The term “entrance group” began to be used in the construction industry relatively recently. The façade structure framing the threshold is the first thing guests will appreciate when entering a residential building.
Basic elements of the external system
Input groups can be represented in various variations. A well-equipped porch is not only protection from uninvited guests and bad weather, dust, noise, but also a beautiful, respectable element of the cottage facade.
TO entrance structure include windows, doors and other functional and decorative elements:
- Terrace or platform;
- Porch;
- Staircase design;
- Columns;
- Canopy;
- Other details that complement the façade of the building.
When developing the design of the entrance group, Revecon engineers take into account all possible details: the characteristics of the building, the wishes of the customer.
The façade structure of a private household must meet the following requirements:
- Be safe during operation;
- Serve for a long time;
- Protect from weather “surprises”, retain heat;
- Prevent the entry of animals, wind and protect housing from unwanted guests.
The arrangement of the external structure can be carried out in different architectural solutions, even different from the exterior of the building, the main thing is that the group organically complements the overall style of the facade.
Selection of materials, parts included in external system, depends largely on the region in which the home is located. If the area is characterized by harsh weather conditions, the door must reliably protect against cold and gusts of wind.
Varieties of structures with a porch
The entrance to a residential building should demonstrate the hospitality of the owners, as well as be convenient, safe and easy to use. In the photo of the entrance groups for the cottage from the Revecon catalogue, you can see unusual and standard designs with a winning solution.
The porch is a flat area with a flight of stairs adjacent to it. In a private house, the technology for its construction is somewhat different and the design may be:
- Built-in;
- With a separate foundation;
- Element of the building foundation project;
- Made in the form of a structure upon completion of the cottage;
- Made in the form of steps from natural stone.
Revecon engineers recommend assembling the stairs at a slope not exceeding 45 degrees. Structures exceeding these indicators are equipped with ramps and are constructed in the form of an attached part. The porch should emphasize the individuality of the design and be convenient for the home owners.
External group with a door made of metal-plastic
The most accessible, simple and affordable option. The group itself consists of small roof and a metal door. The design does not involve the construction of steps or a porch. The main advantage of this option is the availability of space for arranging a green corner. To give the external group originality, you should correctly combine the color scheme of the porch with the facade of the cottage.
For a brick building, a simple one is suitable white door made of metal-plastic and dark gray base. The canopy can be made of polycarbonate, installing it to the wall using forged elements.
External entrance with terrace
The best option for external design, both in terms of convenience for homeowners and the combination of materials.
The spacious terrace near the cottage, used as a platform in front of the door, is suitable for arranging a place to relax in the warm season. A semicircular canopy made of polycarbonate will protect the area and entrance from precipitation, wind and sun rays.
To manufacture this group, artificial and natural materials are used, selected by Revecon designers in a single stylistic solution.
Decorative elements of the external group
When arranging the entrance structure, engineers use various elements that complete the composition and connect everything together. The following decorative elements will help give the group an interesting appearance:
|
Design option |
Description |
|
Column design |
The best option for 2-storey cottages. The columns give the facade of the building an extravagant appearance and emphasize the impeccable taste of the owner. The porch is made of brick and stone. Granite and marble are also suitable. |
|
Glazed entrance |
This option is most often used in regions with cold climates and long winters to prevent gusts of wind from penetrating into the building. Regarding the project, it is better to invite specialists from the Revecon company - in terms of functionality, this entrance group is superior to all others. |
|
External polycarbonate entrance |
Can be used in summer cottages. Translucent polycarbonate looks good with simple, no-frills buildings. Various forged elements can be used as decoration for the porch. |
|
Fabulous entrance design |
If the house is a real work of art, then the entrance group should be appropriate. The cottage is located on the edge of the forest - it can be given the appearance of Cinderella's house. All elements are made from tree roots and branches. The game looks quite interesting with light and dark shades. In this case, the canopy should serve as a continuation of the roof of the house; it is necessary that everything is in harmony and complements each other. |
You can give the entrance a respectable, solid look using a combination of natural wood and natural stone. Revecon designers ensure that this is a win-win for country cottages made in a classic style.
