MAURICIO BERGAMIN

O

ver the past year, I have heard from many wanting to brighten their living spaces, reduce the amount of “stuff ” in each room, and achieve a more streamlined look for their home. If you’re nodding your head in agreement, you might be ready to paint the THE STYLE SPECIALIST interior of your home, likely moving on from gray, pale yellow, or beige that have dominated decorating in the past 15 years or so. If you’re thinking white walls might be for you but are not sure where to begin, read on.

Picking a white paint color can be confusing at best. A trip to your local paint store or paint

by Christine S. Cowles department will provide dozens or possibly hundreds of white colors, depending on how many brands they carry. Finding the right shade of white to suit your taste while working well in your space is no easy task.

Understand Undertones

One of the most difficult aspects of picking a white paint is that most shades of white aren’t 100 percent pure white.

Undertones may seem like a subtle nuance, but they have a big impact on how paint looks in a room. Undertones can be pink, red, yellow, blue, gray, or … you get the idea.

Assess the Room Before running out to the paint store for swatches, assess the palette of the room. What are the colors of the floors?

What are the colors of the dominant pieces of furniture in the room? Are these colors cool, or are they warm?

Or — gasp! — are they both cool and warm?

If the primary features of your room are warm, you’ll generally want to select a white paint with warm undertones (think red/pink or yellow/orange). If they’re cool, consider cool-colored whites with undertones of blue, green, or gray. If the dominant features are both cool and

Ready to Brighten Your Space?

warm, I recommend starting with a warmer white to see if it works well in the space.

Size Up the Lighting

Something else to consider is how much light, both natural and artificial, you have in the room. White can be very reflective, so if you don’t have a lot of light, selecting a brighter white will help bounce light throughout the room and brighten the space.

Test Several Colors

Once you’ve decided whether you should be looking for a warm or cool white, head out to your favorite paint store to pick up some swatches. Bring home more swatches than you think you’ll need — two or three aren’t enough.

I say start with 15 or more.

Once home, tape your swatches to a piece of white foam core and move the board around your room or home throughout the day. As the lighting

changes in each room, you’ll see how the colors change as well.

Once you’ve narrowed it down to a few different whites (I suggest at least five or six), buy a small can or sample size of each color and paint large sections of your wall (two coats of paint). For best results, I recommend first painting with a primer so the existing wall color doesn’t impact how you see the white colors. Also, it’s best to leave some distance between the white paint test areas so one sample doesn’t affect how you view the others.

It may seem like a lot of work, and it is. But the satisfaction of transforming your house with the perfect white look will be yours to enjoy for the days and years ahead.

storied property set in one of Santa Barbara's most coveted zip codes, this opulent estate echoes with flourishes from Montecito's golden era of architecture. Impeccably constructed in 1885 and coined ''The Peppers'' by a college fraternity following a 1920's fete in the grand ballroom, this turn-of-the-century masterpiece retains period details throughout. Built during the boom of the 1890's when Montecito's tree-lined lanes were developed by scions of industry, the 10 bedroom, nine-bathroom estate evokes the era's Grand Palladian style. The onetime home of legendary Moody sisters, who were celebrated for designing a number of Montecito's "Moody Sisters Cottages" during their 30-year reign at the residence, the prominent sisters had Cota Lane renamed "Pepper Lane" to coincide with the villa's famed moniker.

☆☆☆☆☆ Sue and Kit went above and beyond helping us sell our home in Santa Barbara recently. They worked closely with us in order to maximize our final sale price with targeted repairs and updates -- which resulted in several offers over asking price. Would not hesitate to use this great team again.

Real Estate Q&A

If It Smells, It Won’t Sell Q: We are getting ready to sell our home. We have been

working with our Realtor and following her directions, putting a lot of time, energy, and money into the preparation. Now she tells us that our pets are causing the house to smell, and that we need to eliminate the pet odors. We’ve had two cats and two dogs for years, and no one has ever mentioned an odor. We believe she is being too picky and going overboard. Besides, right now, it’s a strong seller’s market. What difference does a possible pet smell make?

A: No one’s ever mentioned it? Then I will. Your house

reeks of Fido and Fluffy and that is not a selling point.

The fact that you are no longer aware of the stench is not surprising. You have grown acclimatized to the odor. The fact your friends don’t tell you speaks highly of your friends’ politeness. Yes, it is a seller’s market and your home will no doubt sell quickly. But how much money are you leaving on the table because people are turned off by the horrible odor? You are not paying your Realtor to be your friend; you are paying her to sell your home. She is telling you the truth. Your animal companions can cost you lots of money, in any market, when selling your home.

The odor of a home is a subtle yet important aspect of staging the home for sale. When there are neutral or — even better — pleasant smells in a home, visitors feel comfortable, calm, and receptive.

If a less-than-pleasant odor assaults a potential buyer’s sense of smell, they will run gasping for the door.

You don’t want buyers to walk into your beautiful home and have their noses yell, “Back out, back out!”

This can happen for any number of odiferous reasons. Let’s start with the worse.

The number-one offensive odor is cigarettes and tobacco. This is a difficult odor to remove. Smoke penetrates so deeply it even discolors the walls. The only way to remove

by Marsha Gray severe smoke odor is to take away all carpeting and drapes and have painters work their magic to eliminate the stink.

Next on the list of smells to avoid are pet odors, followed by dirty laundry, fried foods, rotting food, incense, and even the chemicals meant to cover up bad odors. Luckily, these aromas can be cleaned up without too much work.

Our basic reaction to smells is primordial and emotional. We experience the odor and react. Engaging smells can evoke a pleasant feeling of peace and nostalgia, but we’ll gag at a horrible stench. It’s only after that primordial reaction that we intellectually analyze the bad stink. “Oh, they have a kitty box, two furry dogs, rabbits, and a teenage boy! Get me out of here!”

Listen to your Realtor when she gives you the nasal appraisal and go the extra mile to make the staging of your home perfect. Your pocketbook will thank you.
