Paint Colors for Entry Hallways

Pink

• Dramatic and bold, a pink entry hallway will leave a lasting impression. Finding a pink that suits your mood should be easy since you have many shades of pink from which to choose. Choose bright pink with black furnishings for a powerful punch of color. A pale shade of pink coordinates with light green for a whimsical mood. Use this color combination with white or black accent colors. Salmon walls with white furnishings give rooms a lift, creating an almost enchanting entryway. Combine these colors with gold accents for an inviting space. A medium shade of pink coordinates with brown and cream.

Gray

• Cool and neutral, gray is another color that gives you plenty of decorating freedom. Slate gray contrasts beautifully with shades of green and pink. Yellow brings warm energy to spaces, and this combination is inviting in an entryway. Light gray elevates and opens the space. Create a modern foyer by incorporating black furnishings with chrome fixtures.

Periwinkle

• With its cheerful appearance, periwinkle is an ideal color for your entryway. This bluish-violet shade is easy on the eyes, and with its red undertones it is warm and inviting. Play around with dark and light shades to find the shade that looks best in the area. Create a stunning palette with white furnishings and purple cushions, pillows and rugs. With pink, white and green paisley or plaid fabric, periwinkle is friendly and fun.

Beige

• Don't go thinking beige is a boring color for walls. If anything, it provides a calm backdrop for rooms with lots of action going on. You can pair beige with a host of colors from black to white. Decorate your light-tan entryway with plants for an energetic mood. Red upholstered chairs or stylish lampshades are a pleasing contrast with black accessories. Add a gold-framed mirror or candlesticks for a luxurious element.
