How to decorate the entrance hall and design it beautifully? What are the techniques for decorating the entrance hall?

We all know that home decoration is quite complicated. Every place needs to be considered and many places need to be decorated with emphasis. The entrance is one of them. There are many kinds of entrance decoration designs on the market, which are mainly determined by the house type and decoration style. So how to design and decorate the entrance to make it look good? Let's take a closer look!

How to design the entrance hall?

1. Large apartment entrance design

1. There is an independent entrance wall as soon as you enter the door:

This type of house type generally means that there is a reasonable entrance directly opposite the door. At this time, when we design, the first thing we consider is the matching issue. In this case, we must design a background wall when designing. Even if it is a simple plaster line decoration, it can also have a good effect. Inside, we can match wallpaper according to the overall style, or hang a porch mural, or put a porch table here. It can be simple and generous.

2. There is an independent entrance area as soon as you enter the door:

This type of apartment generally refers to a large space as soon as you enter the door, so we must take this area seriously when decorating. We can make this area more personalized, and design it to feel like a cloakroom, with independent storage cabinets, shoe benches, dressing mirrors, hanging areas, placement areas, etc. Because there is space, we can design it casually, but the matching style must be coordinated with the overall matching.

3. For the long corridor entrance:

If there is a long corridor when we enter the door and there is enough space to make cabinets, we can design a cabinet combination along the wall, and integrate the shoe cabinet, storage cabinet, shoe bench, dressing mirror, and hanging area. The specific design should be based on the actual situation, and the combination should be reasonable and appropriate, so that the effect will be more beautiful.

2. Small apartment entrance design

For small apartments, the design of the entrance should be more practical. Since the indoor usable area is small, the main focus when designing the entrance should be on storage.

1. Partition shoe cabinet:

Generally, for apartments where the living room and dining room are integrated as soon as you enter the door, in order to avoid the phenomenon of seeing the whole thing as soon as you enter the door, we can design a partition-type shoe cabinet combination at a reasonable position in the entrance hall. This can not only play a good shielding role, but also can store shoes. In addition, we can use lattices and shelves to decorate the shoe cabinet, or put some decorations on it, which is beautiful and practical.

2. There is a short corridor at the entrance:

For such small apartments, there will usually be a porch of about 2 meters at the entrance, so in this case we can design a shoe cabinet based on the actual wall distance. If there is enough space, we can use a combination shoe cabinet that integrates storage, dressing mirror, and shoe bench.

If the space is too small, we can design it with a shoe cabinet at the bottom and a storage cabinet at the top, leaving a space in the middle to store bags, keys, or some green plants as decorations.

3. Inlaid shoe cabinet:

However, for some entrances with small corridors, there is no space for entrance cabinets. So how do we deal with this situation? Generally, for this kind of apartment, there must be a wall next to the bedroom, so at this time we can renovate the wall and design the shoe cabinet into a mosaic style. For the bedroom, we can make the wardrobe and shoe cabinet into one. In this way, the space is used reasonably, and there is storage space in both the entrance and the bedroom.

Tips for foyer layout

First, lighting layout

The porch is located near the entrance and its lighting is easily blocked by other functional areas, so the lighting layout is very important during the design process.

In addition to choosing lamps with good-looking shapes, the requirements for brightness and color are also relatively high. The entrance is suitable for downlights and spotlights. This bright and soft light can make up for the defect of insufficient lighting.

Second, the entrance painting

In addition to being occupied by shoes and sundries, the small entrance space also needs a certain appearance to set off the space. No matter what kind of entrance, as long as you hang a simple decorative painting that matches the style, you can enhance the overall space effect and make people feel bright when they enter the door.

Third, decorative ornaments

If there is a hallway cabinet or shelf in the hallway, it must be decorated with ornaments. Depending on the style, it is a good idea to put some potted plants and art ornaments to enhance the overall style.

Fourth, carpet

If there are no protective measures for the entrance hall which is frequently visited, daily cleaning will become very troublesome. Choosing a suitable carpet for the entrance hall not only reduces the burden of cleaning, but also adds beauty to the space.

Fifth, green plants

No matter what area you are in, putting a pot of green plants is more pleasing to the eye. According to the style and Feng Shui, placing suitable plants will not only make the room look full of vitality, but also keep the residents in a good mood every day.

What are the requirements for entrance decoration

First, leave a place for the shoes you change every day.

In daily life, when we go in and out of the house, we must have a place to put our shoes after we take them off. If you don't consider this issue when decorating the entrance, there will be a pile of shoes at the door, which is very unsightly. So when we design the shoe cabinet, we leave two compartments without installing doors, or place a shoe-changing bench at a suitable location in the entrance. Some people say that it is popular to leave 15 cm of space at the bottom of the shoe cabinet? I personally think that one disadvantage of this design is that it is easy to collect dust and is difficult to clean.

Second, reserve space for keys, bags, and clothes

The entrance is not just for shoes. Every day when you come back home, you will put bags, keys and other small items in the entrance. At this time, you should consider leaving a 20-centimeter space in the middle of the shoe cabinet to place small items.

It is also best to design a place to hang bags and clothes, so that bags and clothes will not be thrown around. Some people have piles of clothes on the sofa at home, which may be because there is no place to hang clothes in the entrance.

Third, it is best to design a floor-to-ceiling shoe cabinet

The floor-to-ceiling shoe cabinet is the most practical. It can store shoes for the whole family, shoes of different seasons, and shoes of different functions. Moreover, the floor-to-ceiling shoe cabinet also reduces the trouble of dust on the top of the shoe cabinet.

Therefore, the design of the entrance should be given great attention. The entrance is not just a place to place shoe cabinets, it also carries other functions.
