Curb Appeal Change to Better Showcase a $4.25M House for Sale in Greenwich

By
Home Stager with Birgit Anich Staging & Interiors, 203.807.4040

One of our many services is color consultation. The home seller of this house called us for a home staging consultation in Greenwich. While they decided to only virtually stage a couple of rooms of the property, we have consulted them on home improvements and updates to better showcase the home and make it move-in ready for buyers. The house, located directly on the water has now a much improved curb appeal, just by changing the exterior color. The aesthetics is now higher end.

The after pictures look nice.

Do note, however, that in some cultures (particularly Chinese) the color red for the front door is considered lucky.

What a nice place and a nice job.  The crab apple tree is beautiful, too.

Pacita, thank you for commenting. I LOVE Asian design and the color red for front doors. In fact I had another client change the front door color from dark green to red. See below.

For this particular house, however, the neighborhood is not Asian at all, so I was comfortable suggesting a different color that is particularly liked in this area.

red entrance door

Thank you Helen!

Debbie, yes this ia a very nice listing. It could not be any closer to the water. They refinished the hardwood floors - do you offer refinishing of floors? Would love to get together with you about your services offering.

Hi Birgit ~ How amazing the difference that the right paint color can make! The white color before seemed harsh, while the new color is much warmer.

Birgit, you are so right, just changing the color sells a house, we just had one in our office that sold after many months by changing the outside color. Amazing people still judge a book by it's cover.

David, thanks for checking in here. Yes, it is all about the first impression. Color is a big part of that.

I am a firm believer of colour consultations and curb appeal.  You just proved once again that the investment pays off and the difference is amazing.  Beautiful choices for all these properties.
