In this fast-paced and high-pressure era, people's pursuit of quality of life is getting higher and higher. Minimalist and fresh minimalist style prevailed for a while, and it seemed to be an ideal choice for urban living. However, not all minimalism can give people a comfortable living experience. Because, in life, some clutter is often needed to fill the space and give life temperature. It is against this backdrop that we see an ingenious design of living spaces that perfectly blends personality and function, as well as style and comfort. Next, I'll take you inside this space and reveal the story behind it.
The story of this house's renovation began with the family's small desire to have a living environment that would reflect their contemporary aesthetic and adapt to their lifestyle. After all, home is not only a place to live, but also a living space with a story and warmth. The owner of the house is a very caring person. Their home was originally a two-bedroom, two-living room and two-bathroom layout, with a total area of 110 square meters. However, with the passage of time and the changes in the needs of family members, the original space layout can no longer meet their living needs.
The children are about to enter the door of primary school, and they feel that it is time to give their children a new living environment. At the same time, due to the lack of storage space, the home always seemed cluttered, so they decided to carry out a second space renovation. After considering the needs of family members, the direction of space renovation gradually became clear. They wanted to make the home more fulfilling and welcoming without losing the modern and pop elements. One of the highlights of the renovation was to convert the two-bedroom into a three-room apartment so that parents could have a separate space for occasional visits, while also meeting the office needs of family members. The design of the renovation was carefully planned.
First of all, the original neat house type provides convenience for the transformation. The designers decided to use the space of the dining room and the north balcony to realize the function of a three-bedroom apartment, and the dining room was designed next to the sofa in the living room, which made sense and made the best use of the existing space. Secondly, in order to make the circulation more reasonable, the direction of the kitchen entrance has also been changed, which not only makes the living line smoother, but also visually expands the sense of space. Considering the growth of the children and the convenience of family members, both bathrooms have been retained. Although the space of the renovated entrance is limited, it cleverly borrows a corner of the sub-door and arranges a set of storage cabinets to the top.
Although this design affects the spaciousness of the entrance experience, it does not have a big impact considering the actual use case. The parquet floor tiles on the floor not only enrich the level of space, but also create a clearly differentiated dust retention area, which greatly facilitates hygiene and cleaning. The first perspective after entering the house, the designers also made clever treatments. Considering the problem of facing the bathroom door, the side of the TV wall is designed with cabinets, and the end view wall is decorated with a painting, which not only avoids the embarrassment of direct viewing, but also adds a touch of art to the vision. The designers' ingenuity doesn't stop there.
In the design of the restaurant, they abandoned the traditional sense of detachment and minimalism, but gave this space more traces of life. Let's continue to explore and see how they skillfully weave together the chaos and order of life in this space to create a warm and orderly home. In this small home full of warmth, every corner contains the wisdom of design and the enthusiasm for life. From the living room to the bathroom, every renovation is not only a transformation of space, but also a redefinition of home. Here, there is not only a comfortable living experience, but also a clever way to use space.
How can a home achieve multi-functional needs in a limited space? Let's start from the heart of the home - the living room, and uncover the multi-faceted mystery of the home. Imagine a couch quietly waiting for your family to return in front of a blue backdrop. Accents of metal and leather make this area look both sophisticated and luxurious. Here, every corner has been carefully designed, and the small furniture not only saves space, but also leaves plenty of freedom in the activity area. Even the TV wall is cleverly integrated into the entire storage cabinet, which not only shows the owner's taste, but also hides the clutter of life.
However, the most surprising transformation is that the original restaurant has been transformed into a children's room full of children's fun. When you open the door with the windowed design, a new world opens up in front of you. Here, the air circulates freely and the children's laughter is no longer confined by the enclosed space. The dining room, although moved to a corner of the sofa wall, may be a little compact, but it still maintains the original warmth and convenience, without the slightest sense of crampedness. Don't think that such changes are just for the sake of aesthetics. In the blink of an eye, our eyes were drawn to the renovated balcony. Some people will ask, why not eliminate the sliding door and make the home more transparent?
