Is it okay to paint every room beige when you’re staging your house?

Author: admin  |  Category: Staging a House

I’m painting and decorating my house, not specifically to sell, but with the thought in mind that we’re going to sell in a couple of years, so the house has to be decorated as we will stage it. I really don’t want to do much work when I’m trying to sell.

I found a color of beige (ralph lauren’s cottonwood) that I absolutely love and I just can’t find anything else that I love as much. I decided to paint the living room, basement, hall bathroom, hall, and master bedroom that color. I’m trying to decide on a color for the guest bedroom and I can’t find another color that I love as much. I would do a neutral color for the guest bedroom even if I didn’t do the beige. And I know that it’s good to go neutral when you’re selling, but the thing is, the living room, hallway, hallway bath, guest bedroom, and master bedroom are all right there together and you can stand in the hall and see them all from one spot. I did that on purpose because I didn’t want a different color in every room and it’s like the amazing technicolored house that doesn’t flow. but I’m worried that a buyer will come in and be like beige overload. What do you think, can you overdo it on beige when selling your house or should I break it up and paint the guest room a neutral sage or something?

It’s a pretty good idea to stay neutral, but make sure that the cottonwood color isn’t too dark and doesn’t date anything.

You might also want to consider putting it only in bright & sunny rooms and then using a lighter beige in darker area like hallways and even bedrooms. From what I can tell online, that color is similar to what I’m seeing in new homes right now, but it can be too dark or overbearing in rooms that don’t get enough sun. The thoroughbred line is very very very rish colors that can be overbearing.
It may also make the place a tiny bit boring without any variation. Maybe mix it up painting some darker rooms RL Deep Cream, and other rooms Garden Moss RL Number: ML14 , or Cowrie Shell RL Number: WW60 if you want to stay in true beiges.

    Yes it is okay. Neutral is definitely a plus. Buyers can picture their furnishings in the rooms

    I’ve moved many times, and have found it ill feeling when looking at homes that had all rooms in different colors.
    I think beige is the best color. Yellow the worst.

    I would rather see your house all beige than a mix of colors. That way, the beige is sort of in the background and the people see your house, not your color choices. Taking into the account the floor plan, go all beige. Save your color options for things that can be easily changed, curtains, linens, miscellaneous decor items.

    A neutral background is really the best for resale.
    In the meantime you can add your own punches of color with furniture, accent rugs, artwork and accessories.
    The trend of painting every room a different saturated color is about over anyway.
    Neutral is always in and buyers will be able to visualize their own belongings in the space much more easily.

    Good idea to paint all the same color. It gives continuity from one room to the other and makes the home seem larger. Different colors in each room make them feel like they belong to different houses. Carry a color palate throughout and you will have a smooth transition from one room to the other. Buyers will like it.
