Here are a few paint & design ideas to energize your foyer painting project:

Color Blocking
Color blocking—where you pair up colors that are opposites on the color wheel to create a complementary duo—is a trend that creates dimension and surprise in an entryway. The idea of going all out with two or three colors and overlapping shapes is trending lately.

Paint Only One Section Of The Wall
To create depth and dimension, only paint one section of the wall in an accent, like the bottom half or bottom third, and keep the top section neutral. You can break things up further with hooks, shelving, or even wainscoting.

DIY Your Own Pattern
Give your entryway a fun graphic design by free-hand painting large brushstrokes throughout the entire wall. You can keep the base wall a neutral color and go bold with the brushstrokes. You can pick your favorite color combinations.

Put Down a Statement Rug
A luxurious area rug is an excellent choice for any foyer. It adds depth and dimension to the entryway. It is also
A great way to decorate because you can easily pick it up or change it out if you change your mind or want to use different colors in your foyer.

Display the Things You Love
Some people like to display the artwork, pottery, or fabrics they have found during their travels. Or they show off precious family heirlooms or other pieces of art. This is a great idea to show off the things you love and makes for interesting conversations.

Go For a Tropical Flair
A classic banana-leaf motif announces you’re in a warm-weather territory as soon as you set foot in the home. Or if you are in a cold weather area, it can keep you feeling like warmer weather is just around the corner.

Create a Gallery Wall in Your Foyer
A collection of black-and-white art can add a contemporary touch to muted pinks and grays or other soft colors in an entryway. This is a great way to show off your favorite family photos and set a mood for your home.

Show Off Some Shiplap
Using horizontal paneling to create a shaker-inspired entryway creates an ideal entryway or foyer that’s rustic but not too theme-ish. With the farmhouse look being so popular, this is a beautiful idea to really show off your ranch-style abode.

Add A Little Drama 
If you are not afraid of bold colors, you could paint your foyer or entryway with glossy lipstick red. If the rest of your home follows a bold theme, this is a great way to demonstrate your showmanship & eclectic style.

Mirror Mirror on an Entryway Wall
What can you add to a smaller foyer or entryway? Mirrors! Mirrors are historically a great way to make a space feel larger. They are possibly the second best option besides a window to make a space feel bigger. They reflect light and will open up your room immensely, especially if you have a smaller entryway lacking natural light.

These are just a few ideas but the possibilities are endless when you work with CertaPro Painters. Let your imagination run wild and then let us help you execute your vision. We love helping folks create spaces they love.
