The landlord recently mentioned the new house, began to plan for the future home, and has since embarked on the road of no return that lingers on various home design styles. Nordic style, modern style, American style... Which one to choose? I want it all.
Later, a friend who was engaged in design work showed me the mansion project she had just completed, and the screen was full of exquisite atmosphere! I dream of living in such a home! Light luxury, yes, it's chosen!
In line with years of industry experience, a friend recommended Vantage Home to me. After I visited the store, I took a fancy to the California Manor series. Proper American light luxury style is simply my ideal light luxury home style!
Overall first impression
The California Manor collection integrates light classical American charm into the home space, using simple and luxurious white and dark gray, presenting an elegant and atmospheric spatial style.
High-end metal elements are interspersed with it, such as the door panel embellished with silver decorative threads, the ink blue handle with the gold base, the fusion of retro and modern, light luxury and romance, making the whole series full of ease and luxury, highlighting the quality of life.
Entrance space
The entrance cabinet takes dark gray as the main color, stable and not heavy, and once you enter the door, it is a light luxury mood that comes to the face. The cabinet is set up with an open storage area, and the combination of fitting mirror + clothes hook + storage area is very suitable for use. When you get home from work, you can put your keys and bags and unload your fatigue; you can dress up before you go out to evoke self-confidence.
There is space in the hanging place of the cabinet to easily store the shoes that are often worn outside the door, and say goodbye to the messy state of shoes on the floor. The counter is also hidden, gently pulling down into a shoe changing stool, cushioned material, comfortable sitting. With the perfect combination of this pair of cp, it is more convenient to change shoes in one go.
The entrance space must not only support the "façade" and reflect the taste of the home, but also meet the storage needs of the entrance and exit. This storage cabinet adopts a one-piece door design, which can open the upper and lower cabinet doors at the same time, making it more convenient to take things. After opening the cabinet door, you can see that the cabinet is divided into multiple layers of storage grids, with lighter items such as backpacks and hats on the high places, shoes in the season at the low places, and the layout of the upper and lower spaces is clear, which easily achieves reasonable and orderly storage.
Living + dining room
The pattern of integration of guests and restaurants maximizes the utilization of space, and the overall appearance is very transparent and open, making the space more "large". For that alone, this series got a high score in my heart.
To the top-mounted TV cabinet, it brings the effect of extending the space from the visual point of view. The door panels on the left and right sides of the cabinet are designed with upper glass and lower solid wood, which reduces the visual center of gravity and opens up the space. The living room is the main activity space in the home, the family moves around frequently, and the lower solid wood is designed to be safer than the all-glass door panels to avoid accidents. The glass door panel has the effect of increasing the sense of spatial permeability, making it more atmospheric, while ensuring that the internal storage is visible and easy to find.
In the middle, there is a TV space and an open storage layer, where some jewelry books are placed, and the storage is also decorative. The bottom is the combination of large and small drawers, the upper small drawers contain small items such as TV remote controls, and the large drawers below place children's toys, which are highly concealed, and the items in the living room are "hidden" and much cleaner. The diversified storage structure makes the storage function of the TV cabinet improve a lot, and the trouble of "not being able to fit" does not exist here.
The partition cabinet separates the living room and dining room, and the space layout is clear. The entire cabinet is divided into 60% of the space, made into a closed cabinet, hidden storage dustproof and no dust accumulation. The remaining 40% is used as a fully open storage area, and the storage is very clear at a glance. It's also a functional extension of the kitchen, where easy-to-make treats such as vegetable salads and home-made ciders can be done.
People who like to collect famous wines will think of putting good things in the most conspicuous place, such as me. The design of this series of wine cabinets really understands my careful thinking. It sits right next to the table, where you can enjoy wine tasting and chatting with friends in your free time. The design of the reserved countertop in the middle is also very thoughtful, and you can reach out to get the wine and the wine glass here.
The transparent vintage cloth glass door and the metal shelves in the cabinet collide with the exquisite beauty, while the beloved wine in the cabinet has a clear view, and I look happy to see it, and my friends come to a long face. The 30° oblique display design not only facilitates the holding of wine, but also better displays the wine collection.
kitchen
Across the street from the restaurant is the most pyrotechnic spot in the home – the kitchen. U-shaped layout, clearly divided into functional areas, from the storage area to the washing area, and then to the cooking area, the moving line is smooth and reasonable, and the gourmet cooking is in place in one step.
