As one of the most important components of the residential core, the entrance can be said to be the throat area of the residential building, giving visitors the feeling equivalent to the first impression between people. According to psychological analysis, the first impression usually occurs in the first seven seconds, which is basically the same as entering the house to check the entrance and adjust the breath. In the west, the porch represents the family's money and has a decisive influence on the good or bad of the house.
The entrance is a buffer zone that enters the living room from the gate, so that participants can calm down and concentrate. At the same time, it is the only way to introduce air into the house, so its layout can directly affect the feng shui of the house.
There are big porches in front of traditional houses in China, but the residential areas in modern cities are generally narrow. If you set up the traditional big porch, you will obviously feel that the space is cramped and it is difficult to move. Therefore, the compromise is to use a glass screen as a partition, which can not only prevent the outside air from rushing directly into the living room from the gate, but also make the narrow porch not too tight.

Nine points to pay attention to when setting the entrance:
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. If you want to make the entrance area different from the living room, you can choose to lay floor tiles with different colors from the living room, or you can raise the floor of the entrance and make a small slope at the connection with the living room to highlight the special position of the entrance.
