The 15 Best Bathroom Colors According to Interior Designers

Whether you embrace the spa-like oasis vibe or opt for dramatic design, bathrooms are so full of decorating potential. Whatever your taste, experts say choosing the right shade of paint is key.

Best Paint Colors for Historic Houses

Color trends may come and go, but some paint palettes just seem to have staying power-perhaps because they're rooted in the past. Interior paint schemes grounded in period architecture can look as fresh now as they did in their heyday, especially when given a bit of a twist.

The One Paint Color That Can Increase the Value of Your Home by Thousands

You may want to bring this shade into every room of your home. It's common knowledge that, when you are planning to sell your home, it's worth making the effort to get your house looking neat, tidy and attractive. Even if this means spending a bit of money on redecorating touch-ups, it's worth it financially in the long run as it can dramatically increase the final sale price of your property.

Victoria Gimson, design director and founder of Decorum Interior Design, has shared her top tips for what we should focus on the most when preparing our home for sale. In her professional opinion, there is one color alone that can add thousands of dollars to its value.

That color is ivory.

Speaking to Mail Online, Gimson explained that ivory is timeless, classic and versatile. She believes that ivory walls have the power to make a home look more expensive, while at the same time provide a clean canvas for potential buyers.

Redecorating with this color can also speed up the sale of a house, she claims, as buyers see the property as well-maintained. They can also move in quicker because they have a neutral space and don't have to worry about immediate painting to cover the previous owner's personal tastes.