Entrance design: requirements
Before the beginning construction work you should create a project for the future entrance, decide on the installation plan and materials. Revecon engineers note that the following nuances must be taken into account when making calculations:
- The door block must be in contact with the path to the cottage;
- It is necessary that the materials used are in harmony with appearance building;
- The first step from above should coincide with the first floor of the house, but we should not forget about a small margin for freely opening and closing the door;
- When designing the structure, you need to take into account the presence of a visor;
- An excellent option is a fence (in winter, home owners will appreciate it).
Revecon designers offer various options entrance to the cottage, the design of which takes into account the features of the house, the materials used for the construction of the building and the purpose of the future structure. The cost of work depends on the complexity of installation.
The first thing that catches our eye when examining the facade of a private house is its porch, or at least the front door. The way the main entrance to the building is decorated shapes the entire impression of the exterior of the entire home. As a rule, when decorating the porch, the same construction and finishing materials are used as in the entire building.
The color palette of the entrance to a private house may differ from the chosen range of the entire building, if it was decided to make it an accent of the exterior, to highlight it. But more often, you can still see a porch that repeats the decorative elements and color palette of the entire structure of a private house.
Porch with a small canopy
As a rule, a canopy is a continuation of the roof structure and, together with the porch, carries a considerable functional load - it protects from the sun and precipitation. Provides comfortable entry into the room. If the architecture of the building is such that it is not possible to continue the roof to provide even a small canopy over the main entrance, then you can organize a small canopy, which will not only take on part of the functionality, but will also diversify the exterior of the building, and if done successfully or in an original way, will decorate it.
The design of a small canopy or canopy can serve as a platform for embedding lighting systems. More often the backlight is LED lamps, built into the plane of the canopy, pendant lamps are sometimes used, but only if the height of the porch allows this to be done without obstruction.
IN modern exterior private buildings still often use glass, iron and concrete structures. But also application natural materials more popular than ever, especially in the construction and decoration of country houses.
Even a small canopy over the front door can improve the main entrance of a private house. There is little shadow from this design; it also will not protect from the wind, but it will save you from the rain while you open the door or wait for a taxi.
Concrete structures became the basis for the design of the space in front of the front door with a small canopy. Considering high foundation house and several steps leading to the main door, it was logical to install stable railings that give a sense of security to residents and their guests, especially in bad weather. Concrete slabs also served to design the paths to the porch steps. In rainy weather, household members do not have to worry about the cleanliness of their shoes when walking on tiles, the space between which is filled with pebbles.
Open terrace with seating area in front of the entrance
If the area in front of the front door allows, then you can organize an open terrace in front of the main entrance, where you can place a place to relax, a children’s swing, or simply the opportunity to have a comfortable stay in front of the house entrance with reliable protection from the weather.
A spacious terrace, where wicker garden furniture for relaxation and large tubs with ornamental plants were comfortably placed, formed a cozy and attractive composition in front of the large entrance door with glass inserts. Hanging lamp original design will provide lighting on the terrace, and wall-mounted street lights will illuminate the approach to the porch of a private house.
If the foundation of the building is high enough, then it is obvious that the approach to the porch will be designed using steps. As a result, the open terrace will be located at some elevation compared to ground level. Steps and flooring of terraces can be decorated using stone and concrete slabs, brick and wood, impregnated with special products designed to protect it from moisture and the effects of pests.
When designing an approach to the main door of a house, if it has a low foundation, it is often sufficient to build a wooden platform or deck, which can serve, among other things, as a recreation area for adults and games for children.
And a few more images of the main entrances to a private house, equipped with a seating area with a hanging bench, which can also serve as a swing.
White garden furniture to match the finishing elements of the building’s facade against the background of stone slabs on the terrace flooring looks even brighter. Practical and reliable way finishing will last long years and will look like the day it was built.
Wood and stone finishing the porch
No matter how modern the building of a private house is, the decoration natural materials always appropriate, it gives the exterior warmth and comfort, creates an atmosphere of cordiality.
It is not only appropriate to decorate country houses with wood and natural stone. Within urban dwellings natural finish will look original, attractive, non-trivial.
There is nothing more organic and appropriate for decorating the facade of a private home located outside the city. Proximity to nature dictates the choice of construction and finishing materials.
The cladding of a private house with imitation wood using round holes in the exterior, which are made in the form of portholes, has become an interesting design discovery. Decorating the approach to the porch using stones various shapes and size complemented the non-trivial appearance of the home.
If the façade of the building is decorated in a country style, then a logical continuation of this style will be the decor of the porch with abundant use of wood trim and elements of country life.
