In this busy city life, we all have a common yearning - to be able to enjoy the peace and cleanliness when we return home. The reality is often harsh, though. As time passed, the glamour of those new homes faded away, and clutter began to quietly occupy every corner. Faced with such a situation, you can't help but ask: what exactly should we do? In fact, the solution is not far away.
Home, in addition to being the destination of emotions, is also the embodiment of life attitude. Here, I would like to share with you a set of cases that will make my eyes shine. This is not just a simple renovation, it is almost a subversive reconstruction of the concept of living. This 71-square-meter small home in Beijing was originally a headache. It's one of those "pistol" structures, with an excessively long corridor that seems to swallow up all possible space.
For the owner's family of five, it is clear that the need for housing cannot be met. However, with a clever makeover, the space has been given a new lease of life. First of all, the designer planned a corner of the living room as a room for the elderly, so that the elderly also have their own private space. The addition of sliding doors not only visually expands the space, but also further improves daylighting.
The integrated design of the dining and living room makes the already limited space more transparent and harmonious, which is not only a place to dine, but also a center for family members to communicate and play. The most noteworthy are the storage cabinets that are cleverly hidden in the walls. In this home, every inch of space has been carefully calculated and put to good use.
From shoe cabinets to sideboards, from built-in wardrobes to shelves behind sofas, every piece of furniture here is more than just furniture, they're the secret weapon to the clutter pile. The first thing you see when you enter the door is the spacious shoe cabinet. Its existence is not only for storage, its cut-out design cleverly integrates decorative elements, so that the entrance is no longer monotonous.
In the dining area next to it, the booth is designed to save space and provide additional storage opportunities, killing two birds with one stone. When you sit on the sofa in the living room, there is no clutter of furniture around, leaving only enough space for you to relax. The minimalist but not simple design makes this small living room a haven of relaxation.
As you may have noticed, the design of this home seems to have a magical power, which cleverly circumvents many of the limitations of small apartments, while also invisibly cultivating the Xi of tidying up the occupants. People began to unconsciously put things in their place, because everything had its own home. And behind all this, thanks to a good design. Of course, the designer is also very particular about the use of materials.
The combination of white latex lacquer walls and terrazzo floor tiles not only embodies the modern minimalist aesthetic, but also visually expands the sense of space. The inspiration of this case is not only about the wisdom of decoration, but also about how to create a comfortable home that can accompany us for a long time in a limited space. A good home can not only resist the erosion of time, but also become a quiet harbor in our lives.
We don't have to be bound by reality, as long as we are willing to think and try, we will definitely find our ideal lifestyle. Today, this small home has made the life of a family of five more orderly with its super storage function and reasonable space planning. Stand out from the compact layout and become a warm, comfortable home.
Ten years later, it will still be a space of warmth and order, thanks to the humble design details. This is not only a renovation of living space, but also a lifestyle innovation. So, the next time you lament that you don't have a place to put clutter in your home, think about how you can solve the problem by design. Remember, the real solution is often hidden in the details you don't expect.
"Space, a topic that we talk about all the time, especially in home design, seems to be a problem forever. "I was typing on the keyboard and thinking about how to lead the story of this family. Home is not just a simple combination of a few walls and some furniture, it is a container for life, carrying emotions, memories, and even an attitude to life.
Imagine what it would be like for a family of three generations, parents, children, and elderly grandparents, to not only challenge the layout of the space, but also test the wisdom of the designer. Speaking of which, you may be wondering, how exactly is such a family space planned? First of all, I'm going to take you into the living room.
In this home, the living room is not a large space in the traditional sense, but a well-designed multi-purpose area. The designer abandons the complicated decoration, and the simple hanging TV cabinet and decorative compartment cabinet on the TV background wall not only meet the storage needs, but also create a sense of lightness visually. You must ask, does such a small space seem cramped? The answer is no.
The designer cleverly used the furniture layout with the booth to make it suitable for family gatherings while avoiding congestion. Let's talk about the master bedroom. Here, the designers broke the mold and replaced the traditional bed with tatami mats, a change that greatly improved the utilization of space. The storage space under the tatami mats, as well as the extended desk and bookcase, are matched with white and wood colors, which not only brings a warm atmosphere of space, but also keeps it tidy.
In this way, the master bedroom is not only a place to rest, but also a private study. The designer also took into account the needs of the elderly for storage space. Wardrobes and functional cabinets surround the head of the bed, with good lighting, making the elderly room both comfortable and practical. The design of the children's room is more thoughtful, and the light blue latex paint on the wall reflects the child's innocence and liveliness.
The desk near the window not only allows children to enjoy plenty of light when they are learning Xi, but also makes them feel endless dreams and hopes every day of their growth. The kitchen, the soul of the family, was changed from the original L-shaped to a U-shaped layout, which seems to be insignificant, but in fact greatly improves the storage and operation experience of the space. And the colorful retro small tiles add a touch of interest to this home.
Although the layout of the bathroom is common, the design of the alcove and the separate shower room makes perfect use of the space and guarantees the comfort of use. Finally, the design of the balcony is also quite ingenious. The configuration of the laundry cabinet and storage cabinet not only meets the needs of storage, but the laundry basin also doubles as a washstand, which subtly relieves the pressure of the bathroom.
The design of the whole family space gives people the deepest impression that although there is a lot of storage space designed, there is no sense of crowding. One family, three generations in the same house, everyone's needs are considered and respected, and every inch of space is full of wisdom and warmth. This may not look amazing in the renderings, but for this family, practicality and comfort are the most important things.
Finally, I would like to say that the design of a home is not only a display of aesthetics, but also an understanding and respect for life. The space design of this family is like a mirror, reflecting not only the wisdom of the designer, but also the attitude and expectation of the occupants towards life. So, readers, what do you think of this kind of home space design, do you also believe that practicality and comfort are the fundamentals of home design while pursuing beauty?
