2024 Colour Trends
We tend to spend a lot of time indoors during the winter months and looking at the same walls over and over again can seem stagnant and stale, so why not add a splash of new colour to your walls to freshen things up? Softly saturated with a nuanced approach to contrast, the Benjamin Moore 2024 Colour Trends palette takes inspiration from the hues experienced through travels and moments.
The Colour of the year is Blue Nova CC-860, where violet and blue come together in this elevated, sumptuous hue.
If you Think You Will Be Selling Your Home
If you are planning to sell your home in the next year or two then you may want to stick to more neutral tones that allow potential buyers to envision their own furniture, artwork, etc. in the home. We would be happy to discuss what buyers are looking for and offer suggestions. Remember to paint the baseboards and trim around windows and doors white to allow the fresh paint colour on the walls to be highlighted.
Preparation is key, patching nail pops and any damage to walls prior to painting will make a difference. If you have attached shelving or TV mounts that you want to take with you, keep in mind you will have to remove them & patch & paint before the sale closes. If you’re not a great painter or don’t have the time then let a professional do the work, the outcome and time saved will be worth the dollars.
As experienced REALTORS® in Kanata and other surrounding communities in Ottawa, we have professional painter contacts in the community that we can share with you. Feel free to reach out if you would like some suggested painters or other trades.