Wood and stone are inseparable, like yin and yang in the decoration of buildings with a country style. Country households look incredibly organic with stone wall decoration and wooden doors, platforms and practical decorative items.
Accent on the front door
Often the exterior of a building is an almost monochromatic and monotonous structure with a minimum of decor; in this case, the design of the main entrance and, in particular, the front door comes to the fore. It can be made in an unusual design or simply presented in bright colors
Doors unusual design with glass inserts and copper elements can become the hallmark of a modern building. Against the background of stone cladding, original wall lanterns for the street in the shape of pyramids look advantageous.
Decorating a doorway using wooden frame and mirror inserts with interesting geometry can certainly become a decoration for any façade of a private building.
The design of this porch of a private house cannot be called boring; for its design, different types of wood, flat stone, thick stained glass, painted and corrugated, were used, copper elements and rivets. Among a series of private households, such a main entrance will certainly stand out.
By the way the front door to a private home looks, we can form some impression about the owners of the building, their tastes and tastes. color preferences, and sometimes lifestyle.
The design style of this porch cannot be called anything other than eclectic. painted door with original ornament, wicker sofa with soft backing in active colors, unusual Wall lights– such a main entrance to a private home is difficult to forget.
A wooden door with stained glass inserts, a garden bench with removable soft seats and climbing plant in an outdoor pot they created an original composition at the entrance to a private house.
The original entrance door in the ancient style of medieval castle buildings has become a decoration of the modern facade of the building. The contrast from the combination of a dark door and structural elements with a warm, light finishing palette creates a festive appearance for the porch.
For some homeowners, it is important that not only inside, but also outside their home, everything is simple and concise. Concrete finishing I also erased the design of the steps, the original door, a small plant in a stone tub and a pair of garden chairs of minimalist design - a strict, but at the same time interesting image of the porch is ready.
Large double doors with a black frame, glass and mirror inserts, a symmetrical arrangement of wall lanterns and plant pots created a balanced and harmonious image of the main entrance of a private household.
Arched doorway, glass inserts on dark background door frame, wrought iron railings, street lamps stylized as lanterns - everything can decorate the appearance of the building in general and the porch in particular.
Such front door designs are rare, but they are certainly in an original way not only diversify design features entrance to the room, but also the possibility of designing a fairly wide doorway.
The original door made of wood with glass inserts of transparent and frosted design has become the highlight of the entrance to the building of a private house, which will not be forgotten by anyone who has visited it.
Another option for pivoting doors with a dark frame and inserts of corrugated frosted glass, which lets enough light into the hallway, but at the same time hides what is happening inside the house.
The entrance door as a bright element of the facade
Against the background of an absolutely faceless facade of the building, a bright door will look accentuated, attractive and non-trivial. The rich color of a door color can refresh the appearance of a private household, giving its image positivity and brightness.
The rich, bright color of the front door transforms the calm decoration of the building's façade. Small glass insert near the door will allow residents to see the visitor from inside the room.
The orange shade of the door frame was repeated in the designs window frames, creating a very colorful ensemble against the background of an unremarkable dark gray facade.
How to design a path leading to the main entrance
Not only the decor of the porch, but also the landscape design of the area leading to it is important for forming the first impression of the appearance of a private building. It is much more pleasant and comfortable for residents and their guests to walk along a path carefully laid out from stone or concrete slabs, decorated with gravel or pebbles, and admire the greenery ornamental plants, planted in the ground or garden tubs and pots.
Concrete slabs as a basis for organizing the approach to the main door of the house, small artificial ponds, plants in the soil and large garden tubs - everything works to create a harmonious atmosphere in the landscape design of the area in front of the porch.
A light stone path to the porch with small steps, a space strewn with pebbles around it, tubs with plants - all this helped create an incredibly symmetrical, balanced appearance of the main entrance of a private house. Against the background of a snow-white finish, a large double door looks harmonious. wooden door and dark grille designs for windows and street lights.
Next to the wooden platform leading to the main entrance, there is a bright oriental-style composition with exotic plants, a beautiful street panel and a small pond. And the door itself cannot be denied originality - the non-trivial approach to the design of the main entrance has borne fruit, the image of the porch is unique and interesting.
Another porch in an oriental style with an abundance of evergreens and flowering plants, strict decoration and the use of sculptures to organize the garden landscape.
