sorry just an odd question here -

would a bright pink bedroom put someone off from buying my house or should i paint it cream?

thanks

Paint it cream.

[Bionic]

Unless a prospective buyer has a little girl who loves pink, otherwise I would paint it cream also

Didn't put me off - one pink room, one blue room, one turquoise room, one grey room, one yellow room.

Most changed, but still a few bits to do.

I think people are looking for somewhere to superimpose their own style, so anything glaringly individual is not good in a house for sale.  Plain walls allow prospective buyers to imagine their own furniture in place without having to redecorate first.  Although we did once sell a house with a putrescently green hallway and stairs...........

Once bought a flat which had a bathroom painted a dark turquoise green with white trees painted  all over it, took some covering up. I would definately go neutral

Every room in this house was garish and quite frankly, grim when we viewed it    we were able to see beyond the decor but I suppose ideally go for cream as it might not be everyone who see's a new home as somewhere to be putting their own stamp.
Ultimately though, I don't think one pink room would put anyone off of actually buying

My current house was painted mainly dark purple .... didn't stop me from buying .... but ...






CREAM    definitely

I only like white, anyway... The house I'm in now had a bright pink kitchen when I moved in - that was the first thing I changed! Absolutely horrible!

White (or cream, if you must) is easier to paint over  with the colour of their choice, anyway. I never understand why people use dark colours for their walls (it's a British thing, I know...) - it makes the rooms much darker and consequently costs more in artificial lighting. (Plus the paints are more expensive, too!)

Cream will also make the room look bigger, which will help sell the house. Even if the buyer ends up painting it a colour, the cream will mean they don't have to do it straight away. I would get the brush out. Good thing is cream and white paint aren't too pricy.

Definitely go neutral.  It makes rooms appear much lighter and bigger.  You can buy big pots of (dare I say it?) Magnolia emulsion for a very reasonable price at places like B&Q.  Good luck with the sale.

I'd go for the magnolia is it's to make it look good to sell. As others have said, it makes the room look bigger and is easier to visualise other colours. And you might have viewers who only have sons.

We moved into a rented flat with our then 15 year old son. I couldn't afford to redecorate and it was a temporary place anyway but he just couldn't live with the pink floral paper on his bedroom walls, so ripped it off and stuck newspaper over it. I couldn't live with the newspaper so ended up having to splash out for paint anyway. (He did it all in turquoise and black - Yuk!)

Cream! But, if you like pink, how about dulux rose-white? Its a pale pastel pink? White can look very cold and sterile sometimes (im a decorator), though it will make the room appear larger, and be easier to cut into the ceiling

thankyou, id better get painting again then. i have big pots from b&q.............
