Current colors for rental property? (interior paint)

User
5 years ago

I have always used Navajo White for this, and never thought much of it. Now that one place is vacant, and looking at the place after going through my own remodel at my home, I can see it looks a bit yellowy and boring. I would like to change it to something new.


I was told by others--landlords--that greige or light gray is "in" for rentals right now, and colors like Beige and off white are out.


But I combed through my local rental ads online for ideas and I just see a lot of builder beige type colors in the rental ads, or tan--not many grays. Although sometimes it's hard to tell on the monitor.


The rental is being remodeled and it's going to have oak colored cabinets and beigeish porcelain tile for flooring, and a new laminate countertop.


I need something that works with the kitchen elements and the tenants furnishings.


Thanks.

    Since you don't know what the tenant's furnishings will look like, all you can do is create a cohesive envelope of a space for their stuff.

    Hopefully, the floor, counter top and cabinet colors harmonize.

    Next step is to use the floor to inform the wall color. In other words, you're going to find the wall color in the colorway of the floor.

    Beige or gray or whatever - you have to pull the wall color from the floor.
