The comment didn't state that beige in of itself is a bad colour, but when it comes to selling the house, a neutral colours works best because presumably it gives prospective buyers the idea of starting with a blank slate and not inheriting someone else's design decisions.
- mhurron 10y ago> not inheriting someone else's design decisions. It takes a day to paint a room, your not inheriting anyones paint job unless you want to.
- wtetzner 10y agoIt doesn't matter, it still shapes the buyer's opinion of the place, even if it's only subconsciously. [edit] punctuation.
- SystemOut 10y agoThat's not really the point, though. Being in the market for a new house I can say that I really have to fight certain biases to look past a home that has hideous color choices (subjectively speaking). I tend to then find more faults in these houses. Houses that are relatively neutral are much easier for me to envision what I'd do with them differently and so I find myself picturing my family living there. As a seller I would want to maximize more of the latter obviously. Edit: I should also add that since we will be selling our house we recently painted the rooms that were "our colors" to more neutral ones to make it easier to sell.
