150. The large square house actually has only two bedrooms? What are the other areas used for? ?
has become an extra-large living room and an extra-large balcony! And they all face south, with a wide face and a long and invincible lighting!
spent only 200,000 yuan to renovate the second-hand house into the effect of a villa and luxury house. Do you really want to say:
Dear, how did you do it? !
Fay shared two major tips for saving money (quickly write it down):
1. You need to save money if you can save. You need to keep hard decorations if you can keep
Except for all the bathrooms and completely renovated, only a part of the other rooms are renovated: the living room is repainted with the floor, the balcony is replaced with the countertop, and the kitchen is replaced with the countertop...
2. You can’t hurry to buy soft decorations, even if you slowly fill in
after moving in. If you are lucky enough to encounter a special sale, it is not a dream to buy 10% to 30% off! The dining table and chairs purchased at the sale of
can be said to be the "cultivator of Nordic style decoration" and has also made "Fay" a popular IP in the Shanghai home furnishing circle. All the friends who met her praised her: Fay's Nordic style is so beautiful~~
Let's count below, how many Nordic style elements does her home have?
Believe me, after reading this article, even if you copy it, your house can decorate a pure Scandinavian style (as the saying goes, read 300 Tang poems, and you can recite them if you can't write poems~)
Entrance
1. Marble floor
In the Nordic style, jazz white marble will be used in various places such as the ground, windowsills, and cabinet countertops.
Fay If you want to reflect this element on the entrance floor, can you only shovel the original floor tiles and repave them? No, no, you have to control the cost... I wisely chose the floor sticker to perfectly imitate the hexagonal marble mosaic.
2. Brushed brass letters
The brass elements that are very popular in Nordic style often appear in small areas, one or two places, without having to add a finishing touch.
Fay's husband once studied in Germany, and the owner's name was displayed in German on the entrance wall, Herr S and Frau S, representing Mr. S and Ms. S.
copper characters are stuck on the bottom plate, and the back of the bottom plate is glued to the wall.
Living room
10 meters long and wide, with a full 50 square meters of super large space, integrating the living room, dining room and study room! Keep the original floor, refresh the walls, and make a fresh-style ceiling.
3. Black, white and gray color matching
There is no doubt that black, white and gray are the most mainstream color matching schemes for Nordic style. Fay At home, white walls, white roofs, white skirting boards, gray walls, gray window frames, gray furniture... and white cotton and linen curtains do not need to be too dark, they just need to float up thinly~
4. Molecular light
In the Nordic style, how can there be no internet celebrity molecular light? Do you think internet celebrities are just popular? naive! This horizontally stretched chandeliers just satisfies the Nordic complex of the domestic high and low floors and longing for chandeliers.
smoke-gray glass lampshade, 5 4w imitation Edison LED bulbs; the lamp pole can adjust the direction, the material is aluminum-plated copper, because Fay thinks that the copper is very heavy, so he is afraid it will fall off...
5. TV cabinet
Fay believes that the TV area has never been the focus of the living room (a comfortable sofa area is ~). Use a pure white wall to match the pure white TV cabinet to try to weaken the TV area.
TV is directly connected to WiFi, without using a box, and there is no need for storage trouble.
Someone uses the same TV cabinet, but they just can't get out. Fay's home has such a clean effect, why? Probably because the length of the TV cabinet is not enough...
Fay's TV cabinet is actually three groups of 6 cabinets, with a total length of 3.6 meters, almost the same length as the wall, forming a coherent horizontal line; if you only use one TV on top of a set of cabinets, it will be too visually focused, and it will look stingy~
6. Thin-leg furniture
You will find that Fay's Nordic furniture is all small and thin, solid wood, metal, sofa, coffee table... The thinner the legs, the lighter it feels (that is, it seems that the furniture looks good and girls look good...)
7. The marble windowsill
retains the original marble windowsill, which is the same as the former homeowner's taste, which is really lucky. The single sofa is often moved to the window to read and chat, which is convenient and comfortable.
8. Pinecone Light
Behind the sofa is the dining area. The pinecone Light (the iconic Nordic light fixture) was made up by Fay himself, and it is paired with a 2.5-meter super-long dining table, which is extraordinary.
Unfortunately, the dining tabletop is easy to scratch and paint, and it is difficult to wipe off even if it is dripping with oil stains... Fortunately, the one I picked up from the special sale is not so distressing~
9. Combination desk
Two desks, freely combined by table boards and table legs (a small and thin legs that are the favorite Nordic style~), becoming a double workspace for Fay and her husband. Fay said that the workbench is easy to get dirty and damaged, and non-solid wood desktops can be used with confidence and boldness.
