If your entryway feels more like an afterthought than a warm welcome, then this post is for you. These 3 Transitional entryway mood boards are full of paint colors, furniture, and accessories you can steal to create a space that sets the tone for your whole home. These mood boards prove that a few well chosen elements are all you need to create a comfortable, stylish, and welcoming home.
1. The Warm + Affordable Entryway
This look is all about softness and light. I paired Benjamin Moore White Dove on the walls with a rich, earthy rug to ground the space. The incredibly affordable console table has clean lines and a natural wood tone that adds warmth. I layered in a budget conscious matte black mirror (because a mirror in the entry is always a yes), simple ceramic lamps, and woven baskets for catching shoes or library books.
Steal This Look:
Paint Color: BM White Dove (OC-17)
Console Table: Medium wood tones with clean lines
Rug: Terracotta, olive and beige vintage-style runner
Mirror: Black metal oval mirror
Accessories: White ceramic table lamp, vintage style art, woven basket
This is the kind of entry that feels calming and curated at the same time. It works especially well in open concept homes where the entry flows into the main living area.

2. The Collected + Moody Entryway
This one might be my favorite (shocker, I know). It’s a little moodier, a little more dramatic, but still feels welcoming. I used Benjamin Moore Natural Cream on the walls, a perfect warm griege that works with both cool and warm tones. Then I brought in a darker wood console, an antique-style rug, and aged brass accents. The artwork leans classic: a moody landscape, and floral still life, stacked casually above the table for a collected look.
Steal This Look:
Paint Color: BM Natural Cream (OC-14)
Console Table: Dark wood with clean lines
Rug: Brick red, black and charcoal vintage-look runner
Artwork: Vintage framed landscape and floral prints
Accessories: Brass lamp, catch-all bowl, basket for storage
This look is perfect if you want your home to feel timeless from the moment you walk in the door.

3. The Natural + Neutral Entryway
This palette is for those drawn to quiet neutrals, and want some moodiness in their light color palette. The paint color is Benjamin Moore Pale Oak, a light, muted greige that adds just a hint of neutral color. I chose a console table in an oak wood tone with lots of storage. I also layered a jute runner and added a woven basket beneath to make the space both beautiful and useful. The styling is minimalist but cozy, with an oversized art print, lamp and dark wooden vase.
Steal This Look:
Paint Color: BM Pale Oak (OC-20)
Console Table: Oak tone with drawers
Rug: Jute runner
Artwork: Oversized abstract or landscape print
Accessories: Neutral vase, iron lamp, basket with an interesting shape
This is a great option if your entry lacks natural light. The warm neutral palette brings a dark space to life.
