exactly what your home needs to attract new buyers as they drive or scroll by. Many homebuyers will be turned off by peeling or unevenly painted exterior so don’t let things start off on the wrong foot before they even step in the door. An updated paint job and potentially a new color scheme should allow you to increase your asking price as well.
House paint colors don’t have to be boring to look good. Many house painters now offer easy-to-customize themes that offer main, accent, bold, and neutral paint color options that can be used throughout your home, always tying together flawlessly. Consider working with a professional to ensure all of your paint colors work together without becoming overwhelming in any one particular area of your home.
Oftentimes when people go to sell their homes, they assume painting the whole interior white will give it a clean, fresh look. Unfortunately, this usually has the opposite effect and ends up making their home cold, harsh, and unwelcoming. When potential home buyers enter your home, you want them to instantly feel warm and welcomed. Create this environment with warm, neutral paint colors in a variety of tones throughout the interior.
Choosing your paint is more than just finding the perfect color, but also involves choosing the ideal type of paint for your space. Paint comes in a variety of finishes, including eggshell, semi-gloss, gloss, and matte. Different types of paint require different levels of maintenance and may work better for certain rooms so discuss your needs with a paint professional to find the perfect option.
Accent walls and unique painting effects are examples of how adding paint to a small area can have a large impact on your space. Ask your painter to paint your trim the same color as your walls to give the illusion of a larger room. If you have a limited budget and can only paint certain rooms, choose the bathroom, kitchen, or entryway as these areas often get the most attention and usage.
Choosing the right paint color and getting the job done right can be challenging for new and experienced homeowners alike. If you are looking to give your home a refresh, whether you’re looking to sell or just want to enjoy a new look, contact us today at Century Painting NC to set up a consultation.
