How to Use Color to Refresh Your Spaces

2 minute read

First impressions are everything and the paint color on your property is the very first thing future residents will see. Color has the power to capture their interest or make them cringe. Using color is an easy and fun way to refresh your space and make your property feel updated and welcoming.

It is common knowledge that colors affect us physiologically and emotionally. If you take this into consideration especially in the common areas, it can make your property more appealing. For example, you would not want to use a dark drab gray color in a fitness room. You would choose an energetic color that feels happy and bright like an orange or turquoise shade. 

Exteriors are a great place to freshen up with a new coat of paint and take mass appeal into consideration. We are seeing more and more trends of properties going warmer and lighter with pops of color. Even if your property has a neutral base just adding some new front door colors can make a world of difference to potential residents and can also be easily changed. Paper company GF Smith performed a global study with thousands of people worldwide voting for their ‘most-loved color’… the winner? A dark teal shade. Our 2023 Color of the Year, Vining Ivy, is the perfect color to add personality in your design, while remaining appealing to the masses.

By selecting the right colors, you can create spaces that feel personal and inspiring, leading to new potential residents!
