As the weather warms up, it is the perfect time of year to get rid of junk and things you don’t need as well as stage your home for better flow and use of the space. One of the quickest and cheapest ways to change the look of your room is by painting – either professionally or as a fun weekend project. Paint can completely transform a room and also gives it a fresh and cleaner look overall.

When thinking about paint colors, it is important to think what will bring the room together and offer a neutral palette for potential home buyers coming through your home. This does not mean everything has to be taupe and beige! Thinking about how the rooms in your home flow together and work as a whole is an important aspect of creating a great visual for buyers.
