f you have bought a home that you want to flip, it is important to make sure that it is as visually appealing as possible. The colors you choose for both the exterior and interior of the home can make a huge impact on how quickly the home sells. Use the guide below for a few tips to help make the customization of the home a bit easier.
Determine the Color Scheme You Want for the Exterior of the Home
The first thing you need to decide is what colors you want to use for the exterior of the home. If the house is located in a neighborhood that has a homeowner's association, contact them to find out if there are restrictions on the color scheme for the exterior of houses.
There are some HOAs that limit color options for the exteriors of the houses to ensure that no one chooses a wild color that could decrease the property value of the rest of the neighborhood.
Once you know what the restrictions are, if there are any, start considering the colors you feel would pair best on the house. You need to choose colors for not only the house itself, but also for the trim, shutters, and even the porch of the house. If there is a small concrete porch leading up to the house, you can choose to have it painted or stained as well.
Determine the Painting Options for Each Room in the Home
Next, you need to go through each room of the home and decide how you want the room to be painted. You can house to have a statement wall in one room that has a bold wallpaper on it or is painted a unique color. You could have the ceiling painted a different color than the rest of the room. You could even have the floor painted if you wanted it to be a specific color.
Considering how you want each room to be painted will allow you to narrow down the selection of paint that would be perfect for the different rooms because you will need to pair colors together properly if you choose to create accent walls, ceilings or floors.
Determine What Paint Colors You Want to Use
Once you have chosen how bold you want to be with the paint in the house, you need to choose the paints that you want to use. You need to be sure to buy enough of each color paint to cover the spaces that you need to cover. Paint is often sold by the gallon, and a gallon of paint can often cover approximately 350 square feet.
Take the time to take measurements before going to the paint store so that you can know exactly how much square footage you need each paint color to be able to cover. It is best to purchase too much paint than too little so that you do not have to go back to the store again and again for paint. Extra paint can always be used for touch-ups in the future.
