When the key to the new house is slowly handed over, how many people begin to build the appearance of their future home in their minds, and every fantasy is an expectation of life. However, not all new homes need to undergo a radical makeover. Sometimes, a simple design and retaining the original structure are the most practical and warm choices.
Let's talk about this new 129-square-metre home in Nanjing, which may not be the most striking example, but it gives a sense of the essence of home – comfort and practicality. Three bedrooms, two living rooms, one kitchen and one bathroom, the standard layout contains the owner's understanding of home: simple is true. Family members, from old to young, want to find their own relaxing corner here.
Therefore, what the designer is doing here is more about the details than the drastic changes. First, let's walk through the door and be greeted by a redesigned entryway. The original space was directly connected to the living room, lacking privacy and storage. Nowadays, a row of entrance cabinets stands elegantly there, which not only meets the storage needs, but also makes the entrance more orderly and ceremonial.
Guests are no longer able to see everything in their home at the push of the door, but are guided into a warm and stylish space. Interestingly, the meter box always appears out of place, and here, it is cleverly disguised with a decorative painting. Everything seemed so natural, so harmonious. Further inside, there is the living room that has abandoned over-decoration.
The design concept here is "white space", there are no complex lines or complicated colors, only a simple and pure space, giving people peace and relaxation. Isn't home just a place where people can unload the tiredness of the day and empty themselves? The kitchen and balcony are also very ingeniously designed. Sliding door partitions are a smart choice – they both insulate oil fumes and ensure sound insulation, making cooking a pleasure rather than a burden.
In the bathroom, a separate washing machine solves the laundry problem. The pattern of dry and wet separation not only takes into account the convenience of use, but also reflects the pursuit of quality of life. Stepping into the master bedroom, the cloakroom is a highlight. Isn't it a small blessing in life to have enough storage space and make each piece of clothing have its own place and be organized?
From the hallway to the living room, to the kitchen and bathroom, every improvement is not a simple decoration, it represents the owner's understanding and expectation of the home. In this home, every place is designed for a reason. However, the house is not without flaws. It has the advantage of making the most of the original structure without pursuing retrofits that could add additional costs.
It proves that sometimes, the best thing to change is not to change. Such a design philosophy is especially precious in today's fast-paced life. It does not pursue gorgeous space transformation, does not blindly follow the trend of decoration, but makes the most suitable choice based on the actual needs of family members. This may be the key consideration we need to consider when preparing our own home.
In this hectic and complex world, home should be a welcoming haven. Nanjing's new home, with its simplicity and practicality, allows people to see that the original home can be so warm and comfortable. Whether you're worried about your new home or looking for inspiration to decorate, slow down and find the warmth that belongs to you from this simple example.
Because sometimes, the best design comes from life itself. In the midst of a city full of high-rise buildings, people are on the move at a fast pace and under pressure, and everyone longs to be able to return to a home that is both simple and comfortable at the end of a busy day. Today, I would like to share with you a case study that may be overlooked, but contains ingenuity and wisdom, which creates a living environment that is both functional and quality in a limited space.
In this case, the designer did not use complicated decorations and did not pursue a shocking color impact, but still made people feel the quality of life in every corner. How? Let's demystify it. First, our eyes were directed to the living room. Here, the seemingly random combination of three colors of sofas, like an abstract painting, inadvertently becomes the visual focus of the entire space.
Isn't this like life? It seems to be chaotic, but it has a pattern. Are you curious about how this combination makes people feel comfortable? If you look at the restaurant, the designers here have created a harmonious dining atmosphere with just a few simple colors. Can you imagine how the abstract decorative paintings on the two walls break the boredom and bring vitality?
While the sliding door has been eliminated here, the problem of oil smoke has also been taken into account. The simple cabinet color matching is not only beautiful, but also practical. The U-shaped structure makes the most of the space. But what kind of design philosophy is hidden behind this? Although the design of the bathroom is not large, the separation of dry and wet makes it more efficient. What's more, the designers have also cleverly added a laundry cabinet in the dry area to improve the storage capacity.
Walking into the master bedroom, we feel the tranquility of seclusion. The cream-coloured palette and the cloakroom are designed to make you imagine a dream sleeping space, while the second bedroom is a cosy room for the elderly. The designers used light and color to create an environment that was both serene and fresh. Here, every need of the elderly seems to be carefully considered.
Are you also wondering what kind of life experience such a room will bring to the elderly? Finally, the design of the children's room. Unlike the usual children's rooms, there is more emphasis on simplicity and tranquility. Every design element is designed with the child's growth in mind. The design concept behind this is worth pondering. We found that in this case, the designer embodied the beauty of life in the simplest design language.
Every detail reveals a deep understanding and respect for the needs of the occupants. And this kind of design is not a show-off, but a persistent pursuit of comfort and practicality. Do you also feel the happiness brought by those details carefully arranged by the designer? Although there is no excessive decoration, this unpretentious design can quietly grow the warmth and comfort of life.
Life does not need too many complicated dresses, and a simple but high-quality home is the most able to soothe our tired body and mind. This family design case is like a cup of faint fragrant tea, which seems ordinary, but in fact has a unique flavor. Here, everyone can find their own peace and contentment. This is not only the experience of living, but also an art of living, a heart-warming attitude to life.
