A question we are often asked as one of the leading Arlington rental property management companies is, “What color should I paint my rental home?” A color that is trendy today will be outdated tomorrow. Some colors may seem great to you, but will your tenants like them? Is it a color that can be easily touched up or cleaned if something happens to the wall? Specialized wants you to feel confident with your color choice and we are here for you 24/7 should you have any questions about your rental.

Keep it Neutral

When choosing a color try to keep it neutral, not too dark or too light. You may love the look of a deep red “accent wall”, or a country blue kitchen, but it can turn away prospective tenants who don’t like those colors or styles. It is difficult for tenants to picture their stuff in the home if it is too personalized to your tastes when they first view it. Tan or off-white are great go-to colors to keep your home neutral yet inviting. Bright white may look nice and clean to you, but stark and clinical to your tenants. Look for tones that are warm and earthy to keep the space feeling welcoming.

Your property management, Arlington experts also suggest choosing a sheen that is durable and easy to clean for your tenants. This is especially true if the tenants have children or pets. You will need to repaint periodically, but picking the right sheen will help in between to keep the walls looking good.