In the construction industry, the term “entrance group” appeared relatively recently. The entrance group is considered to be various designs and decorative elements that make up the composition that forms the main entrance to the house. Entry group– this is the first thing that guests will be able to appreciate when entering the house.
If you look at the photo, you can understand that entrance groups in private houses can be presented in various options.
Basic options for entrance groups
The input group is usually represented by the following elements:
The entrance lobby should match the style of the architecture of the private house. The entrance door is an important element of the façade display. Today's market is able to offer entrance doors for every taste and income. They made from various materials and can be either metal, wood, or made of tempered glass.
Design entrance doors for a private home can satisfy any client requirement. You can install hinged, single, double, sliding or combined doors. If the owner of the house wants to get a unique door in order to emphasize his individuality, then he should make a door to order.
The glazing of the entrance group is a win-win option. Framing even the simplest and most unattractive structure with translucent walls can give it a sophisticated look. For these purposes, you can use not only glass, but also acrylic or polycarbonate.
A porch with a staircase should be distinguished by its strength and beauty. You can see in the photo original combination porch using stone masonry and complementary wrought iron railings with an openwork pattern. The canopy can be of any size and cover not only the porch itself, but also the stairs. It can be supplemented with elements of openwork forging. If the house has more than one floor, then You can use a balcony instead of a canopy, placing it above the porch.
The stylistic meaning of the entrance group is determined by the architecture of the house. A private house can be designed in a modern, classic or ethnic style. To decide on the choice of the most suitable entrance group, you can view the photographs, which are presented with a variety of group options.
Examples of entrance groups in a private house
What is an entrance group
Forged entrance groups
Forged entrance groups deserve special attention. Using forged elements you can create individual design porch, canopy or entrance design as a whole. Hand forged can be attributed to a certain type of art that allows you to create amazing works of metal. Many workshops carry out full cycle production - from project development to installation of finished structures.
This solution may be suitable for those who want to add individuality to their project and make their home unique. Entrance group using forged metal structures may consist not only of a porch with railings and a canopy, but also include additions in the form of benches or street lights.
The entrance group is an integral part of the architecture of any private house. The attractiveness of the entire structure, which affects the overall impression of the design of the house, will depend on its thoughtfulness. The photographs of the forged entrance groups presented in the article allow you to clearly see the beauty of this design.
In the form of a porch
The entrance to a private house should not only demonstrate the hospitality of the owners, but also be safe, convenient and comfortable for those living in the house. In the photographs you can see several options for porches, which present entrance groups with an extraordinary, creative, but at the same time practical and rational approach.
The porch in a private house may vary in style, size and shape. It may represent a variant of a closed porch using steps, or, conversely, have open view and be located flush with the ground. In the photographs you can see the most good options, which can be modified to suit your own preferences or take any idea for building your own home.
The porch, by and large, is a flat area with an adjacent staircase. It has different construction technologies in a private house and can be:
- Built-in.
- Included in the house foundation project.
- Having its own foundation.
- Made as an extension after the completion of the main construction of a private house.
- Made in the form of open steps from natural materials, such as stone.
Porch staircase must be built with a certain slope, which should not exceed 45 degrees relative to the horizon. Stairs that are located above these indicators must have a ramp and be designed in the form attached design. The porch should stand out with the beauty of its design, convenience for the owners and correspond to the main architectural design of the house.
Among the primary conditions when building a porch are practicality and convenience. By regulatory documents the depth of a step that is comfortable for a person to walk should have a depth of up to three hundred millimeters and a height of one hundred and eighty millimeters. The tread dimensions should be 450 millimeters. For the comfortable passage of one person, the width of the stairs should measure nine hundred millimeters, and for the safe passage of two people these dimensions should be increased to 1450 millimeters. We should not forget that in private construction the height of fences is not subject to strict regulations.
The construction of the upper porch area should be given Special attention. It should be fifty millimeters below the door threshold. This is due to fire safety requirements. An indicator that is often neglected in practice relates to the depth of the platform, which should be one and a half times the width of the door leaf.
Upper the podium can have different widths and, as a rule, has restrictions related to the territory of the site. The owners, if desired, can create a full-fledged terrace around the entire perimeter of the house.
Design features, size and shape of the porch
Application modern technologies when building private houses, they allow owners to realize any ideas and skillfully combine a porch of almost any shape with the architecture of the house. The porch can have the shape of a semicircle, rectangle, trapezoid, polyhedron, or combine curved lines with sharp or smooth transitions.
