In life, we are often surrounded by objects, and after the accumulation of each piece, the home space will slowly become suffocated. In this era of minimalism, renunciation has become a solution to this dilemma that many people are trying to solve. But the reality is always complicated, especially for those families with children, it is not so easy to completely abandon things and pursue minimalism. So, there is a family that has adopted a different strategy when they renovated their new home in Suzhou. Their stories can actually give us a lot of inspiration.
For a family of four, their new home is 112 square meters, and for such a relatively spacious space, many people may want to hollow out as much as possible and pursue more sense of space. But with a lot of thought for the future, the homeowner made a different decision: to increase storage. There are two children at home, toys, books, clothes... These are all necessities in life, and how to keep the space clean and easy to manage has become their main consideration. Upon entering, a small entrance greets families and visitors. Here, they cleverly designed a set of open partition cabinets.
This partition cabinet not only has the function of distinguishing the space, but also does not make people feel oppressive, and at the same time, it can also display some warm small items, which plays a role in beautifying the space. Turning into the dining room, a marble dining table is greeted by candy-colored dining chairs, adding vibrancy and warmth to the home. The designer's ingenuity here is not only in the matching of colors, but also in how to increase the storage space in an inconspicuous corner. Facing the door, the designer deliberately made a set of upper and lower split shoe cabinets to ensure the basic storage of the home.
The light is hidden in the cabinet, and you can feel the warm atmosphere as soon as you enter the door, making every step back home light. The design of the living room is the embodiment of the wisdom of the owner. The TV wall is on the same plane as the entryway, and they extend the entryway cabinet to the TV wall. The design is both independent and unified, the visual effect is extended, and the sense of space is instantly magnified. The most important thing is that the invisible door is also cleverly designed in the middle, leading to the main and secondary bedrooms, maintaining a sense of integrity of the space without losing privacy. On the balcony, they made a bold decision - to remove the original door partition.
In this way, the balcony is closely connected to the interior space, and both visually and practically feel of use, becomes more spacious. The whole space is positioned in low-chroma colors, which not only softens the vision, but also gives people the feeling of slow life in the fast pace of the city. In this way, every part of the new home is filled with a combination of practicality and beauty, fully considering all aspects of life. From the entryway cabinet to the TV wall in the living room, to the small storage next to the dining table, each place is designed not only for aesthetics, but also to solve practical problems.
Just when everyone thought that it was difficult to improve such a decoration, the owner put a lot of effort into the details. For example, the lighting design of the dining room and living room has chosen warm colors to enhance the warmth index of the whole home. In the choice of furniture, they used the style with built-in storage function as much as possible, so that the sudden storage needs can be solved. Such a home is a small blessing in life. It is not simply the pursuit of formal simplicity, but truly from the perspective of life, to create a living space that is both beautiful and practical.
It has found a just right balance between objects and space, so that people can enjoy a minimalist life without feeling the inconvenience of life. Today, stories like this inspire us a lot. When it comes to setting up your own little world, we might as well think about how to find the perfect balance between decoration and practicality. In this way, both families with children and those who pursue a simple life can have a home that is both comfortable and convenient. It seems that everyone has an ideal home in their hearts, which is not only within the four walls, but also the home of the soul.
Today, let me take you through a well-designed space, and feel how the designer uses ingenuity to create a life scene that is both practical and tasteful. First, we came to the living room. Here, the black slate coffee table seems to be the protagonist of the whole space, and its calm tones and delicate texture immediately attract our attention. But that doesn't mean the rest of the living room is inferior. On the contrary, the sofa made of cotton and linen and the sofa wall with wood elements complement each other and echo each other. There are no elaborate decorations here, everything seems just right.
As the eye turns to the dining room, an invisible door is painted with green wall paint, in harmony with the surrounding greenery, which is both eye-catching and not overly ostentatious. This is an ingenious stroke by the designer, which makes the blank space more vibrant. And in the kitchen, we will find an interesting detail. Despite the space permitting, the designers did not opt for a standard U-shaped cabinet, but moderately reduced the depth of the left cabinet to allow for a more comfortable moving area. This attention to detail reflects the designer's emphasis on the fluidity of the occupants' daily lives.
Marble tiles are laid on the walls, and the combination of white cabinets makes the kitchen look high-end and warm. Entering the bathroom, simplicity is still the main theme. However, the combination of low-saturation colors and carefully selected materials make this highly functional space also exude restraint and calmness. The design of the mirror cabinet cleverly extends to the toilet area, saving space and increasing storage capacity. Next, we walked into the master bedroom. The layout here may seem conventional, but it hides the careful thinking of the designer.
The greenery on the wall at the head of the bed, combined with the lush plant paintings on the wall, is like the tranquility of being in the forest. A touch of dirty pink embellishments adds a romantic and warm atmosphere to the room. The design of the study is a little minimalist, but this does not detract from its functionality. Every book, every décor, is placed in this space just right. It can be used for office and leisure, and can also be used as a Xi corner for children, and the versatility is fully reflected in this independent study. Finally, we came to the children's room.
The traditional design of the children's room was abandoned, and the standard of the second bedroom was started. A 1.8-metre-wide bed ensures a comfortable sleep for both children. The use of grey and blue and wood colors adds an atmosphere of mystery and tranquility to the room. Such a home is simple but not simple, and every corner hides the designer's ingenuity and carefulness. You may ask, why do you put so many cabinets in your home? In fact, throughout the design, designers pay a lot of attention to the setting of storage space. Because when the clutter has a home, the space will naturally appear clean and orderly.
However, it is also important to note when designing that too many cabinets can cause a sense of oppression. In this case, the designer used different colors and structures to subtly reduce the visual weight of the cabinet, making the whole space both light and functional. Seeing this, I don't know if you have been moved by the design of this home? Maybe you will have different ideas or suggestions, after all, everyone has a unique opinion in their hearts about the appearance of home. But in any case, such a home, with its well-designed and well-thought-out details, always makes one feel the beauty of life.
