At the entrance to the entrance, the arches commonly found in the Mediterranean style were made, and as a supplement to the French style, the design of the arches increased the layering and beauty of the room, which was a good decoration. When designing arches, the craftsmanship of the workers is particularly important, and the owner must communicate effectively with the designers and construction workers, and draw drawings to ensure that the owner's vision is truly restored.

Before the editor visited a reader's home, it is because of insufficient communication, during construction, the workers just turned the right angle of the house into an arc, not the arch that the owner wanted, and it was also located in the living room position, which greatly affected the aesthetics and became a great regret in the decoration.

The entrance hall also has a wealth of storage space, and the hooks on the wall can easily store commonly used bags, coats, scarves, hats, etc. to wear when going out. The lower shoe cabinet is used to place home slippers, and you can also sit down, fully considering your usual living habits. Next to it is a large shoe cabinet where the shoes of the whole family can be effectively stored.

Nordic, French and modern hybrid

When designing, Ms. Ou hopes to have some of her own imprint in the house. Probably because she is a designer, Ms. Ou likes more styles and elements, and does not want to be limited by the so-called "style", so everything starts from her own preferences and needs when designing. So you can see that the overall style of the house is a mix and match, both Nordic simplicity, French light luxury, but also a lot of modern elements added. And this kind of soft decoration mix and match has also become the biggest highlight of the house design.

The most brilliant design of the house is the soft part. Designers use low-saturation colors as a base, and locally use small areas of high-saturation colors to brighten. The overall look is both jumpy and uncontroversial. Entering Ms. Ou's house, everyone will be attracted by the Maldivian blue TV cabinet at the first sight. In addition, there is a large area of yellow-brown as the main color in the home, and the rest is embellished with green and gold. On the sofa wall is Chang Yu's imitation of "Wild Horse", which lights up the space with a piece of turquoise. Designers put their love of color in their homes, and these colors, no matter how they are matched, will be very brilliant.

The TV cabinet is customized by the designer according to the needs. Because a family of three, there will be more and more things in the future, so it is necessary to increase the storage space as much as possible. However, he did not want to store something completely single-functional, so he cleverly combined the TV cabinet and storage space, chose dark blue in color, and treated it as a theme with a certain decorative nature.

It all starts with meeting the needs of life

Floor heating was installed for the home, so Ms. Ou chose environmentally friendly laminate flooring from JCDecaux, the pattern of herringbone collage is very beautiful, and the floor is more wear-resistant, and the child does not have to worry about slipping on the ground. The white plaid carpet is a pure hand-woven wool carpet from Morocco, adding simplicity to the home, and the plush texture is very comfortable, and the child can sit on the ground happily and play. The central air conditioner in the living room comes from Toshiba, the floor heating is Bosch, and Panasonic's air purification system is also installed.

The designers abandoned the large and heavy coffee table, but chose two simple and small golden round coffee tables instead, which are more than enough for the books or tea sets that are often read in the living room. And it frees up a relatively complete and spacious space for children to run freely in the living room.

The brown leather sofa bought from indigo living is a hard texture that young people like, and you will not feel tired after a long time of hiding in it to read books and watch TV. The three-person couch can also be used as a temporary bed, and when you read a book, you can just lie down and take a nap. To the right of the sofa is a somewhat worn vintage table that enriches the living room and displays vintage decorative paintings and knick-knacks that the designer likes. The banyan tree on the left gives the home a natural atmosphere.

Ms. Ou likes the old vintage vintage things, so you can see a lot of antique and retro items at home, the antique secretary cabinet in the living room; the mirror on the wall of the dining room, the hanging painting, the dining chair, the crystal chandelier, "These are all cross-time to my home." ”

The hall and the living room are integrated, which is the best moving line design, and also provides a more abundant space for children to run and play. The restaurant is on the left side of the entrance, and the vegetables and fruits can be easily placed on the table. The restaurant design is the most satisfying thing for Ms. Ou. The walls are decorated with her favorite vintage murals, and french wall mirrors add a romantic touch to the restaurant, and the visual space of the restaurant can be expanded by mirror effects.

All the items in the restaurant are her favorite, and it took a lot of effort to find them. The mirrors and hanging paintings on the walls come from a European antique furniture store in Shanghai. The dining chair is the original curved wooden chair of the THUNET master shipped back from Europe. The vintage crystal chandelier on the top was shipped back from Italy, and the crystals were hung up one by one.

The round column dining table appears lighter, interestingly, the four dining chairs, the designer has chosen different styles and colors, in response to this, the designer said, "Just like our daily dressing, most people will not only wear a suit, furniture is also the truth, not necessarily a set to buy." You can't go wrong with buying a set, but you can match it to make the furniture more interesting. ”

The glass lightweight partition doors are also worth mentioning. The partition doorway was originally a balcony, very small and narrow, very chicken ribs. In planning, the designer thought that the home needed a study, so the original balcony was pushed part of the dining room area into a spacious and comfortable study.

The study room is the use of the original north balcony and borrowed some of the area of the restaurant to transform, so the use of glass partition door on the partition door, neither lose lighting, nor make the restaurant appear crowded because it has been cut some area. And this design also well meets the needs of Ms. Ou's use, when needed, close the door, close the curtain hidden in the ceiling, it can become a completely private and independent room.

The study room was filled with books that designers often read, and computers for work, and even computer chairs, all of which chose red and black colors, namely Mr. and his own, while making the space more layered. A fabric sofa has also been added to the back, and a full floor-to-ceiling window ensures good lighting, where work, leisure and meeting are very comfortable.

The cute bunny seat is the exclusive car for children.

Deqisi's cabinets, Fangtai's dishwasher and hood, Siemens' refrigerator are all brands that Ms. Ou liked very much before and used for many years. The water purification system chose Yikou in Germany.
