No matter how many apartments you buy, the entrance hall will only be of these 4 types. It’s not nonsense, you will know by comparing the apartment types.

The entrance hall is a small space in terms of the overall house area, but it needs to carry a lot of functionality, such as storage, privacy, and aesthetics… Planning the entrance hall has become a headache for many owners.

No matter how many suites you buy, the most common entrance halls nowadays are nothing more than these 4 types: corridor type, L type, and inverted U type , no entrance. We have carefully prepared four simple layout drawings, let’s get started~

1. Corridor-type entrance hall

Corridor-type entrance hall, that is, It is an entrance hall with walls on both sides.

Layout suggestion 1: Choose a custom cabinet attached to one side of the wall or place a finished shoe cabinet; (PS: The depth of the entrance cabinet is About 35 centimeters, if there is enough space, you can choose custom-made cabinets.)

Layout suggestion two: If you want sufficient storage, you can choose double-row cabinets; leave at least a distance between the middle aisles. 80 cm, more than 1.2 meters is more comfortable.

Layout suggestion three: If there is not enough space to place the cabinets, and the entrance wall is a non-load-bearing wall, the cabinets can be embedded inside the wall.

2. L-shaped entrance

There are walls on both sides, which is a corridor type The entrance hall has a wall on one side, and the wall and the entrance door are L-shaped. We call it the L-shaped entrance hall for short. This type of entrance space is relatively open, but has poor privacy and has an unobstructed view of the interior.

Layout suggestion one: Keep it simple and place a set of cabinets directly against the wall to ensure basic storage capacity.

Layout suggestion two: Considering improving privacy, you can choose to place a set of entrance cabinets opposite the entrance door to improve storage and indoor privacy at the same time.

Layout suggestion three: Combine the first two to plan an L-shaped cabinet, taking into account storage capacity and privacy; considering the transparency of the entrance, you can also choose a transparent cabinet opposite the entrance door. Light opaque partitions.

3. Inverted U-shaped entrance

If you ask which type of entrance is relatively perfect, it must be an inverted U-shaped entrance. There are walls opposite and side of the entrance door, which provide excellent privacy.

Layout suggestions: You can choose to place cabinets on one side of the wall; or put cabinets on both sides of the wall; improve the aesthetics and make the entrance The wall opposite the door can be used as a side view.

4. No entrance hall

The most troublesome entrance hall is There is no entrance hall design, there is nothing in the entrance door area, and the wall is a straight line.

Layout Suggestion 1: A little more formal. You can choose to customize the cabinets on either side of the walls to meet basic storage requirements.

Layout suggestion two: If you need to improve privacy, you can choose to build cabinets on either side of the wall perpendicular to the entrance door, but it will take up more space.

Layout suggestion three: Build a set of cabinets opposite the entrance door to increase storage capacity and improve privacy; if you want to be more fashionable and light, you can choose floating cabinets

When we layout the entrance, the most important things to consider are storage capacity and privacy. The above four entrances have \”pain points\” \”It has been solved. If you buy a house and encounter the same entrance hall in the future, just compare the floor plans and dress accordingly!

One ​​ladder and one household/house garden

Drought will cause death by drought, waterlogging will cause death by waterlogging; there are The entrance space of some homes is cramped, and some owners have separate spaces, such as one staircase for each household or a porch garden.

1. One staircase for each household

For houses with one staircase and one apartment, many entrance doors have free area, which can be used for storage design, so it is also possible to place the entrance cabinet outside the door. You need to swipe your card to enter, so privacy is relatively high; if you are worried, you can choose a locked cabinet.

2. Home garden

As for the home garden, This is a characteristic of some large apartments, which means that the entrance space is a small independent space.

For this type of entrance, in addition to the inherent shoe cabinet, you can also add a cloakroom and leisure area design, which is more practical. .

Extended entrance function

Although the entrance is small, its function can be extended.

● Disinfection area

Bringing dust indoors is just a matter of cleaning, but if you bring viruses indoors, it will Not good. Under the current serious environmental epidemic situation, it is also necessary to plan a disinfection area at the entrance.

Needless to say, there is no need to talk about the storage of disinfection supplies. In addition, you can add a sink function in the entrance to make it the first time you get home. Wash hands and disinfect.

If you want it to be easy to use, the most important thing is storage. Let’s start with the design of the entrance cabinet~

1. Storage Details

● The bottom is 15-20cm above the ground, where you can place regular shoes.

● The height of each compartment in the shoe cabinet area is about 15-20cm, and movable partitions can be designed to facilitate the placement of high-top shoes and boots.

● A convenient storage countertop is planned in the middle, making it easy to place keys etc. when you get home.

● Use the top as a storage area for seasonal shoes or sundries.

● Regarding the depth, you should choose it according to the largest size of your family’s shoes, usually around 35cm.

● If you want to place a shoe box, you can choose a depth of about 40cm.

● If the entrance space is not enough, you can choose a tipping shoe cabinet with a depth of 17-25cm.

2. Breathability effect

If there are many leather shoes at home and the shoe cabinet is too tightly sealed, odor will occur. Then we can consider choosing an entrance cabinet door that can \”ventilate\”: choose blinds or rattan cabinet doors, which are highly breathable.
