all say that the decoration of a new house should be based on your own space needs, but without a period of living experience, it is really difficult to find it accurately. After all, life itself is trivial, and no matter how beautiful your ideas are, they will catch up with changes that are not practical.
So how should we position ourselves when decorating? The following homeowner's approach may provide you with some reference. In order to accurately find his space needs and not leave any regrets, the homeowner lived in the house for two years before starting the official renovation. I have to say, this approach is really clever.
Floor structure diagram
This case is located in Chengdu, with an area of 70 square meters. The owner is a young and artistic man who currently lives alone. Regarding the expectations of the new home, the homeowner hopes that it will be young, interesting, and personalized, and will tend to lead a free and unrestrained lifestyle .
’s original house type was a two-bedroom apartment, and the overall structure seemed quite satisfactory, but in fact there were quite a few problems. For example, the entrance is crowded, the bathroom is compact, the balcony and kitchen are underused, etc. Therefore, in order to create a high-quality residence, some adjustments were made to some spatial structures.
floor plan
Based on the existing space conditions, the layout is modified as follows
1. The kitchen wall is retreated to increase the use area of the entrance and dining room.
2. The kitchen door opening is adjusted to the entrance side to make the living flow more reasonable.
3. Move the bathroom cabinet outside to relieve the internal space pressure.
4. An independent housekeeping area is added to the balcony to make the area allocation more reasonable.
Before renovation
Although the owner moved in for two years before starting the formal renovation, this suite was also benefited from a simple renovation before, so it fully meets the conditions of moving in first and then renovating.
Entrance
When the kitchen wall retreated, an open entrance area was immediately opened, changing the previous congestion and occlusion. The shoe cabinet extends to the top, and the middle and bottom of the cabinet are hollowed out, which not only facilitates the storage of small items when entering the door, but also visually reduces the heaviness of the cabinet.
When the kitchen door opening is changed to the entrance, it not only makes the flow of life more reasonable, but also plays a role in guiding light to the entrance area to a certain extent, and creates a hazy aesthetic visually.
The entrance floor is paved with terrazzo floor tiles separately, which not only facilitates care in daily life, but also strengthens the existence of dust-falling areas, thus making the interior more tidy and clean.
Restaurant
Through the entrance is the restaurant. Since the kitchen has been reduced, the area of the restaurant has been indirectly expanded, making the living experience more comfortable. When there is only one person living at home, choosing a small round table can also save area and improve the fluency of life activities.
Taking advantage of the expanded space of the restaurant, a set of integrated sideboards were added to one side to facilitate daily drinking water and the use of small electrical appliances. In addition, the refrigerator is built-in, which relieves the space pressure in the kitchen.
Living room
The living room reduces complexity to simplicity and restores the purity and freedom of the space by leaving blank space. In particular, the elimination of the traditional sofa and the addition of two bean bags fully reflect the homeowner's pursuit of a free life.
Cancel the sliding door of the south balcony and pave the floor with herringbone parquet flooring . This not only maximizes the visual sense, but also adds a touch of rhythm and vitality to the space, making the space look less monotonous.
There is a small detail here that is great, that is, the ceiling between the living room and the balcony is transitioned in an arc, which can make the space appear smoother and smoother, and completely break through the boundaries of the space.
TV background wall adopts a common integrated cabinet design, which not only makes the space more organized, but also meets the needs of daily storage. At the same time, the bottom of the cabinet is suspended, which is very convenient whether it is used to place storage frames or for cleaning with a sweeping robot.
kitchen
Due to the limitation of the bay size, the kitchen only designed a set of L-shaped cabinets , but it also satisfied the humanized cooking flow. The folding windows designed at the original door opening also break some unnecessary boundaries, making the space more transparent and bright.
Bathroom
The design of the basin cabinet in the bathroom is a highlight of the space. The suspended structure is directly connected to the sideboard next to it, which not only ensures the functionality, but also takes into account the appearance and personality, and effectively relieves the internal space pressure.
The interior design of the bathroom is relatively conventional, but the independent shower room, four-sided drainage sink floor, and alcove design also optimize the comfort of use while making full use of the space.
Housekeeping area
The housekeeping area is planned using part of the balcony area to meet the needs of daily washing and drying, as well as the storage of tools and sundries, without affecting the cleanliness of the living room at all.
Master bedroom
The master bedroom is mainly made of wood and white tones, which can make the space atmosphere more refreshing and warm. The storage area designed using the bay window sill on the left and the hollow partition area designed using the wardrobe on the right also cleverly make up for the lack of space for placing bedside tables.
nd bedroom
th bedroom has a traditional tatami design, which is quite powerful in terms of storage capacity and functionality. At the same time, the cabinet doors are designed without handles, which also enhances the overall texture.
will share this case here. Compared with the decoration before the renovation, although the effect is relatively average, it is practical everywhere. Therefore, friends who have the conditions can also refer to the decoration ideas of the homeowner, which is quite clever.
