After passing the gate, the entrance is the entrance. The entrance hall is also called a small room, a hall, and a foyer. The term "porch" originates from Japan. After entering the house, you must first change into slippers and home clothes before sitting or lying on the tatami. The porch is absolutely indispensable in Japanese houses. When the renovation boom started in China, people were used to changing into slippers and home clothes after entering the house, so a transitional space began to become essential. Although the entrance hall occupies a small area in the living room, it is used frequently and is the only way to enter and exit the house. In room decoration, people often pay most attention to the decoration and layout of the living room, but ignore the decoration of the entrance. In fact, in the overall design of the room, the entrance is the place that gives people the first impression and is the "face" that reflects the cultural temperament of the owner. . In modern decoration, the entrance hall focuses on practicality and atmosphere creation, and reflects the cultural taste and personality of the owner of the room. Therefore, how to combine "fine" and "smart" has become the key and intention to create such an atmosphere. Entrance design must be concise and bright, integrating points, lines and surfaces, and avoid being complicated. 1. The concealing function of the entrance. The living room is the place where the family gathers daily and is the activity center of the family, so it should not be too exposed. In today's house design, many people can see the interior clearly from outside the door, which lacks privacy. Therefore, the existence of the entrance hall is very necessary. In other words, there should be a buffer space after entering the door, a screen similar to a screen wall, so that the sight outside the door cannot be seen, and at the same time, the energy in the home will not leak out. The entrance hall is the buffer zone between the door and the living room, and plays a basic covering role. You will feel that the security is greatly increased in the living room, and Tongjin is not afraid of privacy exposure. If the door faces the northwest or true north, it will often be hit by the cold wind in winter, so a porch is needed for protection. Houses close to the ground are often easily penetrated by strong winds and sand dust from outside. Setting up a porch can prevent wind and dust, keeping the interior warm and clean. 2. Building a Porch The porch also has certain functions that need to be regulated. Generally, the ceiling should not be too high, and the suspended ceiling part should be relatively low. The height should be between 2.5~2.57 meters and 2.62~2.65 meters, or a higher range of 2.7~2.76 meters, so that the height of the home is relatively staggered; A downlight can be embedded in the center of the ceiling to brighten the entrance. 3． Key points in the design of the entrance hall (1) The ceiling should be placed high rather than low. If the ceiling on the top of the entrance hall is too low, it will feel oppressive, which is an unlucky sign, symbolizing that the family is oppressed and will have a hard time getting ahead. If the ceiling is high, the air circulation in the entrance will be more comfortable, which will also be of great benefit to the luck of the house. (2) The color tone should be light rather than heavy. If the color of the ceiling is darker than the floor, a design that is heavier at the top and lighter at the bottom is not only unsightly but also symbolizes the disorder of seniority and disharmony between the upper and lower. The color of the ceiling should be lighter than the floor, with light top and heavy bottom, which is a reasonable pattern. (3) Lamps should be square or round, not triangular. Some people like to install several downlights or spotlights on the top of the entrance for lighting, but avoid arranging the lights in a triangle. It is better to arrange them in a square or circular shape, symbolizing squareness, stability and unity. . (4) Wall grids should be solid at the bottom and imaginary at the top. The lower half of the entrance should be solid and stable with a brick wall or wooden board as the foundation, while the upper half can be decorated with glass, which is ideal for being transparent but not leaking. It is recommended to use frosted glass, which is both beautiful and practical. (5) The color of the partitions must be of moderate depth. The color of the partitions on the walls of the entrance should not be too dark, so as to avoid the tone being dim and lack of vitality. The ideal color combination is: the ceiling color is the lightest, the floor is the darkest, and the wall color is somewhere in between to serve as a balance and transition between the upper and lower. (6) The walls should be smooth. The entrance is the main passage in and out of the house. If the walls and floors are smooth, the air flow will be unobstructed. If you use protruding stones for decoration and are uneven, there will be many obstacles to the transportation of the house, which must be avoided as much as possible. (7) The floor should be flat. A flat floor can make the movement of the house smooth and can also avoid slipping and falling. At the same time, the floor of the entrance should be kept as level as possible and should not be high or low. (8) The pattern of the entrance floor should not have sharp corners that will lead to the door. There are many patterns on the entrance floor. You should choose an inner space that means auspiciousness. You must avoid using patterns with many sharp corners, and avoid sharp corners that will lead to the door. (9) The floor in the entrance hall should not be too smooth. If the floor in the entrance hall is very smooth, it is not ideal from the perspective of home safety, because guests may slip and get injured easily. The underground drainage pipe should not cross between the door and the entrance hall to avoid contamination in the entrance hall when financial water flows inside and outside, resulting in poor health and financial difficulties for the family.
