The number one paint colour to make your property 'sell' is 'clean, current and fresh'  - 'it will uplift the whole place'

The property expert said: "Of course, everybody knows that neutral colours sell. Even if all your rooms are different colours - for example, if your daughter wanted a pink bedroom - if you're trying to sell your home, it's a great idea to either paint the house all the same colour or choose different tones of neutrals."

For those trying to revamp their homes on a budget, Nouné explained that painting your home all one colour will save you money.

As for what colour to use, the expert recommended a sophisticated yet subtle grey. She said: "It used to be that beige was the best colour for that, but in the recent 10-plus years the greys have been very popular."

She advised going for a "greige" colour (beige and grey) or a "modern" off-white.

Going for a colour that is neutral and not garish will allow potential buyers to envision themselves in the space.

Grey is also a great base for adding pops of colour. For example, red cushions and red wall art look chic against a grey backdrop.

She added: "A fresh, natural paint colour will brighten, lighten and uplift the whole place, making it look clean, current and fresh."

Homeowners opting for a warm grey colour were advised to steer clear of pairing it with beige and brown trims and accessories. Instead, go for colours such as turquoise, blue and burgundy.

Britons looking to increase the value of their property before selling can try a variety of clever hacks.

Paint and décor experts shared how homeowners can increase their property's value with a paint hack that "makes your home stand out from the crowd".

They said: "You could start by painting your front door, a quick way to inject some vibrant colour into a tired-looking facade."

Another paint expert warned Britons to avoid a "monotonous" shade if they want to put themselves in a "profitable position".
