What the entrance door represents

Xuan Guan originated in China, originally refers to the Buddhist door of entry, now refers to the hall of the outer door, that is, the entrance to an area of the living room.

Specialized in residential indoor and outdoor transition space between a space, that is, to enter the indoor shoes, changing clothes or from the indoor to the outdoor buffer space, but also some people call it a bucket room, through the hall, foyer.

The entrance door in the house is not large, but the frequency of use is high, is the necessary place to enter and exit the house.

I, the basic meaning of the house decoration, people tend to pay the most attention to the living room decoration and layout, while ignoring the decoration of the entrance hall.

In fact, in the overall design of the room, the entrance is the first impression of the place, is a reflection of the owner's cultural temperament of the "face".

The concept of the entrance, originated in China, the past Chinese residential push the door and see the "shadow wall" (or called the wall), is the predecessor of the modern home in the entrance.

Traditional Chinese culture attaches great importance to etiquette, and emphasizes restraint, there is a "hidden" spirit.

Reflected in the residential culture, "shadow wall" is a vivid portrayal, not only so that outsiders can not directly see the activities of the people inside the house, but also through the shadow wall in front of the door to form a transitional space, guiding the direction of the guests, but also to give the owner a sense of territory.

Modern home, the entrance is the door to the first landscape, all the splendor of the interior is hidden behind the entrance, before walking out of the entrance, all the short-lived imagination may become a reality.

In the junction of indoor and outdoor, the entrance is a piece of buffer, is specific and micro a microcosm, is the prelude to the music, the preamble to the prose, but also the wind, sunshine and warmth of the channel.

Usually, the entrance is also a place to receive mail and simply meet guests.

According to the explanation in the Dictionary, Xuan Guan refers to the Buddhist door of entry, which evolved to refer to the outer door of the hall in general.

Modern society, after a long period of convention, Xuan Guan refers to an area at the entrance to the door of the house.

The entrance is a buffer between the living room and the entrance and exit, and here is also the home to give people a "first impression" of the point.

From the top, the entrance should not be too narrow, to have more than five feet, should not be too dark, should not be cluttered.

Generally speaking, appear in this place of the arrangement of the object is also a lot of antique furnishings, wall paintings, shoe cabinets, cloakroom cabinets, mirrors, small benches and so on.

General design of the entrance, often using materials such as wood, plywood veneer, sculpture glass, sandblasted painted glass, inlaid glass, glass tiles, mirror screen, stainless steel, granite, plastic finishes, and tapestries, wallpaper, and today's more popular magic block backdrop.

Two, the design form of the entrance can be made through the secondary decoration, reasonable design, well-decorated entrance is not only a window to show the owner's taste in life, but also more practical function.

So the designer's ingenuity is often reflected in this subtle place.

The design of the various forms.

(a) low cabinets partition that is to limit the space to low-shaped short platform, low cabinet molding furniture in the form of partition body, both storage items, but also play a division of space function.

(B) glass permeable is a large screen glass as a decorative cover, or plywood veneer next to inlaid sandblasted glass, embossed glass and other translucent materials, which can separate the large space, but also to maintain the integrity of the overall space.

(C) the grille around the screen type is mainly with different lattice pattern of the hollow wooden grille screen as a partition, both simple and elegant charm, but also to produce the complementary role of permeability and seclusion.

(D) half-open and half-sheltered is the lower part of the partition is completely sheltered design.

Partition hidden on both sides can not be permeable, the upper end of the open, through the ceiling ceiling connected to each other.

Semi-spacious half-hidden partition wall height is mostly l.5m, through the concave and convex changes in the lines, wall hanging wall decorations or the use of reliefs and other decorative arrangements, so as to achieve a strong artistic effect.

(E) cabinet shelf type is half cabinet half shelf type.

Cabinet shelves in the form of the upper part of a transparent frame for decoration, the lower part of the cabinet; or symmetrical form of the left and right set of cabinets, the middle of the transparent and other forms; or irregular means, virtual, real, scattered and each other, with mirrors, picking up and through a variety of artistic forms of comprehensive design, in order to achieve the purpose of beautification and practical and.

Three, the classification of the entrance has two ways: hard entrance and soft entrance (a) hard entrance is divided into: full partition entrance, half partition entrance 1, full partition entrance refers to the design of your entrance for the full width.

From the ground to the top.

