Neutral does not mean boring. The purpose of creating a neutral color pallet is to appeal to the widest range of buyer in Knoxville. There are ways to create interest using neutral colors. A great way to add interest without going overboard is with texture. Another trick for adding interest is using a tone-on-tone pattern. Consider using this technique on an accent wall to call attention to an architectural feature.
Another way paint can be used to help sell your Knoxville area home is by highlighting or minimizing certain features of the home. For example, paint wood trim a different color than the walls. The contrast of the color tones will call attention to the wood. This is especially important if you have crown molding, chair rails, or other architectural accents you want the buyer to notice.
Paint creates a mood. Cool colors are restful. Bright colors are stimulating. The professional real estate agents at Gables & Gates, REALTORS can guide you through the process of choosing buyer-friendly colors to improve your home’s marketability. Punches of color can be added to your home interior with fabrics and accessories. Designers recommend 60% of a room color should come from the wall color. 30% of the room color should come from cabinets and furniture. The final 10% can be punches of deeper accent colors brought into the room through fabrics and accessories.
