This set of cases shared by you in this issue comes from Shanghai, which is the wedding house of a young couple. We can judge from the floor plan that this house must be very old. Because it has the typical characteristics of an old house in Shanghai - except for the large bedroom, the other spaces are very small, not only cannot be guaranteed in functionality, but also have very poor living comfort. In Shanghai, if you want to change a house after you have the first house, it will be very difficult, which means that they have to live in this house for a long time, so this pattern is very inappropriate for them. Fortunately, they met a very reliable designer. With just one small operation, the originally cramped and depressing space became transparent and practical. To be honest, I think this is the real design - to use the smallest cost to help the owner solve the problem!
Original floor plan
Floor layout
This is a 70-square-meter two-bedroom apartment, and the interior walls are basically load-bearing walls, so there are not many places that can be changed, but the designer still found the appropriate way to help the homeowner realize their ideal home - just removing the partition walls of the kitchen.
Let’s see how the designers do it!
House area
House, the originally narrow and closed living room is gone, and replaced by a bright and transparent open space. A white half-high shoe cabinet stands on the right side of the door, and there are some exquisite small decorations on it. The refreshing and tidy home environment makes people feel refreshed.

bathroom is a dry and wet separation type. On the dry area, a wooden grille is used instead of a solid wall, which not only plays a partition, but also increases the transparency of the space. The dark green bathroom cabinet is matched with the simple and elegant terrazzo tiles, creating the washing area very fresh and elegant. In the bathroom area, the light-colored terrazzo also looks very refreshing and bright.

After the partition wall of the kitchen was removed, the designer designed the original door opening into a casual bar. This design not only makes the entire space more transparent and bright, but also increases practicality and interaction, and naturally divides the kitchen and the restaurant. The dining table is located below the bar counter. Usually, the hostess cooks in the kitchen, and the male hostess can sit in the restaurant to work or accompany her, so the family atmosphere is more warm and harmonious.

Originally, because of the door opening, there were not many places where cabinets could be arranged inside. Now, after becoming an open kitchen, the utilization rate of space has been greatly improved. In addition, the bar can also undertake some of the functions of the kitchen, which has greatly improved the practicality and comfort of the kitchen. At first glance, the entire kitchen and restaurant area looks full of style, especially literary and fresh.

second bedroom, one side is sofa bed for both sitting and lying, the other side is a double workbench, and there is also a wardrobe made up of folding door and a metal hanger that can be adjusted by . The design of the entire space can definitely be called simple and practical.
or above is the panoramic effect of this house. This decoration has no intentional display of skills, no major demolition and modification, and just a small operation gives the owner a bright and refreshing home. I have to say that this is the real design. What do you think? (Photo source: Ban Lan Design)
