In this small world, we are keen to squeeze out a piece of the world, especially every corner of the family, and we always want to make the most of it. But how to create more living functions in a limited space, while still maintaining the comfort and warmth of home? Let's explore the case of a family of three, plus grandparents, living in a 90-square-meter house in Nanjing. It was originally designed as a two-bedroom unit, but as the number of family members increased, the living needs changed and they were in dire need of an extra room. What to do?
Faced with the limitation that the walls could not be changed, they had to turn their attention to the living room, hoping to find the answer in this space. Some people would say that the living room is the face of the family, it is not only a place for family members to gather, but also an important space to receive guests. So, how do you squeeze out an extra room without compromising the original function of the living room? The living room, the heart of family life, touches the hearts of its occupants with every change. So, the designer came up with a bold idea of splitting the living room in two, which would create a separate bedroom and connect with the balcony to bring in more natural light and fresh air.
As for the entrance to the master bedroom, they decided to move it to the living room, which not only makes it easier to enter, but also allows the bathroom to separate dry and wet, and increase the use of wardrobe area. So, how will the rest of the living room be laid out? The living room and dining room, which has eliminated the conventional audio-visual function, has been replaced by a set of comfortable booths, which not only makes the space more spacious, but also can meet the interaction between family members. The lockers above the booths extend to the ceiling, making clever use of every inch of space. But will this renovation sacrifice the beauty and comfort of the home?
In order to keep the home warm and comfortable, the designers put a lot of effort into the choice of colors and materials. The walls are painted in white latex, the floor is paved with light-colored floor tiles, and the top is designed without main lights, which not only enhances the sense of space, but also creates a clean atmosphere. The design of the shoe cabinet is equally ingenious. It is placed opposite the entrance door and the high cabinet provides lots of storage space, easily catering to the needs of the whole family. The kitchen retains the sliding door partition, which effectively realizes the separation of oil and smoke and ensures the air quality of the living room. In this small space, the designer maximizes every inch of land.
Every corner is carefully planned, and every design is well thought out. The renovated home not only meets the needs of three generations living in the same house, but also ensures the transparency and comfort of the space. In this case, we see the infinite possibilities of space transformation and feel the true meaning of home. It's not just a simple makeover, it's the perfect conversation between home and space. In this conversation, we redefined what home looks like and re-appreciated the beauty of life.
For those who are also facing the challenge of living space, this case certainly provides an innovative way of thinking about how we can create our ideal home, even with creativity and thought, even under limited conditions. In this busy modern society, home has become a haven for people to rest and relax. Every detail can affect the atmosphere of a home and even the interactions between family members. Today, we're going to talk about how an ingenious home design can achieve this goal and change the lifestyle of a three-generation family. Imagine a warm evening where the family gathers around a 1.6-metre-long dining table to enjoy a meal and chat about homely things.
It's not just a dinner, the long dining table is the centerpiece of family reunion. And the wall lamps on the other side emit a soft light, adding a touch of warmth to the dining moment. This scene may be difficult to achieve in many people's homes, but in this case, the designer cleverly made it a reality. The story of this home began with a bold decision: to completely eliminate the audiovisual function in the living room. The thinking behind this decision is that television is no longer the center of communication in the home. As a result, the designer removed all the traditional audiovisual elements while replacing the master bedroom door with the TV wall. Not even a TV cabinet is configured.
This change is not just an adjustment of physical space, it represents a change in attitude towards life, where families can get rid of the shackles of television and communicate with each other as they please. However, how to achieve the practicality of the space without compromising the overall aesthetics of the space? The answer is to use the original wood material to decorate the entire wall, and the clever design of the invisible door. This not only keeps the space neat and beautiful, but also adds a touch of mystery as if you are shuttling in a hidden secret place when entering and exiting the master bedroom. Turning to the kitchen, the space here is not spacious, but the designers have maximized storage and operation space through the clever layout of U-shaped cabinets.
Imagine that every turn is so smooth when a chef cooks here, as if every inch of space has been carefully calculated. And when it comes to bathrooms, the design of this home also reflects the attention to detail. By closing the original door opening of the master bedroom and installing a washbasin, the structure of separating dry and wet is realized, and the convenience of use is greatly improved. In a family of three generations, this consideration is particularly important. What about the master bedroom, which contrasts with the light tones of the living room, is dominated by a calm blues, creating an atmosphere of sophistication and elegance.
Particularly noteworthy is the wheat ear decoration on the bedside wall, which is not only playful, but also echoes the original wood furniture, simple yet sophisticated. For families with children, the design of the children's room is especially important. The light blue color palette creates a calm and gentle atmosphere. The bed is next to the window, which not only ensures the quality of the child's sleep, but also leaves enough space for them to move. The multi-functional design of the desk and bedside table enhances the practicality of the space. As for the second bedroom, although the area is limited, by eliminating the balcony sliding door, the space is perfectly integrated with the living room, widening the view, while the glass partition in the middle maintains the transparency of the space.
Looking back at the whole design, the most impressive thing is the layout of the living room, especially the card seat treatment of the whole wall. It not only satisfies the needs of a variety of functions, but also saves a lot of activity space. The design of the regular functions of the living room has been canceled, bringing a warm and comfortable living scene, which makes people sigh at the wonder of design and the beauty of life. The story of this home is about the perfect integration of space and life, and how to create infinite possibilities in a limited space. It reminds us that home is not just a place to live, but a space that inspires love and communication.
Every corner of this home is full of the designer's intentions and wisdom, which not only changes the appearance of a home, but also changes the lifestyle of a family.
