Stroll through any store and you\u2019ll see a rainbow of products in colors specifically chosen to entice shoppers to buy. In fact, according to the Color Marketing Group, color can account for up to 85% of the reason<\/a> someone bought a specific product over another. Sure, the product inside matters, but it\u2019s the colorful packaging that first captures a buyer\u2019s interest.<\/p>\n

In real estate, your home\u2019s curb appeal is the \u201cpackaging\u201d and with a few colorful curb appeal flowers you can improve the color story it\u2019s telling and make the buyers fall in love with your house at first sight.<\/p>\n

Does Color Really Matter When Selling Real Estate?<\/h2>\n

Have you ever wondered why some products appeal to you more than others? Surprisingly, it\u2019s primarily due to the color of the packaging. Studies show that<\/p>\n

87% of our perception of a product<\/a> comes from color alone.<\/p>\n

Color is so important to selling a product that psychologists and scientists<\/a> have invested time and money in studying the psychology of color<\/a> to determine the consumer\u2019s emotional response to each hue.<\/p>\n

Ad designers also use basic color theory<\/a> to help them pair various colors when creating a complementary color story for their product or brand.<\/p>\n

\"color-design-theory-infographic<\/a>
<\/a> Source: (DesignMantic)<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Used together, color psychology and color theory can help you create a color story that both fits your neighborhood vibe and appeals to the types of buyers<\/a> in the market for a home like yours.<\/p>\n

Does all this mean you need to invest in repainting your home\u2019s whole exterior? Not necessarily.<\/p>\n

While the hue of your home\u2019s exterior plays a big role in its color story, it becomes a backdrop when you plant an attractive array of colorful flowers to draw the savvy home buyer\u2019s eye.<\/p>\n

Whether your home has cool blue siding, bright red brick or crisp, creamy stucco, flower beds or potted floral arrangements add a pop of color that immediately alters the emotional perception of your property.<\/p>\n

So let\u2019s take a look at which flower colors are the right choice to plant in front of your home\u2019s existing exterior hue.<\/p>\n

Cool, Calming Curb Appeal with White\u00a0 Flowers<\/h2>\n

Mood:<\/strong> There\u2019s a reason why white is the top choice for surrender flags and wedding gowns\u2014the crisp, clean purity of white creates an ambiance of peace, opportunity and new beginnings. The bright, light hue sends the message that your home is a blank canvas<\/a> awaiting the creativity of a new family which puts home buyers into a \u201cfresh start\u201d mentality.<\/p>\n

White flowers also create a sense of calm which makes them the perfect choice to appeal to the older buyers in 55+ communities. Its bright, lightness has an innocence as well, which means it works in family-friendly neighborhoods.<\/p>\n

Best With<\/strong>: Since white is a neutral hue, it works with almost any color exterior, except white or off-white homes like cream bricks or stucco. It pairs best to balance out dark or brightly colored homes, such as red brick or yellow siding.<\/p>\n

Just take care when planting white flowers against other neutrals like deep gray stone or black poured concrete. The bright, inviting blossoms may look cold and unfriendly against such a sterile backdrop.<\/p>\n

Exciting, Energetic Curb Appeal with Red Flowers<\/h2>\n

Mood:<\/strong> Some marketing experts advise clients to steer clear of red<\/a> because of it\u2019s association with clearance sales, warning signs and mistakes noted by the dreaded red pen. But when it comes to planting flowers outside your front door, red is definitely a color to embrace.<\/p>\n

Trustworthy, Stable Curb Appeal with Blue Flowers<\/h2>\n

Mood:<\/strong> Ever wonder why so many banks have blue in their logos? It\u2019s because the cool, calming color projects an aura of honesty and stability. Perhaps that\u2019s why blue is the most popular color<\/a> in countries around the world.<\/p>\n

The trust and confidence blue flowers exude will appeal to family-oriented home buyers looking for a safe place to raise their children. Its international appeal means it\u2019s a safe bet for homes in multi-ethnic neighborhoods. The only trick is finding truly blue flowers as many lean more toward the warmer, blue-violet end of blue’s color spectrum<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Best With: <\/strong>Like crisp white, blue is another option to tone down the impact or dark or ultra-vibrant home exteriors. For example, the coolness of blue enhances the rich warmth of brown homes, transforming it from muddy to chocolate.<\/p>\n

Warm, Youthful Curb Appeal with Yellow Flowers<\/h2>\n

Mood: <\/strong>If there were a competition for the most eye-catching color, yellow would take the top prize. Why? Because the vibrant hue literally excites the eyes<\/a> and is visible even to colorblind folks. Yellow exudes warmth and happiness (just ask all those smiley face emojis) and puts people in an optimistic frame of mind.<\/p>\n

Bright, cheery yellow flowers have a youthful energy, which makes them a great choice for home sellers looking to attract millennial buyers. Its sunny optimism also makes it an appealing color to attract young couples planning to start a family.<\/p>\n

Royal, Creative Curb Appeal with Purple Flowers<\/h2>\n

Mood:<\/strong> Once upon a time, purple was a color reserved for royalty<\/a> and this refined reputation has stuck with the color. Since it\u2019s derived by mixing red and blue together, purple has a duality in that it can act as either a warm or cool color depending on its backdrop.<\/p>\n

With its association to wealth and elegance, deep purple flowers are ideal for appealing to high dollar buyers to luxury homes in upscale neighborhoods. Purple is also the go-to color for signifying magic, mystery and whimsy, so planting violet-hued blooms will attract the right buyers to unique homes in eclectic neighborhoods.<\/p>\n

Best With:<\/strong> With its unique duality in color temperature, purple flowers add a softening warmth to dark or stark exteriors while still complementing their coolness. Purple blooms pop against white stucco, black poured concrete and sunny yellow siding, but may get lost against brown or darker blue homes.<\/p>\n

Flower and Curb Appeal Considerations Beyond Color<\/h2>\n

While color needs to play a major role when choosing flowers that can help sell your home it\u2019s not the only factor you need to consider. The last thing you want is to plant finicky flowers that will die before your home is sold so be sure to consult your local landscaper or nursery to find flowers that will flourish in your climate.<\/p>\n

Since all plants have different sun and drainage needs, it\u2019s a good idea to take morning, midday and late afternoon photos of your intended flowerbeds to show your gardening expert.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll also want to ask them about which flowers are the most hearty, low-maintenance and fast-growing. That way your flowers will lose that \u201cjust planted\u201d look more quickly and will continue to flower throughout your home sale.<\/p>\n

Even if you\u2019re listing in a hot seller’s market<\/a>, your home won\u2019t sell if your front yard isn\u2019t on point. Luckily, color theory, color psychology and the right hue of vibrant flowers to complement your home\u2019s exterior color will help you \u201cpackage\u201d your home\u2019s curb appeal like an advertising pro.<\/p>\n
