Here are 4 painting tips to consider when rehabbing houses for sale in Chicago’s southside neighborhoods.
Utilize natural lighting
The modern interior design incorporates a lot of natural lighting with open floor plans, lots of windows and skylights. Using natural lighting is a way to make a room seem much larger than it actually is, and since many Chicago homes such as bungalows and worker’s cottages can be on the small side, opening up a handyman’s special is one way to help a rehabbed house feel more comfortable. Where incandescent lighting brings out warm tones, and fluorescent lighting is attractive with blue colors, natural lighting brings colors out more, providing deeper and bolder colors. So, those deep reds and blues are darker and can make rooms feel smaller.
Neutral colors appeal to buyers
With Chicago real estate for sale, it has been common knowledge for a long time that neutral colors in a house tend to sell better. This is because when someone is looking for a rehabbed property for sale strong bold hues are specific to certain buyers rather than all buyers. Remember, buyers will consider their current furniture, decor, and personal taste when it comes to buying a house. Neutral colors are easier to accommodate these considerations than bold colors.
Use a color wheel if using multiple colors
Rehabbers flipping houses for profit will often just stick to using neutral colors, but sometimes a house’s features can be highlighted with a bold splash of color that is more appealing than overwhelming. Chicago is a dynamic city with people from all over the world. Sometimes selling houses for sale in Chicago’s southside neighborhoods calls for a bit more color, though keep it minimal. A color wheel is a great tool when you want two or more colors in your southside house for sale to compliment each other.
Don’t forget finishes
When sticking to neutral colors, sometimes using the right finish can make a huge difference. Finishes of the paint provide different sheens to differentiate your color choice. For example, white on white is a popular color scheme in modern design. Separating wall and trim sheens, such as eggshell on walls and semi-gloss on trim is a good way of eliminating a boring single paint choice throughout your recently renovated home for sale.