Washing vegetables, cutting vegetables, and washing dishes are the norm in the washing area, which requires the countertop material to have a good cultivation of wear resistance, manufacturing resistance and easy cleaning. California Manor series cabinet countertops are made of quartz stone, natural stone, wear and scratch resistant, not only have the appearance, but also the strength of the school.
The metal shelves are decorated, stored and displayed, and the metal material highlights the sense of light luxury and enhances the style of space. Commonly used condiments are stacked here, ready to use when cooking, saving time and convenience.
The quartz stone countertops are formed in one piece and extend to the cooking area. To my surprise, the California Manor Collection combines quartz stone and wood to subdivide the cooking area and the dining area. The gentle and mellow feel of the wooden countertops creates a warm and comfortable dining environment for a more pleasant mood.
Listening to the staff of the store, the wooden countertop is coated with a layer of antibacterial and anti-mildew material, which can effectively inhibit the growth of bacteria, clean and hygienic and easy to clean. To verify this, I tried to apply soy sauce and ketchup on it, waited 5 minutes and wiped it with a tissue, and found that cleaning was effortless, soy sauce and ketchup were wiped clean in an instant, and it seemed that its stain resistance was passed.
Regardless of whether the space is large or small, the kitchen always has the most condiments, tableware and kitchenware. If they are all placed on the table in a mess, it will definitely affect the mood and rhythm of the cooking. At this time, a powerful cabinet is needed to resolve the embarrassment of chaos and disorder.
The California Manor Series has designed a full-sided storage cabinet to enhance the storage function of the kitchen and keep the kitchen clean and tidy. The cabinet body reserves the installation position of embedded electrical appliances, and the steaming oven, disinfection cabinet, etc. are not only "hidden", but also integrated with the cabinet, which is a neat and unified exquisite model at a glance.
Solved the storage problem, I have another problem. I have a big orange cat at home, jumping up and down, coming and going without a trace is its biggest hobby, usually like to patronize the kitchen, accidentally breaking a few dishes is already a common thing. The thoughtful design of the California Manor series of glass fences can help me stop this guy. An 8-centimeter-high glass fence is added to the outer layer of each disposal, which blocks the naughty "magic claw" and protects the spice from being overturned by children and pets.
As a poor cook, I rely heavily on small appliances that can be called kitchen artifacts, but every time I cook, I have to put my head into the cupboard to find them hidden in the corner, which is very difficult. California Manor series set up small household appliance storage area, push-pull design, rail smooth and unimpeded, light opening and closing, faster to take.
In addition to the small appliance storage area, the California Manor Series cabinets have also installed drawers to expand the kitchen. The drawer opens and closes, sometimes with a little force, and makes a "bang" sound. So is there a noise problem with the California Hacienda series? I tried to close the drawer hard, and found that the drawer had a certain cushioning effect during the closing process, and would close gently, without a little noise, and without worrying about accidentally catching my hand.
bedchamber
After seeing the kitchen where the storage max was stored, I went to the bedroom, and to be honest, it was a place where I wanted to sleep when I saw it. The style continues the light and romantic American atmosphere of the previous public areas, and is a good place to relax and sleep comfortably. The overall use of TV cabinet + dresser + bay window integrated design, seamless splicing, space utilization is more flexible.
The TV cabinet is set up with open storage area and fully enclosed cabinet door at the same time to meet different storage needs. The middle part is hollowed out, leaving a TV position, coupled with the design of the background wall moving forward, the overall viewing line of sight is better, lying on the bed chasing the drama is simply beautiful.
Girls like me, who like to buy and buy, open the wardrobe every day and have all kinds of "surprises": clothes can't be found again, new clothes have no place to put ... What to do? The California Manor series wardrobe was the right medicine to solve my clothing storage problem. To the top design, make full use of vertical space, so that all clothes can be collected. The cabinet is mainly made of glass door panels, which can find the clothes you want to wear at a glance, save time to rummage, and go out faster. With new solid wood door panels, preferably imported wood from North America, with environmentally friendly sealing paint, to meet the European E1 standard, natural environmental protection. The cabinet is classified and designed, dividing the folded clothes and hanging clothes storage area, and easily finishing the clothes.
Editor's summary: At first sight, I was amazed by its light and luxurious face, and I was fanned by its powerful storage force in the experience.
