How to Design the Hallway?

The hallway gives people the feeling of being the front of the house, and its first feeling also gives people a different aesthetic feeling and lasting appeal. At the same time, it is also the transitional area of our house. For the first sight of the beautiful porch after eight hours of work every day, even if we are tired, we will surely become very comfortable.

So how should we design a good hallway?

First, the function of the hallway

The function of the porch is mainly decorative and functional.

1. Functional entrance

The hallway is an area that we must pass through to go out and enter the door, so the hallway should meet our comfort level when designing, and it should also meet our needs in function, such as changing shoes, putting bags, putting umbrellas, keys, hanging clothes, looking in the mirror, etc.

2. Decorative hallway

In addition, there should be glass or partition, which not only has decorative effect, but also can protect our privacy.

Second, the common hallway design

1. Storage type

The hallway is very particular when designing, not only should it be practical, but also should be accommodating. Therefore, the hallway should pay attention to the convenience of wearing and holding shoes. 

If the entrance wants to have accommodation, then you need a shoe cabinet. If the entrance area is relatively large, you can consider an external shoe cabinet. Otherwise, if the area is small, you can consider an internal shoe cabinet. Pay attention to the depth of the shoe cabinet according to the size of the shoes. Moreover, the size of the shoes for men and women is different, and the natural depth is also different. 

On the other hand, in order to make it convenient for us to wear shoes and bend down, the height of our shoe stool should be consider. As for the depth, it depends on the situation, while the width depends on the porch. Generally speaking, the chair is large enough to facilitate more people to change shoes.

2. Small cloakroom

Some people will have the habit of changing into household clothes as soon as they get home, or finding out the clothes to wear the next day, so there is no need to hurry up and down the next day, so our porch can also be a very good cloakroom, not only with good decoration effect, but also can accommodate.

3. Lighting

Light has the function of setting off the environment. Different lights can make people feel warm or cold, happy or sad.

The light of the hallway should be mainly in warm colors. In addition to lighting, it should also reflect a warm feeling so that the home has a warm and auspicious atmosphere.

It is suggested that you install induction lamp, and it will light up as soon as you enter, so you don't have to smear and find the key.
