believes that every small family has a dream of living in a mansion, living in a house of 70 to 80 square meters, but they hope that the space can be larger, can accommodate more storage, and also have partitions to realize various functions. This is a great test of our consideration of space layout.
As a owner of a small apartment, my home is an 89-square-meter two-bedroom and one-living room, facing north and south. I have lived there for 12 years now. The layout of the room is the same as when I first bought it, except that the walls were whitewashed and the floor tiles were laid on the original basis. , the foundation lines were made, the kitchen and bathroom were made with suspended ceilings, and the furniture was all purchased and finished, which can be regarded as a simple decoration among simple decorations. As we live longer, various inconveniences begin to appear in our lives. There is not enough space left for storage, resulting in items being placed randomly and looking very messy. The small bedroom faces the dark side, has dim light, and is small in size. With the bed and desk placed, the space seems a bit cramped. Furthermore, facing the white walls that have remained the same for decades, I feel a little tired of each other.
The renovation of Xiaojia has recently been put on the agenda. In order not to make the same mistakes again and to be able to complete the transformation at once, I also read a lot of related books and received a lot of new knowledge. Among the books I have read, "The Great Change of the Small Family" is my favorite. First of all, this book focuses on small apartments. The author has a clear understanding of the pain points and difficulties of small apartment owners, and proposes targeted renovation methods that are highly operable and have visible effects. Secondly, I very much agree with the author’s understanding of home. Home is equal to the house and people’s residence. The house is the hardware of the home, and the residence is the software of the person. The combination of software and hardware is a complete home. What the author wants to convey is not only how to Renovating a house is a good attitude towards life. Many people blindly pursue the decoration styles that are popular on the Internet, but they are full of inconveniences in their real lives. There are also many people who pursue the effect of model rooms and decorate their houses to be magnificent, but without the atmosphere of life at all. It should be noted that life is our own, and we should choose to please ourselves rather than others, and make home the warmest harbor rather than a capital to show off.
This book is based on one truth, three trends, six stages and eighteen passwords. This truth is that houses are for people to live in. As the urbanization rate slows down, the fertility rate urgently needs to be improved and the aging rate is approaching its peak, we have also seen three trends in the decoration of houses: large, practical and Suitable for old age.
The reason why we put the appearance of bigger in the first place is because the biggest wish of the majority of small house owners is to make the small house appear larger than before under the premise of limited area. Practicality is always a concern for owners. After all, a house is meant to be used for living, not for looking at. No matter how beautiful it is, if it cannot meet the needs of daily life, it will be labeled as being of no use. Suitable for aging is a humanized transformation made in line with the current trend of population aging. Old people and old people, everyone has parents and relatives, and they will eventually grow old. How to transform the layout of the house to be more beautiful? Comfort, allowing the elderly to spend their old age in a comfortable environment, is an issue that every child needs to consider. The six stages of
correspond to the living needs of a person's life, including the single period, the newlywed period, the parenting period, the middle age period, the empty nest period, and the old age period. Different stages have different needs for room layout, especially the three stages of newlyweds, parenting and middle age, which are the difficulties and focus of residential design. The increase in population and the demand for activity area caused by the addition of children are even more challenging for small houses. How to allow every family member to enjoy the most comfortable living condition in a limited space requires scientific house layout. Solve real-life problems.
It is said that a key opens a lock. In response to three major trends, the book also has 18 passwords to specifically solve the problems of house design. For example, if you want to make a room look bigger, you have to mention the concept of "red ruler and blue ruler". You only need a red pen, a blue pen, and a ruler, and you can draw the red ruler and the blue ruler on your house plan. The red ruler refers to the maximum sight distance in the width direction of a house, and the blue ruler represents the maximum sight distance in the depth direction of the house.These two concepts are the key to making our house look bigger. In a traditional house layout, the maximum sight distance in the width direction of a suite is most likely located in the living room. Therefore, the red ruler is equal to the net width of the living room, and the blue ruler is, in most cases, equal to the total depth of the living room plus the dining room. A large red ruler value means that the building is highly stretched and has sufficient ventilation and lighting conditions. For small and medium-sized apartments, ventilation and lighting are real luxuries. The book also provides a reference comparison of red and blue ruler parameters for different building areas. No matter from a professional or operational perspective, the things described in the book are very practical and effective.
It is a very meaningful thing to participate in it ourselves and transform our houses into warm new homes. The small house is filled with the warmth and beautiful memories of the family, so that you can have a place to rest when you are tired from running around outside. One of the lights in thousands of houses is lit for you. This is probably what a happy life is.
