每当和新客户交谈时，我们都会询问他们对新家的愿景和需求。大部分的人都想要功能性很强的厨房、宽敞的客厅和惊艳的主卧。但过去几年中，越来越多的客户在交谈中会向玄关提出要求。如果你也想在你的多伦多豪宅里设置玄关，那请继续往下读。 玄关的定义？ 玄关在东亚的传统家居中和定制别墅中的“泥土房”相对应，指的是进门时脱鞋脱外套的一段空间，这样屋外的尘土不会被带进室内。 在空间比较紧凑的多伦多定制别墅中，玄关具有多重功能，这个空间不但起到了储藏室外鞋履的功能，也能够收纳体育用具，各种书包手袋和额外的家居用品。很多人常常把豪宅中的洗衣房设置在玄关处，和泥土房合二为一。 设置玄关的好处？ 设置玄关的好处很多，而且你可以根据自己家庭的需求来设计它。玄关可以为外套、鞋履和户外用品提供收纳空间，很多有孩子的家庭还在玄关处设计孩子可以放书包的空间，这样在早上上学前不会引起到处找东西的混乱。 除了收纳空间外，泥土室还能起到隔断室外空间和室内空间的作用，这样风尘仆仆回家时，室外的尘土不会被带进您的定制豪宅中——尤其在多伦多的冬季，雪靴往往带着雪水和泥土，在玄关初脱下鞋能够保证家中整洁。 为什么玄关很受欢迎？ 玄关并不是新概念，非要说的话他们是一种重新受欢迎的旧风潮。从前，泥土室的设置很普遍，尤其在交通不太发达的郊区和农村，没有铺好的道路，人们需要将他们带泥的靴子留在室外；在1980年左右，玄关这种空间渐渐成为定制别墅中更正式的空间。 设置的最大好处是它可以适应不同家庭的需求。没有空间设置额外的洗衣房？没关系。需要空间收纳你丈夫的户外用品？当然可以。想让孩子的学校用品更加整洁？玄关也可以做到。 考虑增加一个玄关？ 如果你在考虑增加一个玄关，可以想一下最常使用家中的哪个出入口。对大多数家庭来说，最常使用的入口可能不是大门，这也是为什么玄关有时候会设置在边门、后门或者车库门旁。当然设置在前门也是可以的。 在定制别墅中加上玄关设计的关键是要先确定它的功能。如果你需要设计玄关，或是建造你理想中的多伦多豪宅，可以随时联系我们!Read More
