Fantastic Color Trends for Residential & Commercial Buildings

Colors are undoubtedly the most influential factor when it comes to purchase a residential or commercial building. It is the color that creates the mood, feeling and desire. Studies have found that colors play a huge part to add aesthetic value to a building. In many cases buyers make a purchasing decision solely because of the appearance of the building and the location comes second.
According to the property experts, there is a growing consciousness noted among the people about the color of the place they are living. Along with the interior color of their house the exterior color also playing a crucial role in shaping their decision.



A Sydney-based property developer shared a funny incident regarding the color of a building where one of his clients simply refused to buy a residential apartment because its color was blue. On asking the reason the client said he is an avid Manchester United (a football club in England) fan and the color of their jersey is red while their main rival Chelsea F.C jersey color is blue. And he can’t live in an apartment that color is blue. The incident may seem funny, but it has enormous significance in terms of judging the factors that influence the purchasing decision of the people by solely judging a property by its color.
