When it comes to choosing a foyer or entry wall colors it all depends of
the size of your space and how open or closed it is. I am quite
conservative when it comes to a large and open two-story foyer. Your
entry is a transitional space with many cuts, such as doors, doorways,
and stairs. So, if you make it too dramatic all these broken lines will
show making your eyes tired. So I stick with neutrals or light colors.
But for a small, cozy entry you can be braver.
If your entry is large you do not want to overpower it with color.
Highlight architectural details of the house, display your art, personal
pictures, and collections. Do not overwhelm your foyer with color but
rather keep it quite simple.
