BTW, your Fenton pink coin vase is sweet…brings back memories of my mother and grandmother.

That looks like a very nice Oriental rug. I have seen them used effectively in modern designs, with off white walls and spare furniture.

Are you in a retirement community? Unless your potential buyers are in their seventies, you may want to remove the china sideboard before you list. It adds to the “grandma” feel of your home.

I would repaint in a neutral color, probably off white. While repainting is possible, buyers look at it as either a project or an expense, neither of which interests them.

Good for you on planning ahead like this. So many people leave it to the last minute and that is much more difficult.

A photo of the flooring with a piece of white paper for camera color balance would be helpful. Open the curtains and turn on the lights for new photos.

That is a beautiful rug!!

BM Manchester Tan is a good all around neutral. It has a very slight green undertone but is one of the most really neutral paint colors. A shade lighter is BM Feather Down. It still reads closer to beige than gray but is more of a greige mix.

I have both these colors in my home. Not affiliated, but Maria Killam has good info. on paint colors.

Whatever you go with, I would not pick gray.

BM Feather Down

I know paint depends on lighting etc. and colors can appear different on monitors but on mine, these two photos are good representations of the colors.

Looks like your couches have a pink undertone. If you wanted a lighter neutral with that same undertone good ones are:

BM Muslin (similar to Manchester Tan but with slight pink undertone.)

SW Patience

BM Maritime White

The only undertone I’d stay away from pink undertones couches is yellow/gold or orange.

Thanks so much! This is actually my mom’s house; she’s using my account. I definitely need to help her a lot with staging when they sell. They will also change out those dated light fixtures soon too. I’ll see if I can get better pictures for her, but I think those color suggestions are really helpful. Hearing it from someone else if also helpful.

I also like the rug. when the time comes to put it on the market, I'd put everything in storage (or sell it if she doesn't want to keep it) and have it staged. As it is now, there is a lot of furniture. you want to give the appearance of light and airy, and cramming it w/older furniture won't help.

if your floors have a gray undertone, try Pale Oak and White dove (for trim work) It's a great combo

here's Pale Oak in these first 3 pics:

SW Crushed Ice on the walls. it's a nice, neutral gray
