PaintHome DecoratingDesign Dilemma

I need help choosing a paint colour for the whole house.

We are preparing our parents home for sale. It will be largely empty wHen we sell it. It is a 1750 square foot back split, built in 1965. It has honey oak floors in good condition, and birch slab doors also in good condition. The whole house needs to be painted.

Can someone suggest a soothing, “modern” neutral colour that we could use to paint the entire house? There’s so many beiges and off whites out there that it’s hard to know what to pick.

    Talk to your agent to see if painting it a warm gray is appropriate. Often older houses look silly when painted in the latest trends but they look great when painted in a fresh classic off white that coordinates beautifully with their wood floors and doors. A good choice for golden oak floors is Benjamin Moore's Linen White, one of their current best selling whites. https://store.benjaminmoore.com/storefront/shop-by-color/best-selling-paint-colors/best-selling-whites/cndShopByColor-cbestSellingPaintColors-cbestSellingWhites-p1.html

      Check out Accessible Beige (Sherwin Williams), it’s one of those colors that goes with everything and every style.

      Here are a few and they are all Benjamin Moore. Have a look at Grey Owl. It is very soft and light and has a slight green color in it but is mainly a nice light grey. Also in the grey colors are Cement Grey and Stormy Monday. These are both warm greys so they look great and are easy to live with. Stormy Monday is darker so I would just use it on a few walls to add interest. In the beige tones you could try Abalone, Revere Pewter or Balboa Mist. What I always do is pick up the test cans which the paint store sells and buy some test cards. The test cards are 1 x 1 foot cards which are meant to paint each color on that you are looking at. You take the test cards to the house and see how the colors look in the different rooms. Good luck

      Hi Lisa,

      Consider the market that you are trying to appeal to. Is this area being bought up by empty nesters? Are young families gobbling it up for the education district? Actually format a buyer profile and cater you decisions to that. If it's an older market, I recommend staying away from grey undertone colours. These colours can appear more bleak and drab to oder eyes.

      Being as the home has honey oak floors, my go to recommendation for clients with similar floors is Benjamin Moore's Balboa Mist. It is modern, fresh and is neutral enough to go with everything.

      Will you be painting the trim? Benjamin Moore's Chantilly Lace is a trim favourite of mine. It has enough of a blue undertone to make the white pop and looks lovely when paired with Balboa Mist. (don't let the blue reference scare you, it's a trained eye thing)

      Good Luck & Happy Painting!

      BM White Down. I would not use any kind of gray. You might look at Edgecomb Gray which is actually closer to a muddy beige.
