When it comes to staging, painting and selling a home–do you consider colour psychology? Â According to a few articles I’ve read, colour can evoke specific feelings in a space. Â At VOH we’ve shot houses displaying every kind of colour –and I’ve wondered, what kind of impact do colours have on potential buyers? Â According to these sites, your use of colour can really work for you to bring the right kind of energy in a space, direct people’s eyes to selling features, and channel the appropriate mood to suit the use of the room. Â Even the colours people decide to use when designing a website, or for general marketing can also carry specific messages with them! Â Check out the links below to learn more about what specific colours are saying, and how to use them to your advantage!

Let us Know!
First of all, Happy New Year everyone! Early January has arrived (that Mayan calendar didn’t have us worried for a second, right?) and it’s that wonderful time to lay the foundation for those New Years resolutions. I’m sure at least a few of us have decided on one or two changes for the new year–but for those adamantly ‘anti-resolutioners’ we’ll simply call these resolutions ‘future goals’, or even more optimistically- ‘self-predictions’.
So, in the spirit of predictions, I did a little tour of the web and found a few 2013 predictions from experts in  different areas, as well as some useful links/tips to help us keep our new years goals this time around!
Do you have any resolutions or predictions for the new year? In culture, technology, marketing, or real estate? Share with us!