This kind of entryway is designed to block the line of sight.

Note: (1) whether your design will affect the natural lighting of the doorway part, which is very critical, if this design causes into the doorway part of the light is dark, it is the snake added.

(2) whether this design will cause a narrow sense of space, this is also worth paying attention to.

2, half partition entrance refers to the entrance may be in the x-axis or y-axis on the half or nearly half of the design.

This design will reduce the probability of the above matters to a certain extent.

The half-partitioned entrance hall may also use glass in the transparent part, although it is from the ground to the top, so it is still classified as half-partitioned because it is visually half-partitioned.

(2) soft entrance refers to the method of regional treatment in the material and other planar basis.

Divided into: ceiling division, wall division and ground division.

Four, design purpose 1, is to maintain the owner's privacy.

Avoid guests enter the door on the whole living room at a glance, that is, in the door with wood or glass as a partition, delineate an area, visually shielded.

2, is to play a decorative role.

The first thing you see when you enter the door is the entrance, which is the initial feeling of the guests from the complicated outside world into the family.

3, is convenient for guests to undress, change shoes and hang hats.

It is best to set the shoe cabinet, coat rack, coat mirror, etc. in the entrance, shoe cabinet can be made into a hidden type, coat rack and coat mirror modeling should be beautiful and generous, and the entire entrance style coordination.

The decoration of the entrance should be coordinated with the whole set of residential decoration style, play a role in the beginning and end.

The design of the entrance depends on the type of house.

Can be arc-type, can also be right-angle type, some room types can also be designed into the entrance corridor.

Half-partitioned entrance refers to an entrance that may be designed to take half or nearly half in terms of x-axis or y-axis.

This design will reduce the probability of the above mentioned matters to some extent.

The half-partitioned entrance hall may also use glass in the transparent part, although it is from the ground to the top, so it is still classified as half-partitioned because it is visually half-partitioned.

Soft entrance: refers to in is in the material and other planar basis of the regional treatment method.

Divided into: ceiling division, wall division and ground division.

Five, the role of (a) visual barrier entrance to the outdoor vision to produce a certain visual barrier, not to open the door to the hall, so that people enter the door to the living room of the situation at a glance.

It focuses on the privacy and concealment of people's behavior inside the house, to ensure the security of the hall and the sense of distance, in the guests and family members visit, can be a good solution to the problem of interference and psychological security, so that people go out and enter the house in a more orderly process.

(2) Stronger use of the function of the entrance in the use of the function, can be used as a simple place to receive guests, receive mail, change clothes, change shoes, shelves the bag, can also be set up to put the bag and the keys and other small items of the platform.

(C) thermal insulation entrance in the northern region can form a temperature difference between the protected area, to avoid the winter cold wind in the open door and usually through the gap directly into the room.

The entrance door in the interior can also play a very good role in beautifying and decorating.

Sixth, the design of the entrance design is part of the home design, so its style should be harmonized with the entire interior environment, and the entrance is also largely a microcosm of the interior style.

How to design a favorite and suitable for their own home entrance? There are the following points to learn from: 1, from the interior to borrow decorative elements.

For example, the rustic style of furniture, the same can buy a full of rustic flavor of the shoe cabinet in the entrance, the cabinet can also be put on the surface of flowers, decorative paintings, etc., the function of decorative both.

If the home decoration is very simple, then the entrance should not be done too fancy, stable with wood grain shoe cabinets, a lovely shoe bench, a small carpet in simple colors, are good choices.

2, choose your favorite things in the entrance.

I have seen people in the entrance and living room on the partition to do an ornamental fish tank, every day home to see the small fish swimming around, a day of fatigue are relieved a lot.

Some people also like pebbles, bought some paved in the entrance below the ground, and then randomly embellished with a few shells, above the tempered glass cover, a natural and vivid interest in life in the door can be y felt.

Of course, if you like soccer, you can also write the name of the precious stars of the jersey framed in this; like the game, you can set up a few games on the shoe cabinet character dolls; like photography, you can hang a piece of their own most satisfactory works; like to travel, you can put their own travel on the way to the treasure in this, and can be replaced from time to time to personalize the life of the entranceway to give the unique charm of the individual!

3, if the interior area is small, the entrance should be made as simple as possible, too much decoration will cause a sense of clutter, but also affect the impression of people to the environment of the home; interior space is large, you can do a full partition or half-partition design, adding hand-painted way to form a complete concept of the entrance, not only to meet the basic use of the function, in the decorative can play on the space is also greater.

