I wonder if you have noticed that many houses are a bit "over-decorated". There are a lot of complex shapes and decorations, but the effect of decoration is always almost interesting. Until I saw her 100㎡ home, I found that the more simple the hard decoration is, the more advanced it is. Moreover, the effect of soft decoration is super tasteful and not luxurious, but it is a role model for many families.
The female homeowner is Taiwanese, settled in Norwegian , and bought a 100㎡ apartment with her husband. The house is about 85 years old, with a 2 bedroom, 2 living rooms and 2 bathrooms, with a storage room of about 7㎡ and two balconies.
chose this house because it is close to the workplace and can be walked home from the city; on the other hand, it is because the house itself has a good foundation of hard decoration, mainly light tones, the kitchen and bathroom are in good condition, and the floor is wear-resistant and without damage, so it is not necessary to redecorate it.
The original hard decoration of the house is very simple. The living room, dining room and kitchen are covered with wood grain tiles, open space, large white walls, no main light design, living and dining room without storage cabinets, light colors, it is durable and not easy to get out of style.
The original living room
The living room after soft decoration
Why is it said that the simpler the hard decoration, the more advanced it is? Because it is simple and pleasing to the eye, and it is very versatile, just like the black and white combinations in clothing matching. After the addition of some colorful soft furnishings, the high-end effect will be immediately revealed.
Like her living room, paired with blue sofas and light khaki curtains, and with some log furniture, the fashionable and warm home atmosphere comes out.
If you are tired of seeing it, change the color of the curtains or sofa later, it is like changing the color of the new home. It has different living experiences and freshness. You can change it at will according to the needs of different periods, which is the same as changing clothes.
If the hard decoration is too complicated, if you want to change your style in the future, you will be limited everywhere, and the effort and cost may be more.
The decoration feature of Nordic houses is: the public space is very spacious and there are few custom cabinets because there is a storage room for centralized storage. For example, her home has a 7㎡ walk-in storage room, which can store a lot of items in a centralized storage room, so there is no need to make a custom cabinet in the living room, and the entire space looks particularly spacious.
Kitchen
For families who like to cook, the most things should be kitchen supplies, so the kitchen space should be stored enough. Like her home, in addition to floor cabinets and hanging cabinets, there is also an island counter that can add a lot of storage space to make it an open plan, and there is more interaction between family members, which is not as depressing as a small kitchen.
sideboard Select the finished cabinet and place the tableware sent by relatives or friends, making it a beautiful scenery at home.
bedroom
bedroom is a place to sleep and rest. The simpler the more it is, the more helpful it is to sleep. Just put on a comfortable double bed. Her bedroom can also see the green scenery outside through the window, which is very healing.
bathroom
The master bedroom has a bathroom, and large light-colored tiles are chosen on the walls and floors, which has a seamless feeling like micro-cement, and is also durable to look, dirt and not easily obsolete.
Studio
There is a small sofa in the studio. You can lie down and rest when you are tired.
Balcony
The advantage of not sealing the balcony is that it is closer to nature, and it feels like being in an outdoor space. I usually enjoy a candlelight dinner here, which is so romantic.
After visiting this case, in addition to knowing the importance of " light and hard decoration and heavy soft decoration ", there is another important knowledge point, which is " is a process of slowly creating after moving in ".
Many people like to decorate in one step. After moving in, they find that many things should not be bought or are not practical. If you adhere to the concept of " is a process of slowly creating after moving in ", first place a bed in the bedroom, and slowly feel every corner of the home after moving in, think carefully about how to use these spaces, what kind of furniture should be matched, and then buy furniture after thinking it through. The home you decorate in this way is what you want.
