So, how to build a porch for an apartment without a porch? Let's talk about it in two parts: 1, what are the general types of apartments without porch, and where to put the porch cabinets; 2. What elements are included in the strong portal and how to combine these elements reasonably.
First, what are the general types of apartments without a porch, and where are the porch cabinets?
Generally speaking, small apartment is the main reason for the lack of porch, and it is also the reason to promote the function of porch to change from taking care of Feng Shui to receiving first. However, in the cases I have done, many large-sized houses do not have a porch, so the basis for distinguishing whether there is a porch cannot be attributed to the size of the house.
In my career, I have seen many apartments without entrances, and the common ones are as follows. Let me talk about where to put the porch cabinet and how big to put it.
1. The entrance door is at right angles to the dining room wall, and the entrance faces the dining room (as shown below).
In small and medium-sized units, this is a common type without entrance. For small and medium-sized units, the entrance is an important storage space. Therefore, it is necessary to try to build one. The most common thing for designers is to make a shoe cabinet against the wall (the little red box above), which saves time and effort and can also meet the general needs of owners.
But there is another possibility, because there are two walls at the door. The width of the wall on the left is not big. If there is more storage demand, it is obviously not enough. Then there is the following design (as shown below), which not only makes full use of the space, but also shields the entrance and is more private. In other words, the porch does not exist alone, and many times the design should be considered together with the guest restaurant.
2. The entrance door is at right angles to the living room wall, and the door faces the living room (as shown below).
Many people have questions, why not put the porch horizontally against the wall, but vertically; There are two reasons: 1, the living room is bigger and more layered, and it can also protect some privacy of the living room from taking a look at it; 2, you can have more storage space, the wall can be better used, because the thickness of the porch cabinet is certain (generally 30 cm, which will be discussed below), and placing it against the wall will inevitably take up more space.
3. The entrance door forms an angle of 0 degrees with the two walls, which can penetrate the guest restaurant at a glance (as shown below).
The reason why the porch cabinet is set on the right wall is that it is wide enough, and the owner likes this booth very much, which can make better use of the space; The wall on the left can also be used to place simple clothes hangers and clothes.
4. The large apartment has a 0-degree angle, and the entrance door faces the bedroom or bathroom.
In a large apartment, this is a common situation. Without a porch, the entrance door will face the bathroom or bedroom door. In this case, some partitions are needed (generally, position 2 is near the dining room or living room wall). There is enough storage space for large-sized houses, so the entrance is more for decoration or to avoid destroying Feng Shui. The above four types are relatively common non-porch units. For small huxing, the function of the porch is more practical, especially for storage; For large units, more is decoration.
5, the size of the porch
The location of the porch cabinet is easy to determine, but the layout of the dining room or living room should be considered as a whole. The size and width of the porch cabinet are determined according to the width of the wall; Look at personal needs highly, but now the height of commercial housing is about 2.8 meters, and it will be more depressing when it reaches the top. Half height is more suitable, and there can be about 30 cm space under the cabinet, which is convenient for putting shoes; The thickness is generally 30 cm. Why is it 30 cm? Let's talk about it This is an average, which is based on the size of shoes. Because there is no exact data to support it, it is not certain that the shoe size of men in China is between 40 and 46, and that of women is between 36 and 40. But the best shoe sizes bought in Ma Yunjia are concentrated in this area. Take the maximum value of 46 yards, the value is 28cm, plus the cabinet door is about 5 cm, which is almost the value. If it is made too thick, it may affect the moving line of the house.
Second, how to create a strong entrance?
What we need to understand is that the entrance is only a small area and cannot undertake many storage functions. Many people still want to use the porch as a "face" when they enter the door, and put a bunch of shoes and clothes key cards ... Can they look good and pursue messy beauty? Strong storage is more inclusive, and there are many kinds of common items that can be stored, rather than putting shoes that can last for a lifetime in the porch cabinet. Is it possible? So first of all, we must determine what function the porch should undertake. Our needs are nothing more than the following: we can put shoes, we can sit and change shoes, we can have mirrors, we can hang clothes, we can store small things, and we can temporarily put a courier box. Are these demands too much? Not too much. Can they be satisfied? Of course.
So, what should we do?
1, to meet these needs, you need a cabinet that can not only put shoes, but also sit and temporarily store express delivery, which can be bought or customized. The size can refer to the size of a treasure's shoe stool.
2. Hang clothes, hats, scarves, keys, etc. You need a row of hangers or hooks, like this:
Finally, you need a mirror. This may be difficult for the short-walled apartment where the entrance cabinet is located.
4. How to combine them? We combine them according to the wall width of the smallest porch cabinet under normal circumstances.
Shoe cabinet: 600 mm wide and 450 mm high.
Toilet mirror: the width is about 350 mm
The height of the hanger is self-painted, and the quantity is self-painted.
If your wall is not 1 m wide, put the mirror somewhere else.
If you don't think it's ugly, then unify the style and don't use colors indiscriminately.
Or, if it's too troublesome, just buy a whole cupboard; But I think since you can understand this smelly and long article of 1900 words, you won't feel any trouble, will you?