As a separate functional area, the overall style of the entrance should be more unified.

I have seen a set of 150 square feet of three-room home, in the door put a carved elm wood Chinese screen, hazy through the house scenery, not a charm, screen next to the two bamboo stools for people to change shoes, shoe cabinets are also low antique furniture, wall decorations are also antique, so that this small area of heaven and earth looks like a carefully crafted, style accessories are very unified.

See, no matter what kind of house, foyer as a pause in the door, to have some transitional features, both to form a good connection with the interior, the foyer itself should be integrated, of course, this point should be based on the actual situation of their own home to do.

The entrance design is a very test of the designer's skills, in the design process, functionality should be greater than decorative.

Seven, relationship ⒈ ceiling should be high, not low, too low will have a sense of oppression, symbolizing the occupants of the difficult to excel, suppressed.

Peak between the wall interval should be under the solid on the virtual, facing the door of the entrance to the lower half of the entrance should be a good brick wall or wood paneling to decorate, as a template, the upper half of the decoration can be bright decorative materials, such as frosted glass.

3 floor should be flat and shiny, pattern more auspicious and good luck pattern is better, do not be with diamond-shaped angular figure.

Sung the entrance lighting is a very important element, it can regulate the family's health and prosperity, the light can not be too bright, otherwise the door will be blinding also affect the nerves.

Can not be too dark, one will attract the spirit of the Yin, the second will make the luck of the decline.

The best choice of lamps square and round, can not use triangular lamp type.

Be careful with the layout of the entrance plants because the entrance is the first impression of home visitors to the interior of the area, so the plants placed occupy an important role.

Large plants with lighting, trees with style and blooming orchids and potted plant combinations and other designs are suitable for the entrance.

If the entryway is poorly lit, subjected to penetrating winds, subjected to lower temperatures at night, has a narrow aisle, or has little square or rectangular space, common flowering plants are more appropriate than plants with special forms.

Also, consider placing the same kind of plants between the entrance and the living room to help connect the two spaces.

Plants placed in the entrance can green the interior environment, increase vitality, and make the auspicious more auspicious.

But it is important to note that the plants placed in the entrance should be leafy evergreen plants, such as ironwood, Fortune Tree, golden kudzu and banyan, etc. Plants with thorns, such as cacti, roses and azaleas, etc., should not be placed in the entrance, so as to avoid counterproductive.

And the entrance plants must remain evergreen, if there is yellow, we must replace as soon as possible.

Select if you put a mirror in the entrance, not to the door.

Usually, residential mirrors in the entrance can be used to organize the instrument when entering and exiting, and can also make the entrance look broader and brighter.

But if the mirror is no end to the door, it is absolutely inappropriate, because the mirror has a reflective effect, will be the inflow of prosperity and wealth from the door to reflect out of the God of Wealth to reject the door.

Top of the entrance should not be posted on the mirror, the ceiling on the top of the entrance if the ceiling is made of mirrors, a door to raise the head is visible in their own reflection, there is a head down on the foot, the sense of reversal of the world, this is a taboo, must be avoided as far as possible.

Eight, material science that the entrance to a living room gas poly gas has a very important role, therefore, in the choice of materials is very careful.

The use of materials in the entrance to consider the convenience of use and the relationship between the entrance and the surrounding environment, design to grasp the individual and the overall echo, to meet the overall effect of the pursuit of individuality on the basis of to create an ideal spatial effect.

(a) the ground entrance needs to be kept clean, so, generally will use marble or floor tiles.

In the design for aesthetic effect can also be distinguished from the floor of the entrance hall and living room, self-contained.

Can choose polished marble parquet, or with different patterns, mirror polished floor tile parquet, or in line with the floor.

The floor design needs to grasp the principle of easy to clean, durable and beautiful.

(ii) the top surface is generally set in a narrow and depressing space entrance, is to change the proportion and scale of the entrance space, and then shape the space level.

The ceiling of the entrance hall can be curved, geometric, or wooden lattice frame with some hanging ornaments, and also consider combining with the ceiling of the living room to achieve the effect of simplicity, unity, and both personality.

