While that gorgeous shade of eggplant was perfect for you, potential buyers may find it a turn off. A fresh coat of paint in a neutral like white, sand or putty will help buyers see the possibilities in making your home their own. A semi-gloss paint will make the walls seem brighter; an eggshell finish can be used to hide minor imperfections, such as drywall dents or small plaster cracks.

    Renovating not only enhances the aesthetic beauty of your property but also maintains its quality. Plastering the ceiling and the walls is the best solution you can give to your home.