A porch in the shape of a semicircle can perfectly smooth out all the straight lines and angles, and also goes well with straight steps. As can be seen in the photo, this combination indicates the hospitality of the owners, provides a comfortable entrance to the house and looks very impressive. The construction material can be stone, concrete or brick.
To give the house austerity and graphics, you can make a porch in the shape of a square or rectangle. Trapezoid steps able to balance the size of the house, therefore it is more expedient to make them expanded from below and decreasing in size towards the upper platform.
The porch can be, relative to the size of the upper platform:
- A large open area with railings that can serve as a terrace.
- Without a fence, but using a canopy, the porch can serve as a patio, where the owners can meet friends in the warm season.
- When using a closed or glazed porch, it can look like a veranda.
- If there is no particular need to build a porch, then you can limit yourself to a small extension to protect the house from dust and dirt.
The height and dimensions of the porch are often taken into account the climatic conditions of residence and the terrain. On uneven areas with difficult terrain piles are often used for construction to save on complex earthworks. In areas with limited territory for construction, they often place a porch along the facade of the house or make a turning structure using several flights.
For narrow porches, staircases on the sides are often used. The justification for such structures lies in the insufficient space for building a house. Such designs provide several people with comfortable walking on the porch.
When building small and low porches, where a three-way passage is required, use a circular arrangement of steps relative to the main site. Entrance group with use for a private porch original idea, can revive the architecture of the main building.
For Finnish style houses often use a side porch extension, located under the same roof as the house. Often this design is combined with a terrace or veranda. Such construction is appropriate for small land plots, where it is not possible to build separate buildings.
Materials used in the construction of entrance groups
When developing a porch style for a private home, you should consider materials that will echo the design of the main house. You can use almost all materials for external work, which will serve not only as a technical element of the extension, but also decorative decoration Houses.
For construction, you can use stone, brick, concrete, wood and forged structures with carvings. Sometimes it is possible to create an original architectural composition by using several styles and a variety of materials for construction.
When designing the entrance group can be used non-standard solutions and skillfully combine various materials, styles, and types of porches. This approach will add sophistication, comfort, coziness and individuality to the main structure.
The appearance of the house creates the initial impression of its owners, so it is very important to design it correctly. The entrance to the house is a defined area that connects living space with the street. Let's look at how to make the entrance to the house attractive and how to decorate it further.
Options for decorating the entrance to the house
The entrance area should be designed in accordance with the architecture and exterior of the entire building. Therefore, it is necessary to very carefully select its finishing options and accessories that complement its design.
We suggest considering several options that differ in style for decorating the entrance to a private house.
When decorating a cottage, the most important thing is functionality and practicality. Among the types of private houses, cottages are the most popular. The space in front of the house, and, accordingly, the entrance part, is clearly visible from the street, which means it requires some effort in finishing it.
The location of the recreation area, games or entertainment is connected to the inside of the cottage, and the entrance area is in full view of passing people. This area looks very beautiful with a large door, a stone path leading to it, lighting and decorative elements in the form of figures located on the sides of the path. Great importance in design entrance area belongs green plants: shrubs, flowers and decorative lawns.
The number of flowers and greenery depends on the size of the area located in front of the entrance. It is possible to use solitary compositions consisting of oaks, weeping birches, apple trees, and maples. They also look beautiful Japanese trees, mountain pines or bush roses. The classic style in the design of a cottage is the presence of a green lawn, a hedge formed by lumpy plants and paths leading directly to the door.
A modern option for decorating the entrance of a private house is a combination of simple, but at the same time elegant details. Window openings made in the form of an arch, stained glass or mosaic decoration of the façade, forged grilles and railings in the porch area, asymmetrical steps - all this attracts with charm and creativity. This style is suitable for people who want to stand out from the crowd.
Entrance to a private house photo:
Art Nouveau architecture fits well with garden compositions. Distinctive feature The design of the entrance is the presence of a pre-house patio, framed by living shrubs that form a border. To design smooth lines of a flower garden, fences with forging elements are suitable. The presence of a water component is another characteristic feature of the Art Nouveau style. The design of a mirror pond, which is complemented by irises or sage, will fit well into this style. If it is not possible to build a pond, use fountains or waterfalls of various shapes and variations.
