Pink is the name of a an awesome singer, and a colour that has helped raise a lot money for breast cancer awareness, but it’s the worst paint choice that you can make for your home if you plan to sell it any time in the future.
I have heard grown men laugh out loud upon entering a pink room, and I have watched families come into an open house, stop in the pink foyer…and quickly sculk out again, with smirks and scrunched up faces, eyes looking down all the way, so I won’t speak to them.
In the eighties and nineties, aqua and pink paint was slathered everywhere... it was almost mandatory. And sometimes powder blues were tossed around with hints of Mint Green .... kinda like a Floridian Paint Smorgasborg.
If your home is still Pink ...it means you're in complete denial of time passing...and/or you truly don't get out enough.
I can hear parent’s starting to mutter as they read this having just finished painting their daughter’s room a lovely pastel pink. Yup, I did this one too. My daughter’s room when she was little was the worst chartreusy kinda pink you can imagine and I did sell that home, but it was the only room like that. The rest of my house was done in welcoming warm iphone era earth tones. So if your daughter’s room is pink, it’s fine, just don’t let it spread through the rest of the house.
A Buyer wants to walk into a place that looks like where they want to live, not where you still do. Make sure you have someone who understands the latest colour trends and will go through your home before you list to help you create a space that makes a visitor say "Wow.....these people need to get out cuz I need to live here" not..." Holy Crap...does Cindy Lauper live here?
“re-pinkify” your next home!
Next Time; Condo Or Freehold or..... shovel and save money, or sip
your cocoa in the warmth whilst other nice humans do the work.
