In the city center of Kunming, there is a new living space that glows after two sets of residences are cleverly opened, and this 260-square-meter flat-floor residence in Kunming New City Wuyue is like a well-carved work of art, it is not only a residence, but also a manifestation of the love and pursuit of life. When designer Zhang Wei and project manager Li Song took over the project, they were faced with two separate houses, each isolated and clearly bounded.
But the owner's vision was extraordinary: a large, functional flat-floor home that would meet the different needs of the family while making the living feel comfortable and stylish. First of all, they broke down the barrier between the two residences and opened up the original living room to form an atmospheric horizontal hall space. Here, there is no redundant partition, but through the invisible design of the aisle, on the one hand, it is used as a living room and tea tasting area, and on the other hand, it is used as a dining area and a western kitchen, which subverts the inherent pattern of traditional residences and greatly improves the space utilization.
Light is the soul of the home, in order to enhance the lighting of the overall space, the designer decisively removed the sliding door of the balcony and expanded the balcony into the interior. Not only does this change allow for more natural light, but it also makes the area the perfect place for families to work out or enjoy afternoon tea. Imagine being in such a sunny space, whether it's sweating or tasting tea, it's a rare treat. When it comes to the treatment of intimate areas, the design team is also ingenious.
They have kept four well-ventilated bedrooms and plenty of storage space for each space, so that life is organized and everything looks organized. Walking into the living room, the spacious space creates a great view. Large windows let in plenty of light, and warm orange curtains, leather sofas, and marble floors and TV backdrops make for a comfortable and stylish home environment.
A touch of mysterious black blessing makes the whole space look advanced and calm. The tea tasting area is probably the place that best embodies the oriental Zen in this home. The symmetrical wooden glass cabinet blends into the wall to create a harmonious picture. Here, from a piece of porcelain to the overall layout, all reveal a calm, quiet and peaceful atmosphere.
The dining area is an important place for family gatherings, and the designer has set up a wine cabinet full of fine wines here, which complements the wood-colored space, and the irregular ring lighting adds a bit of artistic atmosphere. The study, as a corner of knowledge and culture in the family, naturally looks simple and calm. A bay window design flowing with cultural atmosphere makes reading no longer monotonous, but full of beautiful scenery and warm sunshine.
As for the master bedroom, it is decorated in wood tones, with contrasting black and white decorative paintings and a wood-paneled backdrop that embodies modern simplicity. This home in Kunming Xincheng Wuyue, through the skillful hands of the designer, not only meets all the expectations of the owner for the house, but also leaves a careful design in every corner. Here, you can feel an attitude towards life, an endless pursuit of a better life. This home is more than just a residence, it is the fulfillment of a dream, a declaration of love for life.
In our busy pace of life, the bathroom is no longer just a simple place to wash, it carries our most intimate time every morning and evening. Have you ever wondered what it is like to step into a bathroom that is both beautiful and functional after a busy day? Today, I want to share with you a little story about the decoration of the bathroom at home. It may seem ordinary, but it contains a pursuit of quality of life. The protagonist of the article is a friend of mine, and we will call her Xiaofang for the time being.
Xiao Fang has just completed the renovation of her bathroom, and her choice and design are undoubtedly extremely ingenious. Before the renovation, Xiaofang's bathroom looked a little dull and damp, which was not only depressing, but also not practical enough. She knows that every renovation of the bathroom is not only an upgrade to the home, but also an improvement in the quality of life. So, she decided to make a change. When it comes to the choice of colours, she abandons the traditional light tones and does not opt for dark colours that can feel stale and difficult to care for.
Instead, it boldly uses gray glossy tiles and white tiles. Grey gives a modern look, while the glossy design allows the light to reflect off the wall, adding to the brightness of the bathroom. Paired with white tiles, this combination not only makes people feel that the space becomes transparent, but also gives people a clean and neat feeling. As for the lighting, Xiaofang also put a lot of effort into it. Instead of the conventional ceiling light, she opted for the mirror cabinet strip design.
The ingenuity of this design is that the light does not shine directly into the human eye, but is reflected through a mirror, thus softening the entire space. When you stand in front of the mirror, you will not feel any dazzling, but will look more beautiful because of the uniform light. In terms of practicality, Xiaofang is more thoughtful. In the choice of the shower area, she specially chose non-slip tiles. We all know that wet bathrooms are prone to slipping, and non-slip tiles greatly reduce this risk, especially for families with elderly and young children.
These changes may sound inconspicuous, but in fact, each of them embodies Xiaofang's meticulous observation of life and insistence on quality. However, the story doesn't end there. Do you think that's all that Xiaofang has designed? No, there's more. Xiaofang knows that a perfect bathroom should not only be beautiful and practical, but also have the function of storage. So she designed a series of storage cabinets under the mirror cabinet.
Not only can these cabinets store daily bath products, but they can also hold towels and cleaning supplies, making the bathroom look organized. Moreover, Xiaofang designed a multi-functional hook area in the corner of the bathroom to facilitate hanging bath towels and clothes. Such a design not only saves space, but also reflects the details of life. Now, when Xiaofang comes home from her busy work every day and walks into such a bathroom that is both beautiful and practical, she can't help but release the fatigue of the day and bathe in comfort and relaxation.
This story may seem trivial to you, but it tells us that every little detail in life is worth polishing with our hearts. A good bathroom is not only a place to wash, but also a display of life attitude. Bidding farewell to the dim and crowded old bathroom in the past, Xiaofang got not only a new space, but a new life experience. This experience fills her with love and anticipation for life every day.
Perhaps, Xiaofang's story can inspire you to imagine your own bathroom. You might as well take action and bring a feast for the eyes and souls to your living space. After all, life isn't just about what is in front of you, it's also about poetry and distance—and a beautiful bathroom.
