Through the entrance hall, it can bring a buffer space to the transition between indoor and outdoor, and give people who have just entered the door a psychological hint and a sense of territory. As the first scenery to enter the living room and other spaces, the entrance hall usually plays a prelude role similar to music. If the design of a home is a drama, then the hall is undoubtedly the curtain. When you walk out of the hall, the curtain will open and a wonderful drama will begin.
First of all, understand the functions that the porch can achieve.
(1), partition shielding effect
This influence is mainly psychological. China people are reserved and have a spirit of "hiding". Therefore, the entrance of China is often separated from the living room and other spaces, which is relatively rare in foreign countries. Through the entrance partition, people are prevented from seeing the whole home at a glance as soon as they enter the door, lacking the necessary buffer in psychological transformation, and increasing the privacy of the house.
② Convenient storage function
The entrance is a place of entry and exit. In order to temporarily store clothes, shoes, purses and other items, there are usually shoes cabinets, storage cabinets, mirrors, coat racks and other corresponding furniture and objects.
(3), show the decorative function
When you open the door from the outside and enter the room, the first thing you see is the porch. Therefore, the porch is a concentrated display of the overall home effect, and it is best to give people a bright feeling as soon as they enter the door. Therefore, considering the decorative importance of the porch, some decorative items such as artworks and green plants can be placed in this space.
(4) Feng Shui function
From the perspective of home feng shui, the entrance, as the intersection of indoor and outdoor, plays a very key role in the fortune of home. If it is a family that believes in Feng Shui, then the porch decoration can not be ignored. How to decorate the porch to make it lucky and avoid disasters is very particular.
Second, the design of the hall should focus on appreciation rather than functionality.
When it comes to the entrance hall, many people may think more about designing a shoe cabinet and wardrobe, which is convenient for changing shoes and clothes when entering and leaving the house. This idea can't be wrong, but it should be noted that if a hall that meets these functions is as messy as a storage room, it will have no aesthetic feeling, let alone be the "first scenery" of the home.
Smart owners generally ask designers to put the shoe cabinets and wardrobes in the lobby as low-key as possible, as long as these functions are met to a certain extent. If the capacity of the shoe closet is really insufficient, we can find ways to remedy it in other spaces. The hall must be beautiful.
So how can the porch be more beautiful? These aspects can be considered.
(1) The extension of the overall home style.
Extend and even concentrate the elements of interior design style into the lobby. For example, a modern home pavilion can use some glass elements that can express fashion avant-garde. Usually, an exquisite metal handicraft will bring infinite avantgarde and enjoyment to the space. At the same time, a shoe cabinet with smooth lines and modern surface not only meets the functional requirements of the hall, but also harmoniously matches the style of the hall.
(2) Put your favorite mood in.
The entrance hall is the first space you see when you enter the room, and its style directly affects your mood towards home. In order to have a good mood as soon as you enter the door, you might as well put on your favorite small crafts and so on. For example, a vibrant fish tank can wash away the fatigue of the day for you; A constantly changing vase with flowers on it is a platform for you to talk with the four seasons. In short, the personalized lobby will let you find your coordinates on this planet.
In addition, a screen or glass partition can be designed at the boundary between the hall and the living room or bathroom, which not only ensures the integrity of the hall, but also weakens the sense of space closure.
Three, the five elements of the hall design
① ceiling
Generally speaking, the ceiling of the hall should consider the echo relationship with the ground, and echo from the shape and position between them to further strengthen the spatial characteristics. Because the entrance hall is generally a non-absolute partition space, it is generally necessary to consider designing a complete intersection circle in the ceiling modeling design, in order to seek independence in the opening.
② the ground
The modeling design of the lobby floor must be coordinated with the ceiling of the lobby. The floor of the hall is usually the most frequently rubbed part of the home. Therefore, when choosing the floor material of the hall, we should consider its characteristics of firmness, wear resistance and easy care. Usually, marble or floor tiles are good choices. If you must use the floor with the living room and other parts, you should also try to lay a carpet on it to protect the floor of the lobby as much as possible.
③ wall surface
Usually, the color and shape of the porch wall is the first thing to break into people's sight, and it is also the place that can give people the most psychological association. Therefore, when considering the design of the porch wall, because the porch is generally not too big, we must pay attention to its simple and clear style positioning, and don't bring complicated design into the porch wall. If it is the main hall of a big house like a villa, of course, this restriction can be exempted.
④ Lighting
The natural light in the foyer is usually not very good, so it is very important to create a bright foyer space with reasonable artificial lighting. Generally speaking, the porch is not suitable for a single chandelier (except the villa porch), and it is usually dominated by ceiling lamps, with some spotlights, wall lamps and reflective lamp slots as auxiliary light sources. It should be noted that the light sources in the lobby must be clearly defined.
⑤ Furniture
Of course, the cloakroom is an important furniture in the hall, and it is usually an indispensable hall furniture. For example, the owner goes home every day to put down his purse and umbrella and change his coat to sleep every day?
When designing the entrance, it should not be difficult to get wonderful results by fully considering the surrounding environment and grasping the design principles of the five elements. What needs to be emphasized is that the design must be based on the whole, grasp the key points, and pursue individuality on this basis, so as to achieve results.
Editor's summary: when considering the renovation of the porch, the owner needs to consider the functions undertaken by his own porch in advance. If he attaches importance to the function of feng shui, he should pay attention to the influence of some precautions in the layout of feng shui on the decoration; If you pay attention to the practical storage function, you can add all kinds of convenient storage objects. Everyone's decoration needs are different, and the decorated porch can't be the same.
