After buying my existing home, I felt a lot of financial pressure in the face of the upcoming renovation costs. In order to reduce the burden, I decided to choose the self-assembly method, that is, the contractor does not pack the materials, which means that I have to personally select and purchase various decoration materials, but it does save me a lot of money.
After unremitting efforts and careful budgeting, I successfully renovated this 102-square-meter house, and the overall cost was controlled at 80,000 yuan. In the process, I encountered a challenge: since there was only one bathroom in the house, I had planned to install a squatting pit, but considering the advanced age of my parents-in-law, the squatting pit could be inconvenient. So, I had an idea and innovatively designed the bathroom, and placed the squat pit and toilet at the same time, which is both practical and humane, and I believe that this decoration detail is the first time you have seen it.
The decoration budget is limited, so it is not luxurious but practical, and the middle of the shoe cabinet is left blank, and the storage function is relatively powerful!
Although the decoration of the living room is simple, the overall effect is bright and generous, which makes people feel more comfortable. In order to keep my budget under control, I worked tirelessly to travel through multiple building materials markets, carefully comparing and sifting through the final selection of the most cost-effective materials. This kind of hands-on renovation process, although hard, but seeing the final result, my heart is full of satisfaction and a sense of achievement.
The restaurant also has a sideboard, the lamp is a fan lamp, which is very useful in summer, and it is super convenient to eat hot pot in winter!
The fabric sofa I bought only cost 3,000 yuan, which is not bad, right? The sofa wall is hung with cross-stitch given by my sister-in-law, and it took my sister-in-law 3 months to embroider it, thank you!
Although the overall effect of the living room and restaurant only cost 80,000 yuan, I feel satisfied with this effect!
The simple TV background wall looks very atmospheric!
The sideboard is made by a carpenter, although it may not be very beautiful, but it is practical, and the storage function is also very strong!
This display case acts as a partition between the living room and the dining room, and I have placed a few pots of greenery to make our new home even more vibrant!
The kitchen is on the right hand side of the door!
Just enough to fit a refrigerator between the shoe cabinet and the kitchen sliding door!
I deliberately chose this kind of panel in the kitchen because it is easier to clean and maintain!
Although the kitchen sparrow is small, I am quite satisfied, the only regret is that there is no window!
The master bedroom is not very large, so in order to save space, I simply put the bed against the wall, which saves a lot of space!
I don't have a bedside table, and the space saved is just enough to put a small desk, which is also my dresser!
There are also a few cabinets under the small bay window, in short, the decoration is mainly to save money and be practical!
The second bedroom is the old man's room, the space is relatively small, and the tatami mat is played! Because the child loves to grab the TV in the living room, I put a TV in the old man's room, so that the old man can also watch TV in the bedroom when he is bored!
The children's room is also made of tatami mats, and considering the children's learning needs, I have installed several simple bookcases above the desk, which can put dictionaries and books for the children!
The bathroom is only a palm-sized area!
This is the shower room with a squat pit!
Bathroom cabinet bought this kind of countertop basin!
The toilet is right next to the bathroom cabinet!
Faced with the challenge of limited space in the restroom, I had planned to install just one squat pit to save space. However, considering the advanced age of my parents-in-law and the inconvenience that it may have caused to use the squat pit, I made an innovative decision after careful consideration. I cleverly arranged the squatting pit inside the shower room and added a toilet outside the shower room. Although this design makes the originally small bathroom seem more compact, I firmly believe that this adjustment is not only convenient for the two elderly people, but also reflects the deep love and respect for them. This kind of design seems to many people to be ingenious, but for me, as long as it can bring convenience and comfort to my family, everything is worth it. Do you say yes?
