Color Psychology: Making Your Granada Hills Rental Property More Inviting

Choosing colors for your Granada Hills rental property can make a major difference when the time comes to rent it out. Different colors hold different types of associations, and there is no doubt that some colors feel more welcoming to prospective tenants than others. To create an appealing aesthetic that appeals to the majority, it is vital to consider and utilize the underlying psychology of color to your advantage.

According to color psychology, every tint and shade has a significant impact on your mind (and emotions). Different colors carry different associations and you can also perceive someone’s personality by way of their favorite color(s). For example, blue is often associated with feelings of calm and peacefulness, then red often signifies energy or sometimes danger. White, the most archetypal color handpicked for interior walls, is often associated with light, cleanliness, and even safety, while shades in the tan and brown family connote reliability and stability.

This is why industry experts often recommend using light, neutral tones for the interior of a rental property. Walls painted in beiges and light grays are very inviting alternatives to white and can match better with personal belongings and décor. But there is no need to always use one color only throughout the house. Some rooms may convey themselves to an appealing use of different shades of blue, green, yellow, or red.

Adding a blue or green accent wall to a living room could add a pop of color that can be relaxing, and not burdensome to replace if your tenants decide to change it. In the kitchen, warm colors are generally considered more appealing, with yellows and reds among the widely held preferred options. Avoid intense or bright shades of these colors as it could be interpreted as aggressive.

In both bathrooms and bedrooms, a widely adopted design approach involves employing neutral tones as a base and introducing color through accessories. While light or soft shades are typically favored, the color palette need not be restricted solely to beige. Variations of gray, blue, and purple can also be employed effectively in these spaces, depending on the specific hue’s intensity. For example, a bedroom adorned with soothing gray walls can harmonize beautifully with an adjoining bathroom featuring shades of purple, creating a sense of luxury and even romance in both spaces.

Unquestionably, clean white walls are still something to talk about. There are even tenants who prefer the “blank canvas” feeling of white, considered to be the most versatile color by far. By painting walls or rooms any other color, you may jeopardise turning away tenants with solid affections about a certain wall color. Having said that, a soft neutral-colored wall with contrasting trim in white can grant your Granada Hills rental property an upgraded feel for a relatively low price. Such color combinations are not only decorative and desirable but also strike a terrific balance between using color and helping your tenants to make the house feel like a home.
