decorates a small apartment, I believe many people will design a large number of storage cabinets for their home to ensure that the space will be neat and tidy in the later life. But in fact, storage space is only one aspect. The most important thing is to have a good lifestyle. After all, no matter how much storage space you have, it is limited, and there will be more and more clutter.
This set of small house cases brought in this issue can be called a “renovation model”. The whole house not only has complete spatial functionality in terms of layout, but also has been optimized to the greatest extent in terms of living experience. Combined with the owner's self-disciplined lifestyle, even if the space is full of clutter, it is still well organized, which is very admirable.
Floor plan
The new house is located in Beijing, with an area of 76 square meters and a one-bedroom and one-living room layout. The owners are a young couple. Regarding the needs of the new home, the owner hopes to have two rooms to provide more changes for different living needs in the future. At the same time, you need enough storage space to meet your storage needs for a large number of figurines. Of course, the quality of living is also indispensable.
From the perspective of the original house type, although the overall layout is very neat, there are also some structural defects. For example, there is a useless partition wall in the master bedroom, the balcony is poorly utilized, there is no entrance hall, etc. Therefore, some corresponding structural adjustments were also made during the renovation.
floor plan
The space layout transformation is as follows
1. A small room is planned on the left side of the entrance, which not only realizes the function of a two-bedroom, but also extends a entrance area.
2. The kitchen extends to the balcony outside, and the position of the door opening is adjusted so that the area can be fully utilized.
3. The meaningless partition wall was removed from the master bedroom, and it was also extended to the balcony outside, and a dressing room was extended.
4. The bathroom is separated from wet and dry areas to make life more convenient.
Entrance
After planning a small room on the left side of the entrance, glass bricks were selected as wall partitions. Not only did it create a dreamy hazy feeling under the light, but it also improved the permeability of the space.
Some people may say that it would be more practical to use cabinets as partitions. In fact, for small apartments, using cabinets to separate walls can indeed increase the storage capacity of the space. But in the case of a small room with a small opening, using cabinets will make it look very crowded. As mentioned above, even in small apartments, homeowners want to have a comfortable living experience.
Opposite the entrance, a partition is also designed with glass, and paired with a set of low cabinets, it not only forms a natural display area, but also maximizes the lighting in the entrance area. Of course, the texture of Changhong glass itself also brings high appearance performance. The basic storage at home is solved through the cabinet on the right side of the door.
Restaurant
Through the entrance is the restaurant. The overall tone is gentle milk coffee color, and is embellished with a little Chinese red. It is not only stunning but not eye-catching, but also creates a healing and comfortable living atmosphere. As for the furniture configuration, in order to reduce the cramped feeling of the space as much as possible, a dining table with arc corners also indirectly improves the smoothness of the moving lines.
Considering that the homeowner has a large number of figurines that need to be stored, the storage cabinets on the side are mainly designed for display function. When it comes to the storage of figures, there is one detail that deserves praise, that is, every figure on display has been carefully selected by the owner to maximize its integration with the space.
Living room
Looking from the dining room to the living room, although the space area is not large, when the sliding door partition was removed from the south balcony and the top surface was designed without main lights, it also expanded the transparency of the space while minimizing the It reduces the complexity of the space, thereby making the space more tidy and neat.
The TV background wall and sideboard adopt an integrated design, which not only has super storage capacity, but also is visually neat. At the same time, the hollow part of the cabinet is decorated with Chinese red elements, which once again plays a finishing touch.
The coffee-colored leather sofa, the artistic full-length mirror, and a smiling face painting immediately create a warm atmosphere without losing its sophistication. Abandoning the conventional coffee table and covering the floor with a carpet also gives life more variety.
balcony
After the south balcony is separated, the space area is fully utilized. The existence of clothes dryer has freed up space. This allows the space to achieve a subtle balance between daily housekeeping, leisure, and expanding the sense of space.
Kitchen
In order to make full use of the space, the door opening of the kitchen was adjusted to the balcony. Although the circulation line in the dining and kitchen area is extended, it has no impact at all on the homeowner couple who cook less frequently. The high-gloss bricks on the wall also play a role in brightening the space under the refraction of light.
bathroom
bathroom is designed to separate dry and wet areas based on the original space, optimizing the user experience to the greatest extent. Various integrated cabinet designs have once again supplemented the storage capabilities of the home.
Master bedroom
The master bedroom continues the tone of the outside, and is set off by warm lighting, making it warm and comfortable. At the same time, the selection of soft products with different saturations also plays a role in strengthening the spatial hierarchy.
The Internet-famous side table configuration next to the bedside has a very powerful storage capacity and is flexible in daily life. For example, if you move it to the balcony, it will immediately become a small leisure table.
After the balcony outside was included, lockers and dressing tables were designed on both sides. At the same time, the door opening is processed in an arc shape, which also plays a role in weakening the boundary.
secondary bedroom
The small room designed by the secondary design can be said to incorporate various cartoon elements. Although the area is relatively small, it also meets a variety of functions. For example, study rooms, children's rooms, guest rooms, etc. can all be changed according to actual life needs.
Looking at the entire case, in addition to the neat and impressive storage, the space layout is also very clever. In particular, the treatment of the entrance hall, second bedroom, and balcony highlights practicality. So friends with the same apartment type can also use it as a reference, which is really good.
