Designing a modern entryway & hallway

A modern entryway & hallway blends the modern look — ordered + open, glass, steel, walnut — with layouts and details that suit a entryway & hallway. Start with the palette, anchor the room around a focal point, then layer in texture and lighting.

Modern entryway & hallway palette

Modern color works as part of the composition: pale architectural planes, one warm wood, dark structural lines and a small graphic accent.

Color roles

Architectural white

The light plane for walls and ceilings; choose a neutral white that keeps edges crisp.

Walnut

A concentrated warmth layer for cabinetry, tables and long built-in elements.

Steel gray

Connects appliances, frames, hardware and concrete or terrazzo surfaces.

Charcoal

Defines window grids, lighting, furniture frames and architectural joints.

Vermilion

Use once in art, a chair or a small object to interrupt the neutral structure.
