You don't have to have a porch in every apartment, do you? Feng shui is nothing, don't use it.

In house decoration, people often pay the most attention to the decoration and layout of the living room, while ignoring the decoration of the porch. In fact, in the overall design of the room, the porch is the place that gives people the first impression. It not only guides the visitors and gives the host a sense of territory, but also reflects the "face" of the host's cultural temperament.

(1) Visual impairment function

The entrance has a certain visual barrier to the outdoor sight, so people can see the living room at a glance as soon as they enter the door. It pays attention to the privacy and concealment of people's indoor behavior, ensures the safety and sense of distance in the hall, and can solve the interference and psychological safety problems when guests visit and family members enter and leave, so that people can enter and leave the house more orderly.

(2) powerful use function

The porch can be used as a place to simply receive guests, receive mail, change clothes, change shoes and put bags, and also as a platform for putting bags, keys and other small items.

⑶ Thermal insulation porch can form a temperature difference protection zone in the northern region, so as to avoid cold air entering the room directly through the gap when the door is opened in winter. The porch can also play a good role in beautifying and decorating indoors.

The porch design is a part of home design, so its style should be coordinated with the whole indoor environment, and the porch is also a microcosm of indoor style to a great extent.

1, borrowing decorative elements of the interior. For example, if the furniture is rustic, you can also buy a shoe cabinet full of rustic flavor and put it on the porch. You can also put flowers, decorative paintings and so on. Put it on the counter, which is both practical and decorative. If the home decoration is simple, then the porch should not be too fancy. A shoe cabinet with steady wood grain, a lovely shoe stool and a simple carpet are all good choices.

2. Choose what you like and put it on the porch. I have seen someone make an ornamental fish tank on the partition between the porch and the living room. Going home every day to see small fish swimming around, the fatigue of the day is relieved a lot. Some people like pebbles, so they buy some and spread them under the porch floor, and then decorate a few shells at will, with tempered glass on them. As soon as you enter the door, you can deeply feel a natural and vivid life interest.

Of course, if you like football, you can also put the precious jerseys with the names of the stars here; Like games, you can put a few dolls of game characters on the shoe cabinet; Like photography, you can hang a picture that you are most satisfied with; If you like to travel, you can put the treasures you found during your trip here, and you can change them from time to time ... Personalized life gives the porch a unique personal charm, and you can give full play to it in your own space.

3. If the indoor area is small, the entrance should be as simple as possible, and too much decoration will cause a sense of clutter, which will also affect people's impression of the home environment; The indoor space is large and can be designed as full partition or semi-partition. Adding hand-painted methods to form a complete porch concept can not only meet the basic use functions, but also have more decorative space. As an independent functional area, the overall style of the entrance should be more unified.

Second, the porch is also very mysterious.

The entrance is also very mysterious, because there are quite a few taboos in doing it. Doing it well can make the owner feel relaxed and happy, and the house will be icing on the cake, otherwise it will be the opposite. The following are the main taboos of the porch.

1. The interval of the living room entrance should be solid at the bottom to prevent leakage, and the top should be transparent. So you can use transparent frosted glass or hollow antique shelves.

2. The lighting of the living room porch should be bright but not dark. Most residential porches have no natural light source, so you must consider the lighting problem more. In addition to the interval should use more transparent frosted glass, most of the living room porch has no outdoor natural light, so indoor lighting should be used to remedy it, such as lighting.

3. The interval between the entrances of the living room should not be too high or too low, but should be moderate. Generally, the height of two meters is the most suitable, and the cabinet can be made below, which is about 88 cm high. You can use antique shelves or something. If the entrance of the living room is too high, there will be a sense of oppression in it. According to geomantic omen, if the entrance of the living room is set too high, it will completely block the air outside the house, thus cutting off the fresh air or vitality of the door, which is very undesirable. If it is too low, it will have no effect, and it is not suitable for both feng shui and practicality.

4. The entrance of the living room should be kept clean and fresh. If there are too many sundries piled around, it will not only make the living room look messy, but also have an impact on residential feng shui. The living room porch is messy and dark, and the whole room will appear crowded and depressed. You can put some feng shui items on it, such as Kirin.

5. The entrance is generally not close to the window. In the entrance, you can configure a large chandelier or ceiling lamp as the main light, plus some spotlights, wall lamps and fluorescent lamps. As an auxiliary light source. You can also use some small floor lamps with upward light for decoration and embellishment.

6. It is best to use neutral and warm colors on the wall of the porch, which can give people a soft and comfortable feeling, so that people can quickly forget the chaos of the external environment and feel the warmth of home.

7. The porch furniture should be placed on the principle of not affecting the owner's access. If the room area is too small, you can use furniture such as low cabinets and shoe cabinets to expand the storage space. You can also kill two birds with one stone by modifying furniture, for example, changing floor-standing furniture into hanging display racks, or making low cabinets into open hanging wardrobes, which increases practicality and saves space.

8. As a porch, while considering functionality, decoration can not be ignored. Even a small pot of daisies, a family portrait and an artistic landscape painting can bring extraordinary effects to the porch.

9, porch floor materials should have the characteristics of wear resistance, easy to clean.
