trymahjong Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I guess I'll be among the first to start a discussion: Everything you hear about decorating is all about "Neutrals" Most of the discussion includes the fact that neutrals are better when it comes time to sell your house. Is that the way it works? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
editor Posted June 19, 2013 Author Share Posted June 19, 2013 I guess I'll be among the first to start a discussion: Everything you hear about decorating is all about "Neutrals" Most of the discussion includes the fact that neutrals are better when it comes time to sell your house. Is that the way it works? It's something I heard a lot in Houston, but doesn't really apply outside of Texas. I think someone in Sugar Land (kingdom of the beige McMansion) came up with the idea and it turned into something of a regional urban legend. See also: The way so many people in Houston don't hang anything on their walls. In other parts of the country, the advice from the realtors is that the house should look livable and homey. Staging companies will often even paint the walls to match their fake furniture, but never beige. You want the house to look warm and welcoming, not the inside of a generic shoebox that you can't distinguish from the other six houses you saw today. If your house isn't memorable, it's forgettable.

KinkaidAlum Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Disagree with the editor. There's nothing regional or Texasy about going neutral and depersonalizing your house when it comes time to sell. It's pretty much the exact advice I received in Boston before I put my townhouse on the market. I also hear that tag line nightly on HGTV.

trymahjong Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 okay so all beige on everything that stays with the house when you move--- then you do color in furniture, rugs and art? Now about art--------Big art? using most of wall space or small art done in sets to take up wall space? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly Logan Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Hello Guys, First of all thanks for creating a place where we can discuss about the interior design. One year ago I was also in a great problem when I was looking for interior designer and a piling contractor for my construction work. At that time I consult to a piling contractors and I am fully satisfied with their work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
