Flawless Foyer Wall Colors

Having a foyer or entryway that is pleasing to you is a very important part of home ownership. It is the first thing you see when you walk in your house, and that first point of contact can be extremely significant. When you get home after a long day, you want to feel comfortable and happy about the state of your home. Choosing the right color for your foyer walls can be difficult, as you want something exciting and welcoming, without being overpowering. Read on for color options that are suitable for your foyer.

Beautiful Blues

Blues are a favorite choice for foyer walls. Almost every shade of blue out there, no matter how different they may be, gives off an extremely crisp and cohesive feeling. Darker blues such as navy look amazing with black or very dark brown floors, and can be lightened up with white accents on the stairs or with decorative pieces. Lighter shades of blue pair perfectly with rich wood floors or paneling, as well as with a carpeted floor. Having blue walls keeps your foyer bright, bold, and inviting, while providing a canvas 

for any decorating motif.

Neutral Tones

Varying shades of tan and beige transform your foyer into an elegant entryway with an antique feel. These neutral tones are particularly suitable for homes that incorporate rustic charm. Lighting is important with tan and beige tones, so make sure that if there isn’t already an ample amount of natural light in your foyer that you add enough lighting. Chandeliers and wall sconces really amplify the sophisticated look that the wall colors will provide. 

 

  

Graceful Greens

When thinking of the ideal foyer color, green may not necessarily come to mind. However, choosing a green for your foyer walls gives off an amazing calming effect when entering your home. Lighter greens such as teal or sea foam green are better for entryways-anything too bright will be overwhelming. These toned down green colors look great with bright white trim, stairs, or decorations. For these shades, softer lighting is ideal as the colors will stand out more than with very bright lighting.
