BY MEGAN LLOYD, BALLARAT PROPERTY STYLING<\/strong><\/p>\n

Winter is often a busy time\u00a0<\/strong>for people preparing their\u00a0<\/strong>properties to list on the market\u00a0<\/strong>in the spring sale period.<\/strong><\/p>\n

ALTHOUGH it is not the season to be doing full scale external painting, it is worth considering whether you need to update your colour scheme. Did I just hear you groan at the thought of the expense of paying a painter? Don\u2019t worry, if the cost seems too daunting, it is worth considering just changing the trim colours.<\/p>\n

Whether you have a period home or a contemporary one, a change of trim colour can be a good update on the look and can really make a difference to your curb-side appeal.<\/p>\n

If you need advice, there are several avenues. Firstly, take several photos of the exterior of your property, including one showing the roof colour.<\/p>\n

Haymes Paints, in Scott Parade Ballarat, offer a colour consultancy. I like to go to Hammonds Paints in Skipton St Ballarat. They stock the Resene paint range. Resene have a great range of modern colour ideas. Hammonds can also offer a colour consultancy.<\/p>\n

There are also several interior designers, in Ballarat, who offer colour consultancy advice. A Google search will find them.<\/p>\n

Internally, a neutral colour scheme is always easier for a prospective buyer to comprehend. Look at the range of neutral colours available. Buying a sample pot and doing a brush out is always a good idea. If you don\u2019t want to put paint on the property, paint a large sample area onto a thick piece of cardboard and look at it in different lights.<\/p>\n

If you are wanting to paint an internal feature wall, keep in mind that the proportions of the wall will be highlighted if painted in a darker colour than the adjacent walls.<\/p>\n

This in turn may need you to balance the wall size out with appropriately placed furniture.<\/p>\n
