Notes when designing the main door to ensure convenience and privacy

HẠ MÂY |

According to Aboluowang, from location, size to interior design around the main door can help the living space increase privacy and use more effectively.

The main door should not be placed directly opposite the elevator door.

When the elevator door is right in front of the main door, each time the door is opened, the house will face directly the continuous flow of people in and out. This easily causes privacy loss, increases noise and creates a sense of insecurity for people living inside.

In addition, frequent elevator openings and closing can also cause dust and odors from the common area to enter the house. If this happens, you can arrange more green trees, decorative shelves or light partitions to create buffer space and reduce direct impact.

Avoid placing mirrors facing the main door

Mirrors placed opposite the doorway can cause a dazzling feeling when entering the house, especially during the day or when there is strong light. In addition, directly reflecting the doorway space can also easily create a confusing feeling, lacking visual stopping points. Instead, mirrors should be placed on the side to be both convenient to use and aesthetically pleasing.

The size of the main door should be balanced with the space

The main door being too wide can cause the interior space to be exposed, making it difficult to control temperature and security; while the door being too narrow causes inconvenience when moving, especially for large families or when needing to transport belongings. Therefore, the door size should be designed in harmony with the overall area of the house or apartment.

Limit the main door directly facing another door

When two doors are facing each other (whether in the same house or between two apartments), privacy is easily affected because the view can penetrate straight inside.

At the same time, the wind flow also tends to go straight, reducing the stability of the air in the house. In real apartments, this is difficult to avoid, but can be handled with carpets, shoe cabinets, partitions or arranged furniture reasonably to reduce the feeling of facing directly.
