The designer and his wife bought an old house of 40㎡ and spent 80,000 to install the "Dream Love House" in the hearts of countless people
has shared many cases of old house renovation with everyone. Many netizens reported that the money for decoration of is enough to buy a new house in a small county town. Renovation of most old houses is indeed very expensive. After all, the house has been disrepaired for a long time, and just demolishing the previous decoration will cost a lot of money.
When a designer bought an old house, they will definitely do it themselves. Not only can they transform the home into a decent and practical way, but they can also minimize the cost. This is what the home I introduced today - a designer couple bought an old house of 40 square meters in Beijing. The house was built in the early 1990s and has a house age of more than 30 years. The scene when I first saw the house shocked the designer and his wife. Although they had designed many old houses before, the dilapidated house is temporarily ranked first.
Surprisingly, it only cost 80,000 yuan to be renovated. This is undoubtedly the "light of hope" for friends who want to save money in decoration. The decoration is Nordic style and cannot be considered gorgeous. It is this simple design that can be the most deeply rooted in people's hearts. After all, solves house problems and creates a comfortable atmosphere is the core of this design.

Key transformation project:
Entrance
As soon as I entered the house, I felt a refreshing feeling. The entrance floor is covered with terrazzo , and it is consistently extended to the bathroom. A lateral strip is added between the wooden floor in the living room, making the transition more natural.
shoe cabinet is a light wooden tone, with four thin metal legs supporting the cabinet, leaving the bottom hanging for 15 cm. After returning home, the shoes replaced are placed directly under the shoe cabinet and are not used to go back to the switch cabinet door.
shoe cabinet design has a point worth learning from, that is, the cabinet door is made of rattan material, with small mesh holes on it, which can ensure breathability. Shoes have high requirements for breathability. If they are a closed cabinet, bacteria will grow over time, which is not conducive to health.
In addition to the shoe cabinet, changing shoe stools and full-length mirrors are also essentials. Sitting and changing shoes is much more comfortable than changing shoes while standing. Before going out, use a full-length mirror to organize your outfit to keep your overall vitality.
There is still some space on the wall, and a hook is installed. After returning home, you can hang your jacket, keys, and bags on it to free your hands.
Small ideas: hooks can also hang vines and green plants, which looks really good when hanging upside down on the wall.
bathroom
There is only one bathroom in the house, and the area is very small, which is definitely not enough. But this is not a problem for the designer. Move the bathroom washing area outside, leaving only the bathroom and toilet inside, and the space suddenly becomes larger.
Not only that, the shower and toilet also have two separate spaces, and the PVC folding door is installed, which makes the use feel better.
The slightly flawed thing is that the shower area is covered with terrazzo from the wall to the ground. Adding it to one piece makes it feel dense, which will cause some discomfort. However, this depends on personal preference, after all, you live in the house yourself.
Living Room
Living Room used to be the master bedroom, but now it has been merged with the balcony, and the functions of the dining room, kitchen and office area have been added. The walls are painted with white and mint green latex paint. Without ceiling or styling, you can save a lot of money.
sofa is a floor structure made by the designer himself. It has a width of about 1.1 meters and is covered with sponge mats. It can be used to sit and lie down. It is both a sofa and a single bed. The price of sofas on the market is thousands of yuan. The designer buys wood and hardware by himself, and the cost is only a few hundred yuan. It is a good expert in saving money.
Next to the sofa is a desk. The designer and his wife often have to work overtime at home to get manuscripts, and the desk is also a necessity. The tables and shelves are all purchased. After comparing prices from multiple sources, the prices are still very beautiful.
Kitchen and dining room
The original kitchen location is very strange. In the bedroom, it is obvious that the dynamic and static partition is unreasonable. The designer adjusted the kitchen next to the living room, and the dining room is also here, and the activity line has become much smoother. The sideboard of
is designed as a brick bar. There is no need to install a cabinet door, and the remaining curtain cloth is replaced by the remaining curtain cloth. The oven is embedded in the sideboard, leaving some space next to it for the refrigerator, and two rows of shelves are installed on the wall, everything is reasonable.
Dining table is a one-meter-long square table that can sit four people. Usually, they rely on cabinet and do not occupy a seat. After the kitchen position was adjusted, in order to save trouble and money, the designer did not change the natural gas pipeline, and directly replaced the gas stove with electric pottery furnace . The working method of the electric ceramic furnace is thermal radiation, which is different from the electromagnetic radiation generated by the induction cooker, and is healthier.
There are basically windows around the kitchen, and there is pitifully few wall space available. There is a little wall space at the intersection with the bedroom. Use hole panels for three-dimensional storage, and hang all the spatulas to free the operating table.
bedroom
The entrance to the bedroom has no door installed, and an arch shape is made and curtains are added. Isn’t this savings another amount of money? Next to the door is a set of cabinets made of Osong board , which will be cheaper and more environmentally friendly.
bedroom is designed as a floor . You don’t need to put a bed, just lay the mattress on it. Take the mattress into the cabinet during the day and take it out at night so that the bedroom during the day can be used as other functions, such as study, yoga room, etc.
The shelf on the wall is made by the designer using steel frames and wooden boards. First draw the drawings and then buy the materials. The assembly process is not complicated. After all, it is a professional. It is no problem to make this combination shelf. It only costs 600 yuan for one set. There is also a small cloakroom next to
, which has a simpler structure, with only curtains and brackets, which can be taken away for a few hundred yuan.
Balcony
The balcony next to the bedroom has many functions, including the laundry area, drying area and green planting area. Each item is designed to be relatively low and will not affect the lighting. I have a dryer at home and don’t have much clothes to dry, so I bought this folding clothes drying rack . If I don’t use it, put it aside.
There are many ways to save money when decorating. You can take a look at the cases and learn the experiences shared by designers and netizens. A good design does not have to cost a lot of money. If you use the right method, you can also build a good house with good quality and low price.
