- The Color Black Projects Authority, Power, And Strength
The front door of a home can be an attention getting feature of a home’s exterior, beckoning potential buyers inside, or it can serve as a turn off.
A door is the focal point of a home, and a well maintained door can serve to welcome potential buyers inside. As buyers pause at the door while the lock box is being opened, they are forming an opinion of your home, and asking some questions.
Is the door well maintained? What is the condition of the paint? Is the hardware updated and clean? Does the doorbell work?
These first impressions serve as input to the buyers quick decision making process. According to some, a subliminal decision to buy or not to buy a home is made within the first eight seconds upon their arrival. You need to ensure that the precious time a potential buyer spends on your front stoop is a positive experience.
Color psychologists, yes there is such a job, suggest that the color of the front door can make a powerful statement about the home and/or the owner. Here’s what they say some different front door colors can mean, according to the Paint Quality Institute:
■ Blue: Conveys a place of refuge or retreat
■ Green: Projects health, tranquility, and harmony
■ Black: Projects authority, strength, and power
■ Red: Conveys passion, energy, and excitement
■ Brown: A natural look that can convey warmth, stability, and reliability
Make sure your entry door makes a positive first impression, because you only get one chance.