An organic addition would be the use of a forged arch in the design, garden bench, pergola - this will become a kind of connection between the entrance part and the garden.
Entrance to the house porch: style variations
The porch is mandatory element entrance part of a private house. Its function is to emphasize the beauty and integrity of the entire building. Each owner tries to decorate this part in such a way that it stands out from the general background.
The porch is, in some way, an extension, which, if necessary, is equipped with a staircase or a canopy. Since houses are always raised to the foundation level, steps are an essential component of the porch, climbing which the guest gets to the platform located in front of the door. The number of steps is calculated in such a way that a person steps with the same foot on the threshold platform with which he first stepped on the step.
To protect the porch from exposure atmospheric precipitation, a canopy is being built on its territory. Railings act as both a decorative element and perform their main functions.
The main function of the porch is to decorate the entrance of a private house, so in the process of decorating it, you should pay attention to some nuances.
For example, if the facade of the house is wooden or panel, then the porch should be trimmed with wood. When decorating the porch of a stone house, use materials in the form of glass, brick, artificial or natural stone, concrete or plastic. It is possible to combine stone finishing with wood, but such an experiment should be treated with extreme caution. To do overall design holistic and organic, use the same materials to decorate the house and porch. For example, if there is forging in the fence of the house, then decorate the porch with it too.
Don't skimp on finishing materials, since the porch is an element that influences the overall perception of the house.
Decoration of the entrance to the house photo:
We invite you to familiarize yourself with the style trends in the design of the porch. Of course, the most ideal option there will be design and finishing of the porch in harmonious combination with a common exterior. But there are other design options. In general, the choice of finishing the front entrance to a house depends entirely on the preferences and wishes of its owners.
1. Classic style The design of the porch involves the presence of a gable canopy, point railings and decorative balusters that have a rounded shape. Standard facing materials tile protrudes or decorative rock. The main features of this style are severity of taste and restraint. A moderate amount of decorative accessories: a few flower pots and a wreath on the door are the basis of this style.
2. Country style porch design suits wooden houses. Tall and spacious wooden house decorate the porch big amount decorative carvings and patterns. It is better to use hanging flowers; the railings and canopy should be exquisite. Wooden benches and a path to the door, also made of wood, will look good.
3. A porch in the form of a fortress house - immediately from the threshold it shows that the house is the support and protection of its owners. It looks like a massive structure, which is often used as decoration. natural stone. Torch lamps, forged fencing parts and lattice structures on which plants climb will add charm and richness to this exterior.
4. The European style of porch design involves regular shapes and restrained lines. In most cases, a porch of this type is small, it is lined with natural, artificial stone or ceramic tiles. A large number of garden figures, hanging and floor flowerpots, bells will add coziness, and a wicker chair and table, at which it is convenient to read a newspaper, will add a homely atmosphere.
5. Porch in french style- has similarities with the previous design option, but still differs in some subtleties. Feature of this style - availability glass door, which is decorated using an openwork lattice. Furniture made of wood or wicker will decorate the exterior. To complement the composition, use hanging flowers, bright but at the same time delicate colors.
Having familiarized ourselves with the basic stylistic techniques in the design of the entrance to a house, we will give several recommendations for improving the overall exterior of the building.
There are a large number of variations in porch design, the choice of the appropriate one depends on the owner of the house, although there are techniques that will help turn any porch into cozy place meeting guests.
If you plan to install flowers with pots, they should be installed on both sides of the door or staircase to avoid asymmetry of design. To do front entrance For more comfort and at the same time protection from the sun, use light curtains. If the porch is also a veranda, purchase comfortable garden furniture.
There is an option for constructing a porch that will serve as a patio in the form of a open terrace. If the porch area allows, then it will fit perfectly summer cuisine, on which you need to place chairs and a table. An expanded version of the porch allows you not only to welcome guests, but also provides comfortable stay in the fresh air, but at the same time close to home.
Arrangement and landscaping of the entrance to the house
Before purchasing plants that will help decorate the entrance part of the exterior, you should carefully plan their placement. The design of the entrance to the house must be developed taking into account all the smallest details. When building a new house, the entrance part is developed in conjunction with the overall project, but if the design of an existing building is intended, then it is best to do this project separately.
To begin, draw a plan of the area where the plants will be located. When choosing their types, it is better to consult with landscape designers.
