Generally speaking, the design portal has three purposes: 1, to keep the owner's privacy. Avoid guests from glancing at the whole room as soon as they enter the door, that is, use wood or glass as a partition at the entrance to draw an area for visual shielding. 2. It is used for decoration. The first thing you see when you enter the door is the porch, which is the initial feeling of guests entering this family from the complicated outside world. It can be said that the porch design is the condensation of the designer's overall design ideas, which plays a finishing touch role in room decoration. 3. It is convenient for guests to undress and change their shoes and hang their hats. It is best to set the shoe cabinet, coat rack and coat mirror in the porch. The shoe cabinet can be hidden, and the shape of the coat rack and coat mirror should be elegant and coordinated with the whole porch style. The decoration of the porch should be coordinated with the decoration style of the whole house, which plays a connecting role. Next, I will tell you a little knowledge about porch design: 1. At the entrance, the stairs and floor are connected with other rooms in the house, so the same color as these places must be used to attract visitors' attention easily. Wallpaper or paint can be used, but if the entrance is dark and the space is narrow, it is best to choose a lighter and brighter color. If the porch is spacious enough, you can also choose richer and darker colors. However, it is best to avoid piling up too many dazzling colors and patterns in this cramped space. 2. If the wall of your home is flat enough, wallpaper with decorative edges will be a good choice, which can add more colors to the wall. If we can use the frame rail and the retaining wall together, it will not only increase the consistency between the porch and the stairs, but also affect the line of sight. If it is a big and monotonous wall, it can be separated by wooden poles, and then different wallpaper or different colors are pasted on the top and bottom, which will also increase the interest. 3. The color selection of facade and corner board is also very important for the entrance. Too strong contrast will highlight them, so the choice of color should be as consistent as possible with the background tone. 4. The floor is always the main consideration, not only because it pays attention to the wear and impact it must bear, but also because it is the most suitable way to lead out this spatial pattern. Solid wood floors and tiles are good, because they are easy to clean and wear-resistant. It's just that the tiles will make the whole area look a little cold. Another option is to use long carpets. This kind of carpet is long and narrow, which is very suitable for the shape of the porch. Retro carpets can be matched with bronze handrails and can extend all the way to the stairs. When cleaning, you can pry up this carpet to clean it (refer to TX for the decoration of duplex rooms). 5, lighting, because the entrance has many corners, small corners, gaps, so it is particularly difficult to design lighting. The use of wall-mounted ceiling lamps and nested wall lamps can make the lights rise, resulting in a considerable sense of hierarchy, as well as the feeling of extending from the porch to the stairs. In addition, you can also use a pair of chandeliers, or if there is enough space for a small table, you can also use one or two lamps to enhance the light. Another way to make the dark porch more vivid and interesting is to try to hang some photos, pictures or paintings on the cloister, or even add two small lights to the paintings to make your precious collection look particularly dazzling.
