Almost all entrances have a entrance hall. What is a entrance hall and what role does it play?

What is a porch

In fact, the concept of a porch originated in China. In old-style houses, the “screen wall” you see when you push the door is the predecessor of the modern entrance hall. Nowadays, the entrance hall refers to the outer door of the hall, and it is also a transition from the security door to the inner room of the living room. This is because Chinese people like to be reserved and do not want to see the inner room at first sight after entering the door. This increases the privacy of the owner, which is also a characteristic of Chinese culture.

The entrance area is generally not large, and it mainly serves as a covering and buffer.

The role of the entrance

1. The home decoration style starts from the entrance

In order to prevent guests from having an unobstructed view of the entire room as soon as they enter, the entrance at the entrance should be Decorate appropriately. Of course, different styles use different decorative techniques, and there are corresponding decorative elements for different styles. If the home is of modern European style, it can be realized through the combination of European wall lamps, crystal lamps and other elements; the Chinese style can be reflected in the entrance through the combination of window grilles, Chinese latticework, small furniture and other elements.

2. The entrance as a barrier - to avoid the embarrassment of being visible at a glance

The existence of the entrance forms a transitional space at the entrance, which can guide people in the direction. At the same time, it also plays a role The function of the visual barrier prevents the entire living room and even the inner room from being visible as soon as the door is opened, thereby maintaining the privacy and concealment of the owner's life. What's more, many house types now have the awkwardness of "door to door" after entering. The design of the entrance can resolve this problem.

3. The entrance is cleverly used for storage

The entrance is a collection place for changing clothes, shoes, umbrellas, and bags after entering the door. It is also a place for the owner to organize clothes and prepare small items when going out. There is a space for carrying items, so when designing the entrance, you should also pay attention to integrating the storage function into the design as much as possible.
