Painting your house is the ultimate way to transform your home. It's no surprise that many people enjoy being home when they paint the interior rooms. You can hire a painting company to help you fall in love with your house, create the illusion of more space, increase property value, and more. However, there are a few things to think about before you start choosing the colors for your home.

Property Value

Hiring a painting company to paint your home's interior is one of the easiest ways to increase property value. According to Opendoor, a real estate firm, interior painting results in a 107% ROI. Some colors further increase your ROI. For example, a powder blue bathroom drastically increases property value, according to Zillow. Neutral colors with warm undertones like beige and greige can also help you sell your house faster.

Spatial Illusion

The color you choose can create the illusion of more or less space. In general, lighter colors or more light create the illusion of a larger room. Dark colors with less natural light make a room appear smaller. Avoid painting small rooms with dark colors unless they have plenty of natural light, or they could feel claustrophobic. However, you can always paint rooms in light colors.

Painting Trends

Take the time to research painting trends to ensure your home doesn't look outdated. We've seen that stark white is out unless you use it for cabinets or a trim color. Warm colors are trending. For example, instead of gray, you could use greige, a color between gray and beige. Instead of white, opt for a soft beige. Off-white paint colors instantly create an elegant appeal. Earth tones like brown, tan, orange, green, and red continue to trend and go alongside the outdoor living trend.

Mood Considerations

Color palettes can create the mood you want a room to have. Bright, vibrant colors create an energetic feeling in a room, making them ideal for the living room. However, soft colors like baby blue and light pink are soothing, making them an excellent choice for a bedroom or bathroom. Dark colors can feel depressing, so only use them to create balance if you combine light and dark colors. Select your color palette before hiring a painting company.
