5 Ways To Decorate with Colour On A Budget
Sometimes, selling a home is inevitable and most of the times this happens when the money is tight. Here’s 5 tips to decorate your home to sell when you’re on a tight budget.
1. Paint. Buy a contractor’s paint (yes, the big bucket from the home improvement store) and don’t skip on the primer especially when you are painting over a dark colour (red, black, green, navy blue… well, you get the picture). Although nowadays, you can buy a primer and paint combo, I still personally use a separate stain-blocking primer (my favourite is KILZ) if painting over a dark surface. If you’re painting over a neutral colour then a primer-paint combo will do. This will cut your painting time in half although you will pay a little extra for this specialty paint. The key to painting like a pro is in the preparation of the walls. Paint will only help increase the value of your home if it’s done properly. A sloppy painting is worse than leaving it as-is. Try to use a neutral colour, not necessarily white or beige, although those work nicely too. There’s a lot of sample swatch of paints you can get for free at your paint store. If you’re going for a warm tone BEHR’s Navajo white is a favourite. If you’re going for a cool tone, try a grey or greige shade like the BEHR’s Wheat Bread or Benjamin Moore’s Revere Pewter. Use an eggshell or satin sheen for living or dining room. There’s a paint to use specifically for kitchen or bathroom. Painting your home in one colour makes it bigger, cleaner and more harmonious to look at.
