Doesn’t every apartment have to have an entrance hall? Feng Shui doesn't matter, so don't use it.
In house decoration, people often pay most attention to the decoration and layout of the living room, while ignoring the decoration of the entrance. In fact, in the overall design of the room, the entrance is the place that gives people the first impression. It not only guides the direction for visitors, but also gives the owner a sense of territory. It is also the "face" that reflects the owner's cultural temperament.
⑴Visual barrier function
The entrance creates a certain visual barrier to the outdoor sight, so as not to open the door to the living room, allowing people to have an unobstructed view of the living room as soon as they enter the door. It pays attention to the privacy and concealment of people's indoor behavior, ensuring the safety and distance in the hall. When guests come and family members come and go, it can well solve the problems of interference and psychological safety, making the process of people going out and entering the house more convenient. Orderly.
⑵Strong use functions
In terms of use function, the entrance can be used as a place to simply receive guests, receive emails, change clothes, change shoes, and store bags. A platform for small items such as bags and keys can be set up.
⑶ The thermal insulation effect of the entrance hall can form a temperature difference protection zone in the northern region to prevent the cold wind from entering the room directly through the gap when opening the door. The entrance hall can also play a very good role in beautifying and decorating indoors.
The second entrance hall design is part of the home design, so its style should be harmonious with the entire indoor environment, and the entrance hall is also a microcosm of the indoor style to a large extent.
1. Borrow decorative elements from the interior. For example, for furniture with a pastoral-style entrance style, you can also buy a shoe cabinet full of pastoral style and place it in the entrance. You can also put flowers, decorative paintings, etc. on the cabinet to achieve both functional and decorative functions. If the home decoration is very simple, then the entrance should not be too fancy. A stable shoe cabinet with wood grain, a cute shoe stool, and a small rug in simple colors are all good choices.
2. Choose what you like and put it in the entrance hall. I once saw someone build an ornamental fish tank on the partition between the entrance and the living room. When I go home every day and see small fish swimming around, the fatigue of the day is relieved a lot. Some people also like cobblestones, so they buy some and lay them under the entrance floor, and then randomly decorate them with a few shells, which are covered with tempered glass. A natural and vivid life interest can be deeply felt as soon as you enter the door.
Of course, if you like football, you can also frame the precious jerseys with the names of the stars written on them and put them here; if you like games, you can put a few dolls of game characters on the shoe cabinet; if you like photography, , you can hang one of your most satisfying works; if you like traveling, you can put the treasures you picked up during your travels here, and you can change them from time to time... Personalized life gives the entrance a unique personal charm. In the space that belongs to you, the big You can play as much as you want.
3. If the indoor area is small, the entrance should be as simple as possible. Too much decoration will create a messy feeling and affect visitors’ impression of the home environment. If the indoor space is large, you can The design of full partition or semi-partition, adding hand-painted methods to form a complete entrance concept, can not only meet the basic functions, but also provide more space for decoration. As an independent functional area, the overall style of the entrance should be relatively unified.
2. Porch is also a mystery
Porch is also a mystery. Nowadays, there are quite a lot of taboos in making a porch. If done well, the owner can feel relaxed and happy, and the house will be more beautiful and prosperous. Otherwise, the opposite will happen. . The following introduces the main taboos of the entrance hall.
1. The space between the living room entrance and the entrance should be solid at the bottom to prevent leakage, and transparent at the top. Therefore, you can use transparent frosted glass or hollow book shelves.
2. The lighting in the entrance hall of the living room should be bright rather than dark. However, most residential entrance halls do not have natural light sources, so you must use more brains when it comes to lighting. In addition to the more transparent frosted glass that should be used for the partitions, most living room entrances do not have natural outdoor light, so indoor lighting must be used to make up for it, such as installing lights.
3. The distance between the entrance and the living room should not be too high or too low, but should be moderate. Generally, a height of two meters is most suitable, and a cabinet or the like can be used underneath, with a height of about 88 centimeters.
You can use a book shelf or the like above. If the partition between the entrance hall of the living room is too high, you will feel oppressive when you are in it. Feng Shui believes that if the entrance hall of the living room is set too high, it will completely block the air outside the house, thus cutting off the fresh air or life from the door, which is very undesirable. If it is too low, it will have no effect and will be inappropriate in terms of Feng Shui and practical aspects.
4. The entrance to the living room should be kept clean and fresh. If too much debris is piled around, it will not only make the living room look cluttered, but also affect the feng shui of the house. If the entrance to the living room is messy and dark, the whole room will look crowded and depressing. Some Feng Shui items can be placed on it, such as unicorns.
5. The entrance should generally not be close to the window. A larger chandelier or ceiling lamp can be installed at the entrance as the main light, and some spotlights, wall lamps, fluorescent lamps, etc. can be added as auxiliary light sources. You can also use some small floor lamps that shine upward for decoration and embellishment.
6. It is best to use neutral to warm tones for the walls of the entrance hall, which can give people a soft and comfortable feeling, making people quickly forget about the chaos of the external environment and appreciate the warmth of home.
7. The furniture placed at the entrance should not affect the owner's access. If the living room is small, you can use low cabinets, shoe cabinets and other furniture to expand storage space. You can also achieve the effect of killing two birds with one stone by modifying furniture, such as changing floor-standing furniture into hanging display racks, or turning low cabinets into open hanging wardrobes, which increases practicality while saving space
8. When making a porch, while considering functionality, decoration should not be ignored. Even a small pot of daisies, a family photo, or an artistic landscape painting can create an extraordinary effect for the entrance.
9. The material of the entrance floor should be wear-resistant and easy to clean.