10. Gray wall
uses the Nordic style favorite light gray as the background wall color, which coordinates the dark gray and white of the desk, and also emphasizes the focus of the space. After all, the 50-square-meter space will definitely be empty with white walls...
The window location has better lighting, Fay thoughtfully left it for my husband, using gray tables and chairs; his own white tables and chairs are close to each other.
At night, each person has a desk lamp, each doing his own work, occasionally looking up to take the things on the bookshelf, looking at each other, ah, I'm crying sweetly...
11. Round mirror
How can the Nordic style be without a round mirror with a thin border? Visually, the circle is softer and more complete than the square, which is in line with the minimalist concept of Nordic style.
Moreover, this is not just a mirror, but also the most beautiful view frame! The depth and breadth of the space have expanded all of a sudden~
Balcony
When you are tired of working, go to the balcony to relax and use high tables and chairs to build a small bar that Fay has always longed for.
6.5 meters of super long balcony is covered with anti-corrosion wood , so you don’t have to worry about clothes or rain. However, the gaps in anticorrosion wood are difficult to clean. If dirt falls into it, the boards should be lifted open to clean.
Kitchen
Kitchen is too small, Fay had to do his best to expand the operating area.
12. The small cart
After entering the door, it is a drinking area. There is a Nordic-style internet celebrity single product three-layer cart. It has strong storage power and is convenient to move. It is suitable for any corner of the house (some people also use it as a bedside table~)
vegetable preparation area was originally a laundry area, but there was really no place to cut vegetables in the kitchen! So I changed to a new countertop, turned into a dishwasher, and stuffed the oven and dishwasher in.
13. White brick black joints
retains the original cabinet, tiles are grouted, tabletops and sinks are replaced, cabinet bottom lights are added, and the renovation is completed. Unfortunately, the corners of the old tiles are damaged, and the black joints are more obvious after the hook is hooked...
Fay said that if you have the chance in the future, you should try to change the black joints of the white bricks that are advocated by Nordic style to white bricks and white joints to repair them. Hum~
14. Embedded refrigerator
In Nordic style, try to embed kitchen equipment into cabinets as much as possible to obtain a simple and coherent facade effect. But Fay's refrigerator was indeed unable to be stuffed into the kitchen, so he had to be embedded in the storage cabinet in the living room.
My husband is very happy. When watching TV, it is more convenient to eat and drink...
Main bedroom
15. White household appliances
Style reinforcement requires the same items to be unified as much as possible, such as furniture uses thin legs, cabinets use the same cabinet door... But what about home appliances from different brands? If the style is difficult to unify, just unify the colors.
The white oven and dishwasher in the kitchen are already very special. When you enter the master bedroom, you find that even the TV is white.
16. Neon lights
is not only an important prop for contemporary art, but also the status of neon lights in the Nordic decoration industry cannot be shaken.
The neon light above the dressing table is the word "nacht", which represents the "night" in German. The lights are like a dream. I hope the owner can sleep well every night.
leads to both sides of the main bathroom, and is an open cloakroom with white cabinet doors, spotlights and bookshelf installed, and the renovation is completed.
17. White bricks and white joints
How to achieve the Nordic style white wall in a humid bathroom? Use white bricks and white joints. The main bathroom has matte white wall tiles, whitening the seams, which looks no different from the white wall paint at first glance.
The large bathroom cabinet with double basins is left by the front home owner, with a strong storage capacity; curtains made of shower curtains protect privacy without fear of water~
uses a wall-mounted toilet, which is suspended below, which is convenient for cleaning; build a fake wall to hide the water tank. Reserve water for loading and drainage, install a wall-mounted washing machine, and wash small clothes at any time, which will greatly free your hands.
18. Elm board
Nordic style prefers rustic, natural textured wood. Fay uses an old elm to bring the Nordic forest atmosphere into the home.
For future maintenance, there is no solid building above the fake wall, so it is covered with elm boards and sealed with silicone. The windowsill is also processed in the same way, and some commonly used objects are placed, both decorative and practical.
times guard
times guard is the work that is completely in line with Fay's wishes, and the frequency of use is much higher than that of the main guard.
has only a small space of 2.5 square meters, separated by dry and wet shower room, dry area wash basin and toilet are all wall-mounted, and the mirror cabinet is as wide and deep as the wall-mounted fake wall, and the storage capacity is maximized.
Check-in time is getting longer and there are more and more things, but Fay said that he likes this home more and more. Because every item is selected in a thousand ways, the current works are polished.
Therefore, again, Fay’s secret to saving money: buy soft furnishings, don’t, hurry.
