House painting tips to improve your homes street value

Most homeowners will eventually update certain parts of the house in which they live. Over time, certain elements of the home can begin to wear down and show signs of ageing.

Renovations can not only improve your home life but can also add a significant amount of money to your property’s value. Some renovations can be costly and time-consuming, and can sometimes even reduce the value of your home if done incorrectly. If you are looking for a cheap renovation to add value to your home, consider painting your home. It’s an affordable and convenient way to give the place a new look without redesigning the entire home.

Below we have listed some of the most important tips to assist in your house painting endeavours.

Street appeal

Consider how the house looks from the street. What impression does the paint-job give to people who pass by? If your paint is visibly cracked, chipped or faded, the house can begin to look run down and unattractive. This can significantly impact the street value of your home. If you begin to notice any of these issues, it’s recommended that you re-paint before any of the damage worsens. Re-painting the entire exterior of your home can be a big task, so you may want to hire professional house painters on the Mornington Peninsula to get the job done for you. With years of experience in exterior painting in Mornington, our team of experts at SG Coatings can provide colour advice and work closely with you to create a beautiful exterior paint job that really increases the value of your home. If your paint looks dirty but is in fairly good condition, power washing can be a great way to remove any excess dirt and mildew that has built up on your walls over time.

Try new colours

New colours on both the interior and exterior walls can give your home a refreshingly modern look. Whilst white and cream colours are a safe option for interior walls, the use of beige, grey and navy blue colours can really bring your walls to life. Selecting neutral colours will allow potential buyers to imagine living in the home themselves, as most furniture will match these shades. Consider adding a feature wall that is painted with a bold colour to create a strong custom feel for the room. Use a colour that will complement the rest of the walls in the room. This will bring a beautiful modern style to your home which can help to improve its resale value.

Kitchen

Consider the colours of the kitchen walls. Many homeowners see the kitchen as one of the most important rooms in the house. If the paint doesn’t match the style of the kitchen or the home buyers tastes, you could be losing out on profit. Typically, kitchens that feature darker cabinets and light walls are the most appealing to home buyers. Consult a professional painter on the Mornington Peninsula for assistance with selecting paint colours that will really capture the attention of a potential buyer.

Bedrooms

Bedrooms should also be painted neutral tones to entice potential buyers. Whilst bolder colours may have suited your home, it does not necessarily mean that others will feel the same way. Greys, beiges and cream colours are some of the most prominently used colours in bedrooms today. Installing or painting trim is another great way to add value to your home due to the neat and stylish feel it can bring to a bedroom. Contact professional house painters on the Mornington Peninsula for any assistance with colour choices.

Bathrooms

Bathrooms are also important rooms to consider when repainting, as paint can become discoloured and broken down after years of everyday use. Paint can begin to peel in the bathroom after prolonged exposure to moisture in the air. Thankfully, a brand new paint job can turn your old bathroom into a new and exciting space. Ensure that the walls are primed correctly before applying paint in order to protect it from moisture damage in the future. Bathrooms are generally painted in white, cream, blue and other light colours to help create the feeling of a large and open space. However, darker colours such as greys and charcoal can be used in the right setting. Consider darker colours if your bathroom has white accents such as mirrors, vanities, bathtubs and skirting boards.

Painting your home is a guaranteed way to add some value and improve its visual appeal. Whilst a new paint job can entice buyers, it can be a very long and stressful process and could even devalue your home if not done correctly.
