Unlike us Chinese who would rather bear a loan for 20 to 30 years to buy a house, I found that many young people abroad are more inclined to rent. The case shared with you in this issue is the before and after renovation of a rental house.
Before renovation
Before renovation
Before renovation
This is a one-bedroom apartment with a usable area of 36 square meters. Before renovation, the situation inside the house was as shown above.
The owners of the house are a young couple. Although they rented the house, they did not want to be too content with their lives, so they specially hired a designer to help them renovate it, hoping to make it more convenient and modern, suitable for the lives of young people and aesthetic. Of course, the prerequisite for these transformations is that too much cost should not be invested.
Original house plan
Floor plan
Therefore, we can see from the original house plan and floor plan above that except for the bathrooms, which have all been renovated, the indoor layout has basically remained unchanged, and the cloakroom in the bedroom is also simple to use. It is separated by two partitions, but all the functions needed for daily life are still missing. As for the interior decoration and furnishings, just follow me and take a look below.
Entrance
Entrance
The entrance is an independent entrance area. The designer arranged a cabinet, a shoe cabinet and a wardrobe on the left and right sides of the entrance, which is enough to meet their storage needs for the entrance area, and the entrance door Mirrors, while being practical, can also play a role in magnifying and brightening the visual space. The key is that they do not take up space, so they kill three birds with one stone.
Bathroom

They removed the original bathtub in the bathroom and replaced it with a shower room. Not only did the indoor space become brighter, but the saved space can also be used to arrange other functions. For them, this is The layout is much more practical than the previous layout. Warm-toned tiles are also warmer and more textured than the previous white tiles.
Kitchen and dining room

Kitchen and dining room
The kitchen and dining room consist of a U-shaped cabinet and a widened countertop, forming a bar-style dining and kitchen area. The surrounding walls are composed of wallpaper with pleasant wave patterns and wall stickers imitating marble tiles , which not only enhances the temperament of the entire space, but also increases practicality and facilitates later maintenance.

The living room also uses the least cost to give the interior a new look. The TV background wall uses artistic wallpaper that imitates the gypsum brick wall, while the other walls use wavy wallpaper, paired with a blue sofa and an IKEA TV cabinet, which is fashionable, simple and individual.
The window frame in the living room is decorated with wooden boards, and the window sill has been widened into a deck. The heating pipe under the window sill is also hidden with wooden strips. At a glance, it looks particularly warm and natural, and it is in harmony with the beautiful view from the window. It is a very pleasant place to drink tea, read a book and bask in the sun.
Cloakroom
Cloakroom
There is no special customized wardrobe in the cloakroom. Instead, this simple storage unit is used that is easy to disassemble and assemble. This storage form is cheap, practical, space-saving, and can be taken away in the future.

In the bedroom, the textured beige wallpaper, paired with linen bedside backrest and curtains, make the interior very warm. Although the space is not large, it is not big at all. It makes people feel depressed, and the green plants and lights make the interior fresh and energetic.
After seeing the comparison pictures of this house before and after the renovation, you should have summarized a feature. Except for the kitchen and bathroom, the decoration in other areas is very simple, and can be taken away in the future. It is basically based on the requirement to improve the quality of life, and only spent a small budget, but the overall effect is really good, fashionable and simple And has personality. What do you think?
