A Closer Look at The Doors of Rockport Massachusetts
Rockport Is Adorable
The front door is the entryway into the home and is the first impression that is conveyed to both visitors and passersby. And, as the saying goes, you never get a second chance to make a first impression.
How much of an impact does the front door have on people? Well, Zillow reports that just by upgrading the paint job on your front door you can add thousands of dollars to your sale price!
But beyond, and perhaps more importantly than, resale value doors provide an opportunity for expression and creativity. They are a reflection of the local vibe, history, and regional and personal idiosyncrasies.
The color that you choose for your door can say a lot about you. According to psychologists, here is the connection between door color and personality traits:
Blue Door: You are calm and grounded. It indicates loyalty and empathy.
Yellow Door: You are confident and have a good sense of humor and are creative and optimistic.
White Door: You are peaceful, serene and organized. It conveys a sense of simple elegance.
Red Door: A red door has traditionally been a sign of welcome. It indicates that you are outgoing.
Black Door: A black door is strong symbol of power, order and control. It conveys a sense of dignity.
