#EntranceSpace

1. Don’t make fully enclosed cabinet doors. If you have a lot of leather shoes and sports shoes, the smell can be imagined. It is better to consider louver doors, which are breathable and beautiful.

2. Don’t make the whole floor-standing style, leave a certain height to place slippers that you wear frequently or change when you get home;

3. Don’t choose dark colors for the dust collection area at the entrance. You will find that it is particularly susceptible to dirt after decoration! You can consider relatively light colors and decorative tiles.
