Is it okay to paint every room beige when you're staging your house?
I'm painting and decorating my house, not specifically to sell, but with the thought in mind that we're going to sell in a couple of years, so the house has to be decorated as we will stage it. I really don't want to do much work when I'm trying to sell.
I found a color of beige (ralph lauren's cottonwood) that I absolutely love and I just can't find anything else that I love as much. I decided to paint the living room, basement, hall bathroom, hall, and master bedroom that color. I'm trying to decide on a color for the guest bedroom and I can't find another color that I love as much. I would do a neutral color for the guest bedroom even if I didn't do the beige. And I know that it's good to go neutral when you're selling, but the thing is, the living room, hallway, hallway bath, guest bedroom, and master bedroom are all right there together and you can stand in the hall and see them all from one spot. I did that on purpose because I didn't want a different color in every room and it's like the amazing technicolored house that doesn't flow. but I'm worried that a buyer will come in and be like beige overload. What do you think, can you overdo it on beige when selling your house or should I break it up and paint the guest room a neutral sage or something?

You should change it out even just a bit so it doesn’t look like a huge waiting room.
Pick a wall in the room to be a feature wall and do it in a color that is complementary to beige such as Burgundy or Chocolate. You don’t have to do it in every room but it breaks up the monotony and still looks classy, but not overstated, for showing.
i painted every room in my house including the bathrooms in Pavillion Beige by sherwin williams. i am keeping everything neutral. it is always best when thinking about selling.
Yes, I moved into a home with all rooms painted the same and I love it. Continuity is great. The carpets are also the same color. Lovely.
Consistent paint throughout a home is a very good idea when selling. You should not paint anything but cottonwood. Painting any accent walls or other "features" will only put off your buyers. Chances are they have their own ideas and they are not your ideas. At least if it is a consistent neutral a buyer can live with it.
P.S. I LOVE that color, I did my last house in it. Warm, beautiful and it goes with everything. It is a really good call.
