How to design a door facing a wall? Decoration skills for a door facing a wall

We all know that there are many kinds of house layouts. Some house layouts have the entrance door facing a wall. This is quite common, so many people will spend time and effort on the decoration design, hoping that the layout of the house will not be too abrupt. So how to design the entrance door facing a wall to look good? Let's take a closer look!

How to design the entrance door facing a wall

There are two situations when the entrance is facing a wall. One is that the wall is close to the entrance and can be regarded as the entrance wall. The other is that the wall is far away from the entrance and may be the wall of the bedroom or bathroom, which can be regarded as the end wall. The decoration between them is also slightly different.

1. Wall as entrance wall decoration

As the first wall that comes into view after entering the house, the decoration style of the entrance wall should be consistent with the home decoration style. I think its decoration methods can be divided into the following types:

⑴ Do not make obvious “differential treatment”

The entire wall is decorated without any "special" treatment. It is treated as an "ordinary" interior wall and decorated in the same way as other walls. In my opinion, this method allows the home to "start" at the entrance, rather than having to pass through a relatively independent entrance area first. This also gives the space good "extensibility".

⑵ Combine practical functions

A storage cabinet is set up on the wall directly opposite the entrance. The one that is closer to the entrance can be used as a shoe cabinet; the one that is farther away can be used to place decorative spaces such as ornaments and flowers, so that the home environment can be "lit up" at the entrance.

Storage cabinets with doors that blend in with the decoration style are themselves good "decorations". If the doors are opaque, they can also "hide" the stored items very well and prevent the space from becoming cluttered because of them.

⑶ Combined with hollow partition

The wall directly opposite the entrance can be partially demolished, and a hollow partition can be added at the demolished position. This will allow the "indoor" and the entrance to have their own areas and maintain relative independence. Moreover, the "broken but transparent" characteristics of the hollow partition will not form a "complete" separation between the two areas. The space has a good "sense of extension", making the "indoor" space vaguely visible at the entrance, and also adding a sense of layering to the space.

The material, color, and style of the hollow partition are selected based on the size of the demolition location, decoration style, personal preferences, etc. However, hollow partitions with more complex shapes will be inconvenient to clean, which needs to be taken into consideration.

The wall opposite the entrance can be decorated with a shape that can be exaggerated, euphemistic, complex, or simple and bright... No matter how it is presented, it must be able to blend in with the home decoration style and have a certain degree of "representativeness" of the decoration style.

If the wall directly opposite the entrance is close to the door, there will be a sense of oppression when entering the house. You can make a shape of a certain thickness on the original wall. Although this will further reduce the area of ​​the space, the "deep and shallow" levels brought to the wall will visually make the wall "extend", effectively reducing the sense of cramped and oppressive feeling brought to the space.

2. Treat the wall as a landscape wall

Although the end wall is far from the entrance, it can still attract people's attention directly and become the first place they see after entering the house. I think there are two ways to deal with its decoration:

① Use latex paint or wallpaper with the same material, color and pattern as other walls on the wall, and match it with hanging paintings, which can not only be well unified with the environment, but also have some "difference". The hanging painting becomes the "protagonist" of the end wall, and its content represents the intention of the end wall to a large extent, so put your interpretation of home in the hanging painting, so that you can see it at first sight after entering the house!

② Make a shape on the wall that matches the decoration style. This way the end wall will be significantly different from other walls and will be more eye-catching. If the material used for the shape is the same as that of other wall shapes in the same space, it will "shorten the distance" between the end wall and other areas, making the end wall "no longer so far away"!

Tips: Because the article involves demolition methods, I would like to remind you that walls cannot be demolished without authorization. They can only be demolished with permission from the property management. Load-bearing walls must not be demolished.

Decoration tips for the entrance door facing a wall

Generally, this kind of wall will be used to make shoe cabinets or feature walls to increase the beauty of the entrance hall, or your designer can have a more creative design. To put it bluntly, this wall is not practical, so we will make it look better.

Make entrance wall

The entrance space is relatively large, so designing an entrance landscape directly looks quite grand; this new Chinese style entrance design is really the less the better, elegant and full of artistic conception.

Make end wall

Use low cabinets for storage, and you can also place some decorations to match the wall decorations, presenting a beautiful and practical entrance. If your entrance does not have space for a custom shoe cabinet, you can consider an independent low shoe cabinet, like the following examples.

Make a shoe cabinet for the entrance

A relatively simple and practical solution is to use the opposite wall as a shoe cabinet, whether it is customized or independent, anyway, don't waste this wall space. I think the storage function of the floor-to-ceiling customized shoe cabinet will be more powerful. As for which one to choose, it depends on your actual situation.

Indoor wall decoration method

Geometric wall

White walls are too common and lack freshness. By using geometric shapes and incorporating different shades of gray and painting them on the walls, the white walls instantly come alive. The triangular shapes cut the walls into multiple areas, adding a sense of layering to the space, making it low-key and restrained without losing the sense of design.

Shelves

How can we ignore the shelf that has both storage function and home aesthetic design? A simple shelf, with a few favorite books and green plants, brings a fresh and lively style to the space. It is simple but stylish, showing the owner's literary personality.

Photo Wall

Photo walls are an indispensable decoration for creating a warm and beautiful home. With simple frames and random combinations, they can evoke the good and happy times of the past. The most beautiful pictures in the depths of memory are engraved in photos, and an inadvertent glance back can trigger the softest memories in your heart.

Hooks and low cabinets

The entrance is the porch, which is the face of the room and the first impression when entering the house. The low cabinet in log color and open design are used as the storage place for shoes, and the hooks on the wall are used as embellishments. It is simple yet elegant, which is another form of embodiment.

There are many forms of wall decoration to choose from, either simple and clear, elegant and dignified, or lively and elegant and gorgeous. Each design has its own style. You can make a choice based on your own needs and overall style.
