8 Foyer Color Examples
1. White Foyers
A white foyer will make a great impression on your guests. This neutral tone evokes cleanliness and there are plenty of ways to dress up a white design for your foyer. You can make white one of the main design elements of your foyer if you want a clean and modern look.
The key is to have different white textures for your design and to add some reflective surfaces to evoke cleanliness. You can create a very modern feel with some glossy white furniture with minimalist lines, some white paint with a satin finish for your walls and a large accent mirror to reflect light.
This modern white look would be a good way to brighten up a small foyer that doesn’t get much natural light.

Gray is one of the most popular tones for foyers. This is a popular wall color since neutral tones are easy to work with, and you can combine gray with any accent color you like to give your foyer more personality.
If you want to start with neutral tones to draw attention to other design elements, cloud, silver, or coin gray would be good choices. Think about painting your walls in one of these hues if you have white wooden panels or white furniture.
You can work with other shades like pewter, slate or lead gray if you have chosen a marine-theme for your foyer. These hues will work as darker accent colors if you have some blue in your foyer design.
You can also combine darker hues like charcoal or smoke with rich colors like wine red or emerald green if you want a foyer design that evokes luxury.
