How to lay out and decorate the entrance

"Xuanguan", a mysterious and critical meaning, specifically refers to a transitional space from outdoor to indoor, and also a buffer space for entering indoors to change shoes, undress, or go from indoors to outdoor. In the residence, although the area of ​​the entrance is not large, it is used more frequently, which is a necessary place to enter and exit the residence. It can be said that the porch is the "face" of a family. It not only has good functions, but also has higher aesthetic requirements.

In layman's terms, the location where you just walked in is called the "porch". The hallway is a transitional space for entering and leaving the door, and it plays a role of turning and reunion. The role of the porch is to block the sight of the outside and not to see the interior completely, and to ensure the privacy of indoor life is to prevent the indoor air from leaking. The room can't be opened like a city gate, the entrance just solved this problem. The porch of the house is now the shadow wall in the old Chinese house. Before admission, there is a pilot space to guide people's sight, and then enter the house.

The porch is one of the most important parts of the house. It can be said that it is the throat area of ​​the house. The feeling it gives to the entrant is the first impression it gives. The first impression is usually produced in the first seven seconds, and this is basically the same time as entering the room to examine the hallway and adjust the breath.

The porch is the buffer area that enters the living room from the door, allowing the moving entrants to calmly and calmly, and at the same time is the only way to introduce air into the room, so its layout can directly affect the feng shui of the house.

The porch likes twists and turns, but avoid straight through. In today's apartment design, many are unobstructed. People stand outside the door and see the room clearly, without any obstructions, and lack of privacy. It's not that there is something unknowable about your family life, but the relative secrecy of your personal space and a kind of respect for others.

Generally, the ceiling should not be too high. To make the indoor height relatively staggered, a downlight can be embedded in the center of the ceiling to make the entrance brighter. The front facade of the hallway should reflect some artistic modeling. As a residence, the side of the entrance should be a shoe cabinet, hangers, cabinets and other furnishings, which is convenient for getting in and out of changing clothes and shoes. Other forms of closets or furniture can also be designed according to the needs of the field and the family. If it is a shoe cabinet, the height of the shoe cabinet should be one-third of the total height of the wall. The concept of the overall design of the entrance should not be constrained, it can give full play to imagination.

Many apartment types do not provide the location of the entrance during the architectural design, so you should create one during the decoration. For example, set up a screen not far from the door. The screen can be carved glass or solid, but try not to be completely transparent, otherwise the original intent of the entrance will be lost. Some units already have a screen-like retaining wall, but it does not block the door entrance, which requires the screen to be moved to the door.

Pay attention to the following items when setting up the entrance:

It should not be too low, it should be more than 1.5 meters.

It should not be too dark, but bright.

Don't mess around and pile up old things.

The mirror must not face the door, but can be placed on the side.

No gossip-shaped roof is allowed.

Entrance carpets should be placed outside, and dirty should not be brought indoors.

The entrance door should not be an arch.

Shoes should be stored neatly.

Apartment-style houses that are too small are not suitable for a separate entrance.

As the porch is located at the forefront, it has a great influence on the home delivery. Therefore, the ornaments placed here should be careful to avoid accidentally destroying the house's Feng Shui. The ancients often placed lions and unicorns, such mighty and spiritual beasts, to guard at the door as the patron saint of houses.

If a lion or a unicorn is placed outside a modern house, it is often subject to many restrictions. The next best thing is to put it in the front door facing the door, and it can also be used to protect the house. Many people like to put various animal-shaped handicrafts in the hallway as ornaments, but you should remember not to conflict with the head of the household’s zodiac to avoid the danger of getting started.

The well-designed entrance hall will make people feel bright when they enter the door, refreshing their spirits, and making the house instantly glowing. Therefore, in interior design, every effort should be made to beautify the entrance.

There are four basic principles to beautify the entrance:

One is through. The entrance should be transparent, so transparent frosted glass and thicker wood boards are better. Even if wood boards must be used, brighter tones rather than fancy wood boards should be used. If the color is too dark, it is easy to feel clumsy.

The second is moderate. The entrance should not be too high or too low, but should be moderate, generally two meters in height is the most appropriate. If the entrance is too high, there will be a sense of oppression in it, but if it is too low, there will be no effect. It is not appropriate in terms of feng shui and design.

The third is bright. The entrance should be bright and not dark, so you must use your brains in terms of lighting. In addition to using more transparent frosted glass or glass tiles, the color of the wooden floor, floor tiles or carpets should not be too dark. If there is no outdoor natural light at the entrance, then Use indoor lighting to remedy it, such as installing permanent lights.

The fourth is tidy. The entrance should be kept clean and tidy. If too much debris is piled up, it will not only make the entrance appear chaotic, but also have an adverse effect on the residential Feng Shui.
