It can be said that subtractive decoration that cuts out the complex and simplifies it has become a design trend. However, many people still have a misunderstanding that this trend is only suitable for modern minimalist style or other relatively simple styles, such as American, European, Chinese, etc. This kind of pursuit of grand and elegant style will not work. It requires a lot of shapes and precious materials. In fact, this design trend of cutting out the complex and simplifying it is actually applicable to any style. The effect is not only difficult to overturn, but also economical and affordable. And beautiful and generous.

is like the case to be shared in this issue. It is located in Shandong. The owners are a young couple born in the 1990s. Because they like the elegant and romantic features of modern American style, they use this as their style and reject the "over-decoration" of and . Thinking of the results, it has become a textbook in the home furnishing industry. It is really tasteful. If you don’t believe me, let’s take a look.

Floor plan

Original floor plan

According to the owner, this is a house with a built-up area of ​​131 square meters and an apartment of 109 square meters. The floor plan has four bedrooms, two living rooms and two bathrooms. The above is the original floor plan. Due to the lack of floor plan, structural changes have been made. I can only describe it orally as follows:

• 1. The kitchen is too small, so in order to expand the capacity, the small balcony adjacent to it on the right side is opened;
• 2. The living room runs across to the south bedroom, which is used as a children's room. In order to expand the latter, this part of the space is sealed off. Go in;
• 3. The north bedroom adjacent to the master bedroom was changed into a dressing room.

As for other detailed changes, let’s take a closer look through real-life pictures.

Entry

This project does not have an independent entrance. Based on this, the owner set up a set of half-height shoe cabinets perpendicular to the sofa wall in the living room on the left hand side of the entrance to accommodate the storage of commonly used shoes without affecting the lighting too much. In addition, a finished shoe-changing stool is placed on the left side.

It should be added that in order to save money, the homeowner only replaced the mechanical lock with a smart lock instead of replacing the entry security door. However, in this way, the dark red effect looks too old-fashioned and does not match the decoration style. Based on this, the homeowner used tools to change it to cream color, which made it look much more comfortable.

Living room

Enter the door, turn left and bypass the shoe cabinet to reach the living room in front of you. In terms of decoration, although the style is modern and simple, the effect is not complicated. For example, in terms of styling, only a double-eyelid ceiling with embedded downlights is used to avoid monotony, and at the same time, it auxiliary lighting and enhances the atmosphere. Others, such as the sofa wall and TV wall, are all It is simply decorated with plaster lines, and combined with simple and high-looking soft furnishings, it has an elegant, romantic, yet warm and healing effect.

What needs to be added is that the brass crystal chandeliers and TV cabinets, etc., all inject a touch of luxury and sophistication into the space.

Now let’s compare the effects before and after the decoration to help you sort it out.

then came to the balcony. It can be seen that a partition design is adopted here, that is, a set of floor-type low cabinets are set up on the left side that can serve as card seats. Later, tables and chairs can be placed as a leisure area. After all, sitting by the window, whether it is brushing It is very comfortable to read a book on your mobile phone or take a nap. The space on the right side of the balcony is mainly a living area. The top is a wall cabinet for storing sundries, and the bottom is a washing machine cabinet with a built-in washing machine and dryer. In short, it is very functional. powerful.

In addition, you can find that the entire living room, dining room and balcony are paved with floor tiles. Coupled with the abundant lighting and excellent views brought by the balcony floor-to-ceiling windows, the public space appears very bright.

restaurant

came to the restaurant.The biggest highlight of the entire decoration is the custom-made sideboard on the left. After all, the zigzag molded door, coupled with the exquisite brass handle, not only looks beautiful and elegant, but also has a sense of hierarchy, and is also particularly powerful. For example, in the middle While reserving the hollow area, sockets have also been installed in advance, so that many frequently used small appliances, such as electric kettles and coffee machines, can be placed directly here for use without having to always run to the kitchen. Greatly improve the convenience of life.

As for furniture, just place a white slate dining table with four simple dining chairs, without too much decoration.

Standing in the dining room and looking at the living room, plus the kitchen, the three spaces can be connected into a north-south axis, thus forming a transparent pattern of mutual convection.

Kitchen

As mentioned before, the kitchen became as spacious as it is now because of the opening of the small balcony adjacent to the right side. As for the layout, it is an L-shaped console on the left + a white refrigerator on the right. As for the decoration, the matcha-colored molded door cabinets with brass handles are mainly used, paired with quartz stone countertops and gray ceramic tiles. This clean and tidy scene really makes people feel extremely comfortable.

Now let’s sort out the effects before and after the kitchen decoration.

Corridor

The door on the left side leads to the children's room, and the opposite corner connects the master bedroom, multi-functional room and guest bathroom.

Children's Room

Here we first look at the children's room as the south bedroom. In terms of decoration, this room continues the previous style, with double-eyelid side hangings embedded in downlights as the main feature, and a bedside background wall decorated with plaster lines. This looks simple and elegant. At the same time, the background color of the bedside wall is mainly gray-blue, coupled with the brass wall lamps on both sides and childlike and lively decorative paintings, it creates a clean, refreshing, warm and generous atmosphere.

The other side is mainly a wardrobe. Of course, simple and beautiful furniture and soft and comfortable bedding are also good.

The other side is the balcony extending from the living room. After being enclosed in the children's room, it can be used as an exclusive activity space for the children, such as the climbing frame currently placed.

Compare the effects of the children's room before and after the renovation.

Master bedroom

Come to the master bedroom. The hard decoration here, whether it is the ceiling or the bedside wall, has continued the previous style. I won’t go into details. The main thing is that the color matching should be more elegant, and the furniture should be more grand. But it's not exaggerated.

As for the other side, there is a finished cabinet placed at the end of the bed, which is mainly used to store daily items.

This is the second bedroom to the north adjacent to the master bedroom. Considering that the permanent population is a family of three, the owner connected the two rooms and set up a separate dressing room that he wanted.

You can compare the effects before and after the transformation.

Functional room

The owner of the other north bedroom set it up as a toy room, so he built a row of toy cabinets under the opposite window. On the right side, a sofa bed is placed, which can be used as a temporary guest room in case of guests.

Bathroom

Finally, there is the bathroom. In terms of decoration, light gray ceramic tiles are used throughout, coupled with clean aluminum gusset ceiling , which lays the foundation for a fashionable and neat tone. In addition, because the space is not large, the bathroom does not have a shower room, but a shower curtain is used instead. As for the washbasin, the use of slate countertop + ceramic bottom basin is also very effective.
