What colour to paint my flat before selling?

Ch1979 · 2016-03-05 21:49:55

My flat was built 2005 and can be a bit dark. I hate magnolia and currently have it in a dark beige which is cosy but makes it feel darker. I'm thinking that I'd like to paint the baseboards, ceiling and walls the same colour so would an off white look okay? Something like a jasmine white? Then do carpets a darker version…

Just paint it the same colour as it will be much less effort to refresh than to apply three coats of white.

You can't please everyone so why bother. Painting it white isn't going to perform miracles. Most people decorate their new houses at some point after they move in. It's like marking territory

Just cleaning everything, going behind sofas, beds etc can really improve the energy in a room and get the air moving.

Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.
