The Nordic style is refreshing and a little cold, the retro style is full of charm and a little too complicated... So, why not mix several styles, each with its own strengths, may be able to "reconcile" a cup of hot cocoa-like beauty.
The protagonist of today's transformation is the house in Shanghai, according to the aesthetics of the owner, nordic mix and match retro elements, a little elegance, two points of nostalgia, a little gentleness, just the right richness is the "dream love house" that the owner expects.
Let's take a look at this cocoa-colored retro space
Original unit type
More traditional 134㎡ three bedrooms, two halls, one kitchen and two bathrooms, the original apartment type is very righteous, the north and south are transparent, and the functional structure does not need to be changed too much.
Floor plan
The designers mainly made two adjustments to improve comfort:
1. The span of the restaurant is relatively cramped, and after the small balcony is opened, the island platform is added to effectively improve the utilization rate of horizontal space;
2, the master bedroom space is limited, the owner of the house requires to be able to put down the cat climbing frame. If you add a large wardrobe, it is inevitable to be depressed, so the use of the concave chicken rib space in the master bedroom aisle to create a cloakroom, liberating the bedroom space.
porch
Three hooks are seemingly randomly dotted next to the entrance door, and the old shape hints at the overall retro tone.
The home is a place to digest emotions, and the owner of the house wants to walk into the door to suddenly open up, so there is no unnecessary shelter and trivial decoration at the entrance.
Directly opposite the entrance is a simple retro entry cabinet, with a chandelier, to build a delicate and aesthetic end view, laying the basic style of zero pressure light retro space.
The living room looks out onto the porch
The entrance hall into the living room is equipped with arched doors, which not only visually enhance the height of the floor, but also make the atmosphere softer.
The arched door opening guides the transformation and progression of the space, so that the space has more layers and a sense of ceremony.
Living room
With the change of concept, more and more family living rooms have changed from "showing to guests" to "using them for themselves".
The living room of this home has abandoned the "TV as the core" and adopted a furniture arrangement that breaks through the traditional enclosed furniture, setting off the characteristics of leisure and casualness.
Sitting around and chatting and drinking tea, the sense of gathering is stronger, so that the living room truly becomes a place for family interaction and communication.
Fishbone parquet flooring with large areas of white walls, the overall shape of the warm and refreshing feeling. The "base makeup" is clean enough to make it easier to match all kinds of soft decorations, and will not produce a contrary or too complicated effect.
The beige walls are laid out with a nostalgic atmosphere, and the retro cocoa furniture in different shades is like a time filter.
The velvet single person has its own warm feeling, you can imagine sitting alone in the quiet of the dusk or night, sitting alone next to the paper cup shape floor lamp, flipping through a book...
A neat stack of books sits in the center of the fireplace.
The other single seat is made of avocado green, which is also made of velvet. The two single-seat pillows are embroidered with the same color, and the embroidery products always exude a humanistic feeling.
At this angle, you can see the entrance and the restaurant, and the fishbone floor is paved, which visually plays an extended effect.
restaurant
The original span of the restaurant is relatively cramped, and after the designer opens up the adjacent small balcony, an island platform is added, which effectively improves the utilization rate of horizontal space and is more open and transparent visually.
The island platform comes with its own operation and storage space, and at the same time carries the function of the sideboard, which can be described as powerful and also shares part of the functions of the kitchen.
In addition to the partial ceiling for the installation of the central space, the ceiling is as bare as possible, and the custom simple large curvature gypsum line is customized.
The arch shape improves the visual height, making the space appear taller and more feminine, and also echoes the arched door opening in the living room.
Simple, unpretentious restaurant, is a two-person three-meal four seasons, is a bunch of beer and a group of friends, is to taste food, enjoy life, is the place where many good things happen.
The owner of the house is the meow master of the tiger's brain.
Master bedroom
The aisle looks into the restaurant
The aisle leading to the master bedroom is also equipped with arched doorways.
The master bedroom has limited space and the owner wants to be able to put down the cat climbing frame. If you use the conventional method to set up a wardrobe in the bedroom, it will make the space particularly cramped.
There is a concave chicken rib space in the master bedroom aisle, which can be used to create a cloakroom and free up the bedroom space.
The owner of the house does not like the thickness of the curtain, so all the windows in the home are built-in louvers, with curtains on the outside, practical and beautiful.
Against the background of the beige space, sunlight shines through the gauze curtains, just like the sunset afterglow when the sky will not darken, covering the home with a warm yellow halo.
The owner of the house has a preference for watching TV in the bedroom, so there is a TV set at the end of the bed, and a solid wooden bench is simply placed at the bottom to serve as a TV cabinet, and the bohemian carpet is laid out, and the corner is also very beautiful.
Main Guard
The main bathroom continues the overall cocoa color scheme, the walls are painted with micro-cement with full texture, and the light beige color shows the retro feeling to the fullest.
A separate bathtub was added to meet the needs of soaking baths, and the half-wall tiles were beautiful and avoided water stains wetting the walls. A glass chandelier hangs above the bathtub, making the bath a "immersive" treat.
Hardware detailing and gold accents reveal a little luxury.
Second bedroom
The second bedroom is different from the master bedroom's low-key plain, fresh and enthusiastic floral wallpaper to seize the visual focus, creating a more distinct jumping mood.
kitchen
The kitchen continues the overall fashionable retro style, green cabinets and tiles are like walking into a small forest, retro fresh and fashionable elegance, bringing more vitality and vitality to this warm and nostalgic home like an old photo.
Due to the limited space area and compact functional layout, the U-shaped table with the largest utilization rate is adopted.
Like the retro style, and do not want to be too complicated, then you can refer to today's family's thinking ~ hard decoration on the simplification, mainly through furniture, lamps, accessories and other small area of soft decoration, easy to create a retro atmosphere.
Time is gentle, not hurried and slow, fashion trends will always change and repeat, no need to deliberately follow the crowd, retro nostalgia has its own charm.
