Painting your house THIS colour could add thousands of pounds to the value (and, no, it’s not white)
A study of more than 30,000 properties sold on Zillow’s US website found that various shades of blue helped to add value
A BIG kitchen, a spacious bathroom or open plan living often attracts buyers to a home – but the colour it is painted can also impact how much they’re willing to pay.
According to estate agent Zillow, adding the colour blue to either the inside or outside of your home can add thousands of pounds to the price.
A study of more than 30,000 properties sold on Zillow’s American website found that various shades of blue helped to add value.
A spokesperson said: “Homes with light pale blue to soft periwinkle blue bathrooms sold for £4,273 more than expected.
“While homes with blue kitchens sold for a £1,428 premium.”
Blue bedrooms, dining rooms and navy front doors were also found to add value, suggesting that buyers like the calming, classic feel the colour adds to the space.
A woman in Los Angeles recently transformed her home into a rainbow-themed paradise.
The technicolour décor includes bright lilac walls, a giant faux floral mural, lush green sofas and a pastel-hued kitchen.
