5 Paint Colors That Make Your House Look More Expensive, According to Designers

Paint is one of the most practical and budget-friendly things you can do to keep your home updated.

What colors make a house look expensive? Designers say that if you pepper your home with these hues you'll get a high-end finish and a luxurious aesthetic.

1. DARK GREY

Dark and moody slate gray continues to trend, and for good reason. There are many different shades that can help you accomplish the “expensive” look you’re going for in a space.

2. LIGHT GREY

On the flip side, light gray is also a color that can make a room look more expensive. Though grays can be a predictable paint choice, they're a solid bet when looking to boost resale value.

3. CREAMY BEIGE

With a sandy temperament that’s not quite tan and not quite white, beige is one way to warm up a room and make it look expensive as well.

4. DARK GREEN

Dark green has become popular recently, spanning from shades of teal to forest green that’s reminiscent of pine trees. It also has an uncanny way of bringing up a space to make it look more expensive.

5. LIGHT GREEN

Sage, or light green, is another color that homeowners have been using more and more, adding a hint of color without being overpowering and leveling up interiors in the process.

6. CRISMON RED

While it may seem bold, a dark, crimson red actually has the ability to make a room look more expensive.