The style of plants depends not only on the preferences of the owners, but also on general style building. Plants should highlight the existing style and highlight its distinctive qualities.
If you plan to arrange a front garden in front of the entrance part of the house, then you need to remember one fact - the front garden, in this case, performs two functions - it decorates the exterior and is a place near which it is possible to locate a recreation area.
Before façade wall They plant low-growing plants, which are given the desired shape by trimming. Such plants are also suitable for decorating the path leading to the entrance. In this case, they will act as a border.
There should be no feeling of asymmetry or imbalance. For example, if in front of the house, a large number of plants are planted on one side, and there are none at all on the other. Thus, the perception of harmony and balance is distorted.
There are two principles for designing the entrance of the house:
- symmetric;
- asymmetric.
The first involves planting plants and their arrangement in a certain order on both sides in the same way. This principle is quite simple and traditional. It is suitable for houses that are symmetrical in structure, in which the entrance is located in the center and there are the same number of windows on both sides.
It is possible to use asymmetry, but very carefully. This principle is based on the following example: imagine a scale with one large ball on one pan, and several small ones on the second. Try to maintain balance at all times when planning. This design is suitable for creative individuals who want to decorate their extraordinary home. To achieve the desired effect, you should work very hard to develop such a design.
The most important quality of decoration in landscape design is the attractive appearance of the created structure. The main focal point should be the entrance to the house. In addition to plants, it is advisable to use additional accessories that will help set the right focus. But you shouldn’t overload the space; it’s enough to choose the right details that will harmonize well with each other.
The most popular way to landscaping the entrance area is to frame the house with greenery. For example, tall trees are planted along the edges of the house, then shrubs and lower plants, thus creating a border that directs the visitor to the entrance area.
The main rule is to prohibit placing large and tall trees near the entrance of the house. Such plants will hide the porch behind them and shift the focus, and guests who come to the house will not immediately understand where the entrance is located.
Another mistake of improper distribution of space is placing all the plants under the walls of the house, and laying out a lawn on the remaining space. The result is a wave that leads to the division of the front section into certain zones.
In the process of planning landscape components, you should take into account the presence of:
- plant structures;
- small architectural forms in the form of a fence, path or supports.
It is prohibited to plant plants that are incompatible with each other in one area. Such a composition becomes chaotic and unbalanced. Therefore, when choosing plants, consider their type and flowering period. Also, you should pay attention to:
- soil type;
- presence of drainage;
- location in relation to the sun;

To green the entrance part of the house, try to give preference to types of plants that will decorate the exterior all year round. But this does not mean that you need to buy only conifers, buy several deciduous trees and bushes, which will gradually change according to the time of year.
Use evergreen plants to create a fresh atmosphere in winter. But you don’t need to buy a lot of these plants, as they darken general form home, and make it gloomy.
The most best choice are plants characteristic of the climate of the region in which the house is located. They will easily adapt to temperature conditions, are quite unpretentious and do not require special care.
The main function of trees is to provide shade, highlight appearance of the exterior, in a way, the trees act as a hedge that prevents the curious glances of neighbors or passing people.
Before planting trees, you should think about how much space they will take up when they grow. To soften sharp roof lines, place trees at the back of the yard. There is no need to place trees near the house, as there is a risk of damage to the foundation by tree roots.
The main component connecting trees and flowers is the bush. To make the entrance of the house welcoming. Plant shrubs so that they create a path leading directly to the house. You should not plant shrubs directly on the lawn; it is better to place it on the border areas.
To improve the visual perception of shrubs, they should be planted only in unpaired numbers. To create a non-standard design, it is recommended to plant shrubs in a wavy or arched manner.
A lawn is used to connect all the elements. This platform should be of a simple shape with no sharp edges.
Flowers are the brightest and most attractive type of decoration for the entrance of a house. It is possible to use flowers in pots, hanging arrangements or live bouquets. This is the most difficult design element. Flowers require constant care, although they bloom for several months. Choose simple color schemes that contain two or three shades. The type of flowers should be correlated with the overall style of the entrance to the house. For a classic exterior, roses in light and subdued tones are suitable. For modern style choose exotic bright plants. Do not make flowers the dominant feature of the landscape, as they will distract attention from the entrance. Flowers are an additional touch that will only emphasize the owner’s idea. The correct and well-thought-out combination of landscaping will make the entrance part spectacular and attractive, and guests coming to the house will be pleased with such a reception.
