Living, Etc: 10 Best Colors for a Small Entryway

"Neutrals can be dramatic too and in their darker forms can work perfectly in a small entryway. They add warmth and depth, and if you take the color over every surface they can trick the eye into thinking the space is larger. This beautiful velvety truffle hue used by Stelly Selway proves just how interesting an all-neutral color scheme can be in a smaller room.

'This is an Austin, TX craftsman bungalow built in 1915 that is stilted off of a hill and nestled within the tree canopy. When renovating the house, we wanted to neutralize what had previously been a very loud interior space and calm things down,' explains Benjamin Stelly. 

'We were inspired by nomadic military camping gear, as it sits quietly within the natural landscape; we chose Behr's Light Truffle to complement both the natural world outside (foliage, sky blue, sunset pinks/oranges) as well as the raw materials (wood, earthen clay, Tuareg reed matting) that we were furnishing the interior with. As opposed to popular opinion, we tend to lean into more sumptuous and full-body color in smaller spaces and let shadow play an important role in sculpting our interiors.' adds Tanya Selway."