However, the retention of the sliding door makes the balcony not only a living area, but also a storage area for miscellaneous items with hidden wit. Isn't life supposed to be full of such a real atmosphere? Following the flow of space, we walked into the kitchen. The cabinets are dyed in a fresh mint green color, which not only makes people shine, but also reveals a retro and sophisticated temperament. The renovated U-shaped cabinet layout makes the operation smoother and the storage more sufficient. Here, every cooking is a feast for the eyes and the palate. Further in, the mix and match of the master bedroom is particularly eye-catching.
Modern, American, and log styles coexist harmoniously in this space, making people feel as if they can travel through different worlds with different styles. The combination cabinet of the large wardrobe and the TV wall, each of which reflects the owner's pursuit of life order, and the sundries are no longer a burden, but an orderly part. At the same time, the second bedroom, as a temporary habitat for parents, is equally refined. The oversized wardrobe complements the storage function of the home, while the secondary use of old furniture is both environmentally friendly and harmoniously integrated into the overall design. As for the bathroom, although it has not been elaborated, you can imagine that it also carries the owner's persistence and pursuit of quality of life.
In this home, every change reveals deep thought and love for life. Each one is designed not only for aesthetics, but also for practicality, in order to make this home a truly desirable living space. Here, every corner has its story, waiting for you to savor. In today's fast-paced era, home, a heavy concept in Chinese culture, is not only a place to rest, but also a manifestation of personality and lifestyle. Today, I will take you to explore how to create a living environment that is full of life and meets the needs of the owner through meticulous design in a limited space.
Let's start with the heart of the home – the bathroom. In traditional home design, the role of the bathroom is often ancillary, but in this case, it plays an important role. Imagine returning home at the end of a long workday, where is the first place you want to go? In this home, the setting of two bathrooms reflects the owner's pursuit of quality of life. In response to the practical needs of multiple people at the same time, it is undoubtedly wise to reserve two toilets.
But the question is, what should designers do in the face of the relatively small space in the master bedroom? If you think they're going to sacrifice some basic features, you're wrong. The designers cleverly decided to ditch the shower function, which may seem surprising at first glance. After all, a shower is arguably one of the most basic needs for modern life. However, if you think about it on the other hand, does this mean that designers are sacrificing practicality? The answer is: no. Instead, they subtly transformed the space into an area for increased storage capacity by configuring a chest of drawers and storage boxes in this bathroom.
In this way, it not only solves the problem of tight space in the master bedroom, but also makes the owner's life more orderly. Yes, it's not a regular practice, but it meets the needs of the homeowner, and isn't this kind of innovation and deep understanding of the living function that designers should be most praised? Compared with the simplicity of the bedroom, the design of the living room and dining room is more eye-catching. But if you notice, just because it catches your eye doesn't mean it's flashy in design.
In fact, the design of the living room and dining room still maintains the overall harmony and balance, which not only shows the taste of the owner, but also does not lose the warmth of home. Unfortunately, the design of the bedroom seems very ordinary, even a bit unremarkable. Is this an oversight on the part of the designers, or is there something else to it? The answer may not be simple. It is true that the bedroom does not become the focal point of this home, but it is designed to serve the daily needs of the homeowner appropriately. In this space, there is no complicated decoration, no excessive luxury, only simplicity and comfort close to the essence of life.
This leads to a deeper question: what is good home design, is it the dizzying decoration, or the details that make people feel comfortable and comfortable? As this case shows, a good design does not have to be minimalist or luxurious, it should focus more on how to integrate into the life of the homeowner, how to meet the function while giving the homeowner the greatest freedom and comfort. So, what do you think of such a home full of life?
You may think it's not so amazing, but it's undeniable that it perfectly interprets the meaning of "home" in a seemingly ordinary but extraordinary way. In this era of personalized choices, home design has long ceased to be a single imitation, but has become more diverse and inclusive. Everyone's definition of home is different, and a good home design should be a design that can show the unique life attitude of the homeowner. This is exactly what designers strive for, and it is a core concept that we should not lose sight of when enjoying the living space.
Therefore, when you are thinking about how to create your own home, you might as well start from your own life and find those design elements that can improve the quality of life and make life better, so that home is not only a place to live, but also a work of art of life.
