When choosing colors to sell a home it is important to:
- Appeal to the greatest number of buyers with neutral colors.
- Choose one light color in an open concept space or in one with sloped ceilings to make if feel spacious.
- Add a little color to rooms like bathrooms and bedrooms in lieu of white.
- Make sure built-in cabinetry color and finish is not dated or worn looking.
- Maintain consistency with the same color applied to baseboards, window casings, door casings, and crown molding (trim).
- Keep ceilings white in a flat sheen level.
My top color choices, all from Benjamin Moore, are:
For cabinetry and trim work: white just works. It is the most classic kitchen cabinet color. It gives the appearance of freshness and cleanliness. Ideal if the white is balanced—not too blue, not too cream.
