Buying a House - should I paint the yellow interior, or leave it?

S S
7 år sedan


The house is basically a flip so the paint is new. Yellow was not top of mind for me and I had no doubt I was going to change it, but my mom likes the yellow color.


What is the consensus?

    Congratulations on your new home.

    When you are moving into a new home you need to list your priorities.

    • Do you have many more expenses with limited funds? (If paint is in good condition, you don't hate it & you have other large expenses, wait to paint)
    • Do you have furniture that coordinates with the yellow? (if not, wait until you select your furnishings then paint the best color to suit the new decor...Pick paint color LAST)
    • Can you tolerate the yellow for a while? If you hate it, the answer is to paint it.
    • It only matters what you and fellow owners like. My advice is to listen to opinions (everyone has one) but don't ask for them...it causes second guessing and stress.

    Good luck & happiness in your new home.

    Wishing you a brightly colored day,

      Might get more advice in the Home Decorating forum .

      My preference...it looks nice, but I'm not a big fan of yellow on walls. But I might live with it for a few months before deciding.

      Good luck !

      Who is in charge, you or your mom?

      My mom likes a yellow kitchen. My kitchen is red. :P

      Paint it whatever color the person that will be living there likes.

      Personally, for me, I don't care for yellow. Maybe for a sunroof it would be ok with lots of plants, but I don't find it a relaxing color to have in most of the house.

      My friend who ran a child care center claimed that yellow walls make babies cry. Fact or fiction, I don't know - but I never wanted to take a chance!

      My house is mostly yellow, so it seems that I like yellow. That shade of yellow I don't especially care for: it is rather too strong. But, muted yellows that are approaching a tan shade (like that seems to almost be on my monitor) can be a great backdrop for other furnishings -- if the colors are compatible.

      If Mom is to live there then let her choose.

      I bought a condo with all yellow walls. That's was the first thing to go.

      I like yellow in theory, but have not found any that look good on my walls - they always have this greenish gray tinge that reminds me of that sickly yellow-green light the sky gets when there's a tornado coming. In other words, not pleasant!

      Id leave it though, unless you really know that you dont like it. Painting is a massively huge messy nitpicky job. For weeks after you see all these spots you missed and have to futz around with it some more - hate it!
