Several aspects that need to be paid attention to in the feng shui of the foyer and porch

1. The intervals between the living room 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 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, about eighty-eight centimeters high. 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 both in terms of Feng Shui and practical aspects.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. It is best to use neutral to warm tones for the walls of the entrance, 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.

6. 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 and saves space at the same time.

7. When making a porch, while considering functionality, the decorative aspect cannot be ignored. Even a small pot of daisies, a family photo, or an artistic landscape painting can create an extraordinary effect for the entrance.

8. The material of the entrance floor should be wear-resistant and easy to clean. If you want the entrance area to be different from the living room, you can choose to lay floor tiles with different colors from the living room. You can also raise the floor of the entrance hall and make a small slope at the connection with the living room to highlight the entrance hall. special status.
