7 Entrancing Entryway Colour Ideas

Your home’s entryway is much more than a room to put your outerwear. And yet, it’s one of those rooms we never put any real thought into when it comes to paint colour.

The entryway is the very first part of a home you walk into, with the potential to set the tone of your whole house. This is your chance to make a good first impression on all of your guests.

Don’t be stuck with an underwhelming, blank front room. Make a statement with the right entryway paint colour! Keep reading to get some inspiration with our paint colour ideas.

1) Dusty Pink

Dusty pink is a soft, airy shade of pink, sometimes with a beige undertone. This warm neutral is the perfect entryway paint colour for a lighter cozy vibe for your home.

• Innocence By Sherwin-Williams

• Charming Pink By Sherwin-Williams

• Pink Swirl By Benjamin Moore

• Dream Whip By Benjamin Moore

2) Bright White 

Everyone loves a fresh, bright white entryway. It’s a classic, timeless paint colour that never goes out of style. Since white creates visual space, this is more fitting to smaller rooms that need to feel a bit bigger! 

• Pure White By Sherwin-Williams

• Snowbound By Sherwin-Williams

• Chantilly Lace By Benjamin Moore

• Super White By Benjamin Moore

3) Turquoise

We love this jewel-inspired blue-green blend because it’s attractive without being aggressively bold, which is why it works so well as an entryway colour. It also accents natural woods, neutrals, and other natural tones extremely well. 

• Aqueduct By Sherwin-Williams

• Holiday Turquoise By Sherwin-Williams

• Tropicana Cabana By Benjamin Moore

• Mexicali Turquoise By Benjamin Moore

4) Sage Green

Sage is light shade of green that can create a cool, soothing atmosphere. It’s the perfect entryway colour idea for homes with lighter-toned woods and neutrals. 

• Clary Sage By Sherwin-Williams

• Softened Green By Sherwin Williams

• October Mist By Benjamin Moore

• Saybrook Sage By Benjamin Moore

5) Coral

Coral, among other shades of pink, is a mega trend this year. This pink-orange packs a punch, but it’s still warm and welcoming. It really is a great way to “wow” everyone who visits and would spice up all those neutrals, too.

• Ardent Coral By Sherwin-Williams

• Coral Bead By Sherwin-Williams

• Coral Reef By Benjamin Moore

• Fan Coral By Benjamin Moore

6) Mustard Yellow

One way to say “welcome to our happy home” is by painting your entryway in a vibrant yellow. But instead of hitting them in the face with an over-enthusiastic ray of sunshine, tone it down a little and go vintage with mustard yellow.  

• Cut The Mustard By Sherwin-Williams

• Golden Rule By Sherwin-Williams

• Dark Mustard By Benjamin Moore

• Venetian Gold By Benjamin Moore

7) Forest Green

It may sound counterproductive to paint your entryway a darker colour, like forest green. But accented by lighter natural colours, it can create a well-balanced natural palette that creates a calm, cozy feeling a home should. 

• Forest Wood By Sherwin-Williams

• Rock Garden By Sherwin Williams

• Forest Green By Benjamin Moore

• Boreal Forest By Benjamin Moore
