Make a Stunning First Impression with These Foyer Colors

First impressions are so important, and often so easy to neglect. Whether we’re trying to impress a prospective employer, a hot date, a new client, or even just a fun new friend, it’s important that you set forward your best foot and make an effort to be your best from the very beginning. In much the same way, your home offers your visitors a number of insights to your life and your personality–and the foyer is the perfect place to make your impression.

Since the foyer is often the first room your guests will see, that’s where they’ll formulate their opinions about the rest of your home. Therefore, you want the foyer to be exciting, inviting, and well put-together. Here are a few choices for the color of your foyer to keep them coming back for more:

• Tomato Red. Red is a very powerful color, and in fact it’s one of the first to be identified by the human brain. Thus, it’s the perfect way to grab people’s attention from the start. However, you don’t want to overdo it or your guests may find themselves uncomfortable. Try pairing bright red with deep chocolate browns and gold accents to help everyone feel a natural glow in the air.

• Deep Purple. Dark purple shades allude to mystery and the romantic allure of the night. Allowing your guests to enter into the heart of the mystery will give them the desire to explore the rest of your home and see how it opens up. Painting adjacent rooms in increasingly lighter shades of purple can give your home a natural flow and allow visitors to follow its progression.

• Bright Blue. Along the lines of robin’s egg blue and turquoise, a bright shade of blue should work wonders for opening and brightening a space. Psychologically speaking, blue has been shown to create feelings of happiness and contentment in viewers, helping you ensure that your gathering is off to a good start from the get-go. Try pairing a bright blue with simple black and white accessories for a clean elegance.

Your foyer probably isn’t used as frequently as the other rooms of your house are, but its presentation is so important that it’s a great idea to get experimental with your color choices.
