Colors to avoid when staging a home

Color is a powerful component in home staging and home decorating or home redesigning. The purpose of home staging is to attract as many buyers as possible and that can be achieved by leveraging color as an asset.

But every person has a different perception of color. Others might love beige colored tones but others might simply ignore it. Here at Home Staging Pueblo Colorado, we know how to neutralize a home’s color palette. Once we have determined the color that will give a neutral view of the house, the next step that we will do is to accent it with other colors so that it provides character to it but not in a sense that it steals the focus on the home itself.
Below are the colors that should be avoided when staging a home.
 
Pink
Some of us love this color. But this color is much more leaning on the feminine side. Remember that here at Home Staging Pueblo Colorado, it is our job to make your home appealing and attractive to home buyers, regardless of what their gender is. While we do not dispute that this color is a wonderful color to be used for decorating or designing a home, it can also alienate potential buyers who can’t jive or they are simply distracted by it.
 
Purple
Like pink, this color also contemplates a feministic tone to some home buyers. But with the right decor that will be used to stage a home, its perception can be swung into a masculine direction. Once again, home stagers should be using neutral colors when staging a home so that we can catch buyer’s attention as much as possible.
 
Red
Undeniably, this is a powerful color to use in home staging. But other home buyers may be overwhelmed by it because it attracts so much attention. It is such an eye-catching color that it can possibly distract buyers from focusing on where they should be looking at… your home itself. Our home stagers will always look for the perfect color to be used to stage your home without detracting from it. If a home has this color already present and cannot be removed or replaced, then putting some red colored contemporary accessories should be okay just to accent it.
 
Neon shades
While this color portrays energy, this color is a turn-off to most buyers. This is because most home buyers are usually looking for a relaxing ambiance in a home rather than an energetic one.
 
Pastel colors
For home stagers, light colors will always be a fine choice. But colors that are too soft can only be appealing to specific buyers. Again, you would want the staged home to be appealing to home buyers and for them to compliment it without drawing so much attention to other things that buyers struggle to see the entire home itself.
