Choosing a color for your entryway is challenging. The good news is that your entryway color palette doesn’t have to be the same color as the rest of your home. However, that doesn’t help you choose a color. As you put together a design plan with your painting contractor, here are a few guidelines to help you create an attractive, welcoming entrance look for your home. 

If You Have a Big Entryway

If you have a large foyer or two-story entryway, you shouldn’t overwhelm the space with a dark or overly bright color. Instead, stick with lighter colors that will make the area feel light and airy. A lighter color will also help the architectural details of your foyer stand out, so you can highlight the artistry in your molding or staircase with a warm, earthy color like cream, bone, or classic gray. Fill in the large wall spaces with personal items and artwork. If you want simplicity and airiness, look for clear, almost stark whites and beiges.

If You Have a Small Entryway

If you have a small foyer, you can take a few risks and be bold, since patterns and bright colors won’t overwhelm the rest of the house. Accent walls and stripes often work in small entryways, so ask your painting contractor for design suggestions. Bold contrasting choices like black and white are also a fun way to show off bright personal possessions, like contemporary artwork. Or if you want cozy and warm, look at darker navy, burgundy, and greens. These colors are also fantastic if your foyer functions as a mudroom since they hide dirt better.
