"But how important is it really to repaint your lovely pink bedroom to an austere white just to lure in potential buyers? Do you really need to get rid of your floral-wallpapered bathroom or deep blue bedroom just to entice someone who may, or may not buy your home? To get a sense of what paint colors are truly a problem for buyers, a handful of real estate agents and design experts have revealed what colors make buyers instantly walk away from a property."
""Just recently, we went through a charming house with a client who couldn't focus on anything because they were so distracted by the paint color and wallpaper choices," they added. "Pops of color, little splashes of cool wallpaper can be great but this was like the owner was telling us a loud story about themselves without even being there. ... Plus, the house was priced as 'designer done' so they'd be paying for all those choices and then having to spend money to change them.""
Bright, deep, and dark paint colors frequently repel potential home buyers and can make properties harder to sell. Intense hues such as purple, black, and neon green are particularly polarizing, with certain shades provoking strong negative reactions. Overly personalized color and wallpaper choices can distract buyers and create the impression that the buyer will inherit costly design changes. Small accents of color and tasteful wallpaper can be appealing, but expansive, bold color schemes often force buyers to mentally subtract the owner’s style. Repainting to neutral tones is commonly recommended to broaden buyer appeal and avoid lost interest.
