Why Red

Red is a very versatile color that can set a traditional, romantic, or modern tone for your foyer. A few red accents will make a neutral entry more lively and choosing red flooring or red walls will make the entire room warmer. This isn’t a common color for entries since only 0.98% choose red for their foyer wall colors, which makes red a good choice if you want a home that stands out.

Red Front Door And Other Accents

Besides making your home easy to find, a red door is going to add charm and character to your entry. A red door will create an interesting contrast if you have a gray or beige home. Painting the inside of your front door will add a splash of color to your entry, and you can create an interesting effect by adding more red accents. Let your red front door become the main point of focus and choose smaller accents, such as some wall art, a vase, or some cushions on a bench.

Red Vinyl Or Ceramic Flooring

Red flooring is not a common option for entries. Only 1.18% of people have a red floor in their foyer. Red vinyl allows you to make your foyer look a lot more modern and colorful. This can be a good look if you want to create a retro or vintage entry. Ceramic tiles are another option to consider if you want a traditional or rustic look for your foyer.

Create A Luxurious Look With Wine Red

Wine red is a shade that will instantly evoke luxury when used properly. Take a look at red foyer design ideas to see how people are creating a luxurious look with this hue. You can easily combine it with white, beige, gray, and other neutral tones to evoke luxury. You could combine these colors with some wooden wall panels in a neutral tone and some wine red paint for the top portion of your walls.

Create A Modern Minimalistic Look With Rose Red

Rose red accents look very modern when combined with a white design. If you have a white foyer, add some rose red furniture. A couple of accent chairs, some wall art and maybe a colorful shoe rack could create a very modern look. Make sure you choose items with minimalistic lines and solid color blocks if you are looking for a modern effect in your red foyer.
