"If you're looking to take your guest's breath away when they step into your home, check out these brilliant entryway transformations, and then add Famelly Del Orbe (@famdcor)'s latest entryway project to your mood board. Famelly, an interior designer, worked on the project for a client, Perla, and the duo embarked on a DIY limewash accent wall to liven up the overall "dark beige that made the space feel dull," as Famelly puts it."
"They primed the wall first, waited two hours for the primer to dry, and then applied the first coat of the Boulder hue with a 5-inch brush in a crisscross pattern. They waited another two hours, then applied the final coat. "We were worried that the dark limewash color might shrink the space, but it had the opposite effect," Famelly says. "It added depth ... to the entry.""
""Something I disliked from day one was the wall color," Famelly says. "The existing space had an outdated vibe." A limewash treatment adds a modern, industrial look that creates a more dramatic entrance - and furniture completes the job. Goodbye, beige. Hello, DIY limewash. The first thing Famelly and Perla decided to do was paint the entire entryway a crisp white (using Benjamin Moore's Scuff-X in Pure White)."
Famelly Del Orbe and client Perla transformed a dull, dark-beige entryway with a DIY charcoal limewash accent wall and updated furnishings. The team painted the surrounding space Benjamin Moore Scuff-X in Pure White to brighten the entry and ordered modern furniture and lighting to complete the look. They used Portola's Limeproof Undercoat primer and Portola's Boulder limewash, priming, waiting two hours, applying a crisscross first coat with a 5-inch brush, waiting again, then adding a final coat. The limewash added multi-tonal depth and a modern, industrial feel without shrinking the space.
