A Surprising Benefit of Painting Your Bathroom Blue
Here’s a riddle for you: how can painting blue also create green? We have always said that the right paint color can add real value to your home, but pinning that down in a tangible way isn’t exactly easy. A recent article from MarketWatch, however, offers a perfect example of the power of value-adding color. This article highlights a report from zillow.com (a major real estate website) that ran a paint color analysis, tracking closely how different colors impacted a home’s sale price. The conclusion is that homes with light blue bathrooms typically sell for $5400 more than expected. Interesting, isn’t it?Why Are Light Blue Bathrooms So Popular (and Valuable)?
- Light blue is considered a neutral, which means that it’s easy for prospective buyers to envision their belongings in place, and it likely will not clash with their sense of style or taste. A bright, offbeat bathroom, on the other hand, can be a little risky. Neutrals are much more inviting.
- Painting leaves one less thing for the new owner to have to do. Sure, they may want to modify the colors eventually, but repainting a freshly-painted neutral is not going to be anywhere near the top of their to-do list.
- Color psychology tells us that blue is calming. Most neutrals are, but blue in particular offers a relaxing, inviting vibe.
