When we talk about home, it is always with an indescribable emotion. Whether it is a vision for the future or a consideration of reality, home has always been a symbol of our ultimate destination. In modern society, the appearance of home is constantly changing with people's thoughts and needs. Today, I would like to bring you a unique story of home renovation - how to turn a set of standard large horizontal hall units into a unique vertical hall space. Imagine that you have just gotten a new house of 123 square meters, with four bedrooms, one living room and two bathrooms on the floor plan, and an additional garden to the house.
In such a house, most people's first reaction is: "Wow, how spacious this living room must be!" But life always requires us to proceed from reality, and this seemingly enviable large horizontal hall actually has a lot of hidden problems. For example, the dining room is located next to an elevator hall and is far less lit, the doors of the three bedrooms are crowded together and it is inconvenient for people to come and go, and the distribution of space seems to be somewhat unreasonable, with some rooms empty enough for a dance party and others barely enough to stand. What do you do? Like most people, try to adjust a little bit through renovations?
But the protagonist of the story, the owner of the house, doesn't think so. They decided to drastically renovate the large horizontal hall into a vertical hall to fundamentally solve the problem of space allocation. I have to say that this kind of reverse thinking is really refreshing. The first step in the renovation was to integrate the garden and the small balcony to create a more square room for the elderly. Immediately afterwards, they decisively canceled the original horizontal hall structure and opened up the walls of a bedroom and external bathroom on the north side to form a new vertical hall space.
The location of the dining room is cleverly transformed into a semi-open study, which not only retains the sense of openness of the space, but also increases the functionality of the residence. What about the living room, you may ask? Don't worry, the renovated living room hasn't been marginalized. The back wall of the sofa is cleverly extended, and a set of double-sided storage cabinets are added next to it, which not only ensures the visual beauty of the living room, but also solves the trouble of storage. The main bathroom has also been remodeled, with a design that separates dry and wet, and is also equipped with double basins, which greatly improves the convenience of life. The entrance reflects the designer's subtle considerations.
Because of the cancellation of the entrance garden, the shoe cabinet is designed on the right hand side of the door, which happens to be the wall partition cabinet of the study. On the left-hand side of the entrance, with the help of the limited wall depth, a small end viewing platform has been carefully created to enhance the first impression of entering the house. In terms of color palette, the designer chose a calm off-white tone to create a quiet yet stylish space environment for three generations of residents. So, what about the study? With the abolition of the horizontal hall structure, it has become a semi-open study. It not only fulfills the needs of efficient work, but also serves as a place for family members to rest and socialize.
The desk is close to the window to enjoy the natural light and look out at the scenery when you are tired, the sofa provides convenience for daily rest, and the oversized bookcase not only holds a full book but also showcases the family's cultural taste. As for the living room, although it is no longer a spacious space that unfolds horizontally, it is more compact and warm under the layout of the vertical hall. The sofa area, the TV wall, and the carefully selected decorations all show the owner's pursuit and persistence in the quality of life.
After the renovation of the home, although the structure has been subversive, the surprise and comfort it brings are incomparable. Whether it is a warm nest for the elderly, a Xi office space for juniors, or a living room for the whole family to gather, every corner reveals the warmth and uniqueness of home. Now, when you think back to the apprehension and uncertainty when you first got the house, do you feel that all the adventures and attempts are worth it? This is the charm of home remodeling: not sticking to the rules, daring to break through the rules, and in the end, you will get a unique and ideal home.
In this hectic city life, everyone craves to create a warm and comfortable home in a small space. A home renovation is an adventure that redefines the quality of life, and the results of the adventure are often exciting. Today, let's explore such a story together - the butterfly journey of an ordinary room, a visual feast from gray to color. As soon as you enter the door, the first thing that catches your eye is the living room. It seems to be an ordinary gray tone, but it makes people feel an inexplicable peace and quality. Let's slowly unravel the mystery of the details behind this tranquility.
On the background wall of the TV, the texture of the marble finish makes people stop, and the rounded lines lead the line of sight to flow naturally in the space. However, have you noticed that the rounded corners on the side of the TV wall, what kind of ingenuity is hidden behind this simple design? With the movement of your eyes, the walnut veneer of the coffee table and the gray-green leather surface of the sofa are displayed one by one. In the midst of this calm of gray and green, a touch of orange and yellow crept in, how does it break the dullness and bring vitality?
This suspense leads us to continue our exploration. The perspective in front of you shifts from the living room to the dining room, when the two spaces are combined into one, can you feel the multiplication of the sense of space? The wall of the originally closed secondary bathroom has been opened, and the transparency and spaciousness of the space seem to tell us that the possibilities of life are infinite. Looking at the design of the storage cabinet next to the sofa, who would have thought that this is not only a corner for storing small household items, but also a guardian of the space to keep it tidy. Imagine how pleasant it would be to relax in such a clean space.
The dining table in the center of the dining room is placed so elegantly, does it remind you of the warm scene of family reunion? And how does the enclosed life flow design improve our quality of life? The whole sideboard on the wall, which integrates refrigerators, small electrical appliances, and countertops, is worth pondering. The kitchen, as an important part of the family, is cramped, but every inch is carefully planned. The layout of the corner cabinet is undoubtedly an adaptation and compromise to daily life.
However, when you know that even in such a space, the designer still does not give up the pursuit of quality, and also uses gray and white color combinations, will you also feel that respect for life? The same shade of grey, but different in the green headboard and orange accents. Calm and lively, here is the perfect blend. The dresser opposite the bed, as well as the display corner near the window, how do they meet the needs of the heroine?
Next, the design of the master bathroom, the dry and wet separation structure, and the customized double cabinets all reflect the concept that convenience and efficiency of life are crucial. It may seem like a simple change, but it's actually well thought out. The tatami mats in the children's room not only create more space for children to move, but also make clever use of every inch of space. It not only represents an attitude to life, but also a perfect presentation of practical aesthetics. The treatment of the living room and dining room especially shows a sense of open space, and in such a space, every corner is telling the story of life.
You may ask, the owner of this home prefers a horizontal or vertical hall, but in such an environment, is it still important? to create a quality of life through details, combining practicality and aesthetics, this is the philosophy of home decoration to be shared today. Here, every change is not a simple update, but a deep reflection on the way of life. This is not only a sharing of decoration cases, but also an expression of life attitude. So, no matter who you are, you can find inspiration for your own home in these details.
Because in the end, home is not just a space to live in, it also represents an art of living.
