While it’s hard to believe it, the price tag on a new home usually does not include the kind of cost saving that can be found in the paint budget. If you’re building a new home, you’ll want to think about how much you could save by changing your paint color in an effort to reduce your overall cost.
This is something we often hear from homeowners who have not yet built any homes, but we can see how it can be true. Paint has a huge impact on how you’ll feel about the home. If the color you chose is too warm, it might be too hard on the walls. If it looks too dark, it might be too cold. A bad choice of paint color can make your house feel like a prison.
With many new homes, the paint color is a bigger part of the overall room color than we would have guessed. But you can always make the color you want, just make sure it’ll work in the room you’re building. With that said, it is true that most people find colors that they like, and if you start with red or green, you will likely find a home you love.