(10) Set up a shoe cabinet. It is logical to place a shoe cabinet in the entrance. It is very convenient for both the host and guests to change shoes. Attention should be paid to placing shoe cabinets in the entrance hall; ① The shoe cabinet should not be too high, and the height of the shoe cabinet should not exceed the height of the householder. ②The area of ??the shoe cabinet should be small rather than large, short rather than high, and shoes should be hidden rather than exposed. ③The shoe cabinet must try to reduce the odor. Otherwise, if the odor spreads around, there will be no good Feng Shui at all. ④The toe should be pointed upward rather than downward. When placing shoes, the toe must be pointed upward, which means that you will rise step by step. ⑤ The shoe cabinet should be placed on the side rather than in the center. Although the shoe cabinet is practical, it is difficult to make it look elegant. It should be on the side but not in the middle, which means that the shoe cabinet should not be placed in the middle. It is best to move it to both sides and away from the focus of the center. 4. Entrance decoration (1) Plant layout The entrance is the first area that visitors see when entering the house. The plants placed here have a vital impact on the appearance of the entire home. In conjunction with the lighting decoration, many large plants, trees and blooming orchid pots and other designs are suitable for the entrance. You can consider placing the same type of plants in the entrance hall and living room to create a visual sense of integrity and interoperability. It must be noted that the plants placed in the entrance should be mainly evergreen foliage plants, such as iron trees, money trees, golden kudzu and foliage figs, etc. Thorny plants such as cacti, roses, rhododendrons, etc. should not be placed in the entrance. Moreover, the entrance plants must remain evergreen. If they become yellow, they must be replaced as soon as possible. When the entrance is located in the northeast, white should be the main color, and white flowers are the best choice. White flowers can also be used as the finishing touch for photos or decorations. Placing a pot of red flowers on the shoe cabinet at the entrance can bring good luck to the family, yellow flowers are good for love, orange flowers are good for travel, and pink flowers are good for relationships. (2) Selection of ornaments In most ancient buildings, we can find that ancient people liked to place powerful and spiritual beasts such as lions and unicorns at the door of their homes as the guardian spirits of their homes. If a lion or unicorn is placed outside the house in a modern residence, there are often many restrictions. However, placing it in the entrance hall and facing the door can also play a role in protecting the house. Many people like to place crafts in the shape of exotic animals in the entrance hall, but they should not conflict with the zodiac sign of the head of the household. The situations where the twelve zodiac signs conflict are as follows: The zodiac sign is rat - avoid the horse whose zodiac sign is the horse - avoid the rat zodiac sign is the ox - avoid the sheep zodiac sign of the sheep - avoid the ox sign whose zodiac sign is the tiger - avoid the monkey zodiac sign - Avoid tiger whose zodiac is rabbit - avoid chicken whose zodiac is chicken - avoid rabbit whose zodiac is dragon - avoid dog whose zodiac is dog - avoid dragon whose zodiac is snake - avoid pig whose zodiac is pig - avoid snake (3) Entrance lenses The mirror installed in the entrance can be used to organize instruments when entering and exiting, and can make the space appear wider and brighter. However, the mirror cannot face the door, and it is not advisable to put lenses on the top of the entrance. If you look up and see your own reflection as soon as you enter the door, you will feel like the world is upside down.
