unobtrusive.
Stick with gray, beige, tan, off-white, and white. Even if you just painted the master bath turquoise and added cute polka dot trim—change it! Remember, a blank canvas opens the imagination to endless possibilities. (Polka dots do not.)
KITCHEN AND BATH
Focus on these high-impact areas.
Buyers are most turned off by dirty, grungy bathrooms and kitchens. Let’s face it. Nobody wants to eat in a place they feel is nasty. Likewise, no one wants to be naked in a disgusting place. That doesn’t mean you can create stunning bathrooms and kitchens, while leaving the rest of the home a mess, and still expect to sell your house for top dollar. Just be sure to address your bathroom and kitchen first, and give these areas the attention they require. Keep this in mind: Potential buyers might forgive a less- than-stellar child’s room, but a questionable bathroom or kitchen could cost you a possible sale. So, let’s get started. Now, you’ve done a deep clean of the whole house, and you most likely painted it, as well—including the bathrooms and kitchen. It’s time to move on to another important issue: appliances.
