Roslyn Ashford, a professional home-stager in Washington DC says to keep color on the walls when trying to sell your home.

Experts agree that a home sells better when it is staged.  When staging vacant homes, Ashford is frustrated to have to work with freshly painted white or off-white walls.

"Even though many of the staging and home selling television shows clearly demonstrate and showcase the positive use of color when selling home," says Ashford, "I rarely find color on the walls when I'm asked to stage vacant homes."

The colors, however, must be "acceptable" to buyers.  "Pick up the latest furniture retail catalogs to find what the accepted colors are. 

"In general, colors help to give every home life, even more than only using furniture and decorative accents." Says Ashford.   Your local home stager and real estate agent can help you select colors that work in your area.