(C) wall wall materials is the whole of the entrance as a whole, in the collocation on the virtual pay attention to the next real, in order to achieve the overall transitional effect, the lower part of the wall should choose heavy wooden materials or paste dark-colored tiles, construction patterns and bump changes in the line effect, or the use of relief I do not know the strong artistic effect, and the upper part of the need for the effect of translucent, a variety of art glass, sanded glassware is the best choice. The best choice.

In addition, the entrance is best to have a thickness to show the lower part of the calm feeling, in addition to making a cabinet with plates, you can also use hollow glass blocks and other blocks of transparent decorative materials masonry a wall, both thick and translucent, and this type of material are many kinds of colors and patterns, with a more casual, highlighting the personality.

(D) furniture and partitions are generally used with the room color tone of the wooden materials plus various colors of paint furniture.

Partition modeling materials are many, some use wooden grille around the screen, the design with different lattice pattern of the hollow wooden grille screen as a partition, both simple and elegant charm, but also to produce a complementary role of permeability and hidden separation; some use a large screen glass as a decorative spacing; some use a partial inlay of transparent glass, sandblasted glass, cracked glass, stained glass, heat melting glass, glass blocks, iron and other semi-transparent materials, both to separate the room, and to separate the room, and to make it more transparent. Transparent materials, both to separate the space and maintain the integrity of the space.

(E) Lighting foyer light should be soft and bright, according to the top modeling concealed lighting, inlaid spotlights, chic design track lights or simple boom lights, can also be installed on the wall or two unique wall lamps, to ensure that there is a good brightness in the foyer, so that the foyer environment is elegant and refined.

Lighting effects should be focused, should not be sought.

(F) trinkets and green foyer design in addition to consider hard decoration should also consider soft decoration, such as small vases or dry branches, or potted plants, can play a good role in embellishment.

In the choice, to follow the principle of highlighting the theme, less and more.

Nine, placed in a way (a) lighting entrance area is generally not next to the window, to use the intervention of natural light to improve the sense of light in the zone is not extravagant.

Therefore, it is necessary to bake the bright and warm atmosphere of the entrance through reasonable lighting design.

Generally in the entrance can be configured with a larger chandelier or ceiling lamp as the main light, and then add some spotlights, wall lamps, fluorescent lamps and other auxiliary light source.

You can also use some of the light towards the top of the small floor lamps for embellishment.

If you don't like the warmth of warm colors, you can use cooler light sources to convey the calmness of winter.

(ii) wall by wall and set up the entrance, the wall tone is the first point of contact with the line of sight, but also to give people the overall color impression.

Refreshing water lake blue, warm orange, romantic pink and purple, elegant green, colorful colors can bring a different state of mind, but also suggests the main color of the interior space.

The walls of the entrance are best suited to neutral warm colors, which can make people quickly from the exhausting external environment to the taste of home, feel at home inclusiveness.

(C) furniture strips, low cabinets, side tables, Ming style chairs, Pokou rack, the entrance at the different furniture placement, can assume different functions, or set, or display.

But in view of the limited space at the entrance, the furniture placed at the entrance should not affect the owner's access to the principle.

If the living room area is small, you can use low cabinets, shoe cabinets and other furniture to expand the storage space, and items like handbags, keys, tissue packets, hats, note pads and other items can be placed on the cabinet.

Additionally, furniture can be modified to achieve the effect of two in one, such as floor-to-ceiling furniture into a hanging display, or low cabinets into an open hanging closet, increasing the practicality of the same time and save space.

(D) decorations do not only consider the functionality of the entrance, decorative can not be ignored.

A small pot of daisies, a picture of the family, a tapestry full of exotic flavors, sometimes just a vase and a few dried flowers with the entrance to match the ceramic sculpture, can be for the entrance to create an extraordinary atmosphere.

Additionally, you can hang a mirror on the wall, or a square mirror without any decoration, or a decorative mirror inlaid with a wooden grille, which not only allows the owner to organize his attire before leaving the house, but also expands the visual space.

(E) ground entrance floor is the highest frequency of use in the home.

Therefore, the entrance to the floor of the material to have wear-resistant, easy to clean features, the floor of the decoration is usually based on the overall decorative style of the specifics of the general use of the floor of the paving materials such as glass, wood flooring, stone or floor tiles.

If you want to make the entrance area and the living room are different, you can choose to lay the living room with a different color tile.

You can also raise the floor of the entrance hall and make a small slant in the connection with the living room to highlight the special status of the entrance hall.
