Foyer color emergency!!!

10 years ago

Foyer color emergency!!! We have tried about 16 colors by now. Is the brown too dark for foyer and upstairs hallway? It is Valspar Hotel St Francis Fawn. The top yellow is Valspar Belle Grove Light Amber and below is BM Governor's Gold. The kitchen and the room in last picture are shades of green. Any advice is great. The floors are honey oak.

I think the brown is too dark and isn't quite the right color with the green chest, railing and carpet. I think a light, muted yellow would be nice.

Yes, I agree. Maybe the top yellow only a paler shade of it.

I would recommend light peach color, I have it in my foyer, it's very gentle and calming

Is there a pink tone in the carpeting up the stairs? If so, you need to be careful with the yellow tones, as yellow sometimes doesn't play nicely with pinks. A light beige with some pink undertones might be better.

no the carpet is tan no pink. The picture definitely does not represent the carpet well.
