I was given this advice from a dear friend of mine…
Blues and light blues, particularly, are considered, “dangerous” colors. It’s quite a commitment. However, the more earthy you go with any color, the more you remove the “danger.” Dusty blues and greens allow the color to come through without screaming back the full intensity *glare* of the color. But it’s a delicate balance. Dusty colors are considered a bit dated in many cases. I tend to go with more timeless color palettes and use furniture and accents as pieces to make a more modern feel. It’s different for everyone.
Always take into account that some remodels or paint you decide to do may not be best for resale, but at the same time it is your home and therefore you should LIVE IN IT!!! I have friends that will tease me about how I am constantly viewing projects, upgrades, etc. as either a positive or negative when it comes to the resale value. My new neighbors even came over the other night to ask my opinion and various different choices they intend to make regarding their home~SO CUTE! I have also had several of my buyers contact me prior to closing to get my advice on replacing carpet with hardwood floors, painting accent walls, changing bathroom vanities, and so forth. It it truly an honor to have people trust my professional opinion so much!
Have a great day and feel free to call me if you have any questions regarding projects you are entertaining for your home. (801)-597-6446
