Question
Hello, we are first time home owners in Las Vegas. While we are not looking to sell our house in the near future, we still want to decorate our home in a way that will make our house easy to sell when that time comes. We know this is not going to be our long-term home. I'm thinking about having cork flooring installed in all the main areas of the home. Would that turn potential buyers away? I also want to paint our living room a color that will really open up the space because we currently have white walls, standard brown carpet and very little lighting. It looks smaller than it really is. Any suggestions on paint colors that do a good job at this? I understand it's hard to say without seeing the room.
I don't think cork flooring will turn buyers away especially if it doesn't stand out in any way. In fact it might attract green buyers.
Looks like you can paint your room in questions in any color you like, just keep it neutral and light. My favorite neutral color is Shermin Williams Latte. Add color to the room with your accessories.
