I am planning to update a single-family home for rental, and I have already decided on an eggshell white finish for the areas without wallpaper. However, I am wondering if it would be better to remove the existing wallpaper and repaint those sections as well to create a uniform look. I am particularly interested in suggestions for an ideal color when repainting the areas formerly covered by wallpaper. Any advice on whether this approach improves the appeal of the property for future tenants would be highly appreciated.
Based on my own renovation projects, a uniform paint across all walls definitely elevates the appearance of any rental property. Consolidating the entire space into a consistent color scheme, like the eggshell white finish you mentioned, increases visual appeal and may even boost tenant interest in the property. In projects where I removed old wallpaper, the entire process not only modernized the property but also made maintenance easier over time. While the initial cost may be higher, the long-term benefits in attracting quality tenants have been very rewarding.
