Even a "Neutral" Paint Color Can Be the Wrong Color.

Even a "Neutral" Paint Color Can Be the Wrong Color.

Frequently our Oakhurst and Fresno area company is called in to help clients with paint color selections. Sometimes it is for preparing a home for sale (Real Estate Staging) and sometimes it's for staging for living and interior decorating.

Many of our clients want to maintain a neutral color palettes in the living area of their homes and we've always promoted neutral colors for Real Estate Staging. However, sometimes colors that appear neutral are just wrong in a particular room.

The following photos are one example of a color consult where the clients didn't like the "neutral" color palette in their great room but they didn't know why. It didn't take long for me to see the problem. They had selected their neutral by grabbing a color from the saltillo tiles that are throughout their beautiful home.

Most saltillo tiles have variations of orange, yellow, beige and even some pinks. Unfortunately the color that they selected had red/pink undertones and that did not work in their home.

This home is filled with earth tone furnishings and decor...nothing that was even the least bit pinkish.

We selected a new neutral paint color with more yellow undertones that complimented the fireplace rock wall, the brown leather furnishings and honey-oak toned case goods.

Can you see the difference that the right neutral color makes? (Understand that the pink, in the before photo, was not so obvious in person as it is in the photograph.)

Our clients were thrilled with the new color. It warmed up this great room and made it feel more cohesive. Previously it just felt disjointed and wrong.

If you are looking for just the right color for your home, whether for selling or for dwelling, most professional home stagers have favorite neutrals that they can suggest and many have had color training so that they can help you with your decision.

We know that choosing the correct color for any space can be stressful and we can help take away that stress. Call a professional today to help save you with decision making, money and time.
