When creating a home space, many people will pursue a specific style. However, this fusion home is a different approach, not given a specific style type at the beginning of the renovation, but based on the needs of the homeowner, carefully planned a space that is both usable and comfortable, and suitable for today’s young people’s living habits. This fusion home is a clever blend of American country, Scandinavian and mid-century classic styles, showcasing a different kind of glamour.
It’s also a testament to the fact that style lives on. Classic and highly regarded styles are far more than just an external form, they are a visual expression of attitudes and design concepts. The spiritual core and emotional support behind these styles have always influenced us in a subtle way, leading us to pursue a more comfortable and comfortable life.
The original traditional hardcover house, despite having a floor area of 140 square metres, three south-facing bedrooms and a double balcony, the overall design was bland and unattractive, making it difficult to inspire the homeowner’s desire to move in immediately.
However, after careful remodelling, this fusion home has undergone a magnificent transformation in terms of layout, furniture and style. It not only meets the needs of the homeowner in different stages of life, but also creates a quiet, comfortable leisure space that makes people long for it, as if they have found a warm harbour that truly belongs to them.
Ⅰ. Elegant and low-key medieval style, enjoy life in the flow of light and shadow
The sense of ceremony of returning home is quietly opened from the entry area. The entrance cabinet directly opposite the door is cleverly designed, can be used as a shoe bench, but also used to store commuting clothes in the cupboard, convenient and orderly. While practical, it is also highly decorative, becoming a highlight of the entrance end view. A small painting hanging in the middle is full of family warmth, as if telling the owner who returns home late: “There is always a light for you too.
In order to increase the storage volume of the entrance cabinet, the designer extended it to a small part of the living room space. Such a design, just with the TV background hanging decorative cabinets perfectly blended together, more holistic and spatial sense of hierarchy.
On the left hand side of the entrance door, a set of high cabinets doubles the storage capacity for the entry area. Powerful storage function not only meets the daily needs, but also allows space to be released, highlighting the owner’s unique style and lifestyle. Through the entry area, a picture of ‘living room and kitchen’ unfolds. The black-and-white terrazzo tiles and the parquet flooring are cleverly connected, not only dividing the two functional areas, but also realising the perfect fusion of the two styles.
After removing the sliding door at the balcony, the living room becomes more transparent and comfortable, and the lighting is much better. Light is reflected through the large windows to all corners of the space, even if you are indoors, you can always keep in touch with the outdoor nature.
The lines of the living room are clean and smooth, and the choice of furniture and materials exudes a sense of sophistication that transcends time. Warmth, restraint, nature, and class – these elements are woven together to create both a homely atmosphere and an air of elegance. This is perhaps what makes mid-century design so appealing – timeless and classic.
The top of the living room, on the other hand, is cleverly styled to incorporate the style of an American country home from which it was inspired. The criss-crossing lines not only naturally enhance the space, but also create a relaxing and cosy atmosphere.
With excellent lighting, even in the busy city, you can also enjoy the ‘American country style’ unique spontaneity and freedom. In the flow of light and shadow, time passes quietly, and the rhythm of the changing seasons can be clearly felt. Every moment of warmth and joy spent with the family is tenderly framed in the interplay of light and shadow.
The furnishings in the living room appear particularly loose and free, abandoning the traditional layout and adopting a more interactive guest pattern. This design facilitates communication and allows for effective companionship. ‘Face-to-face communication’ itself is a wonderful social experience, lively, relaxed and sincere. In an age where people are often too preoccupied with their own worlds, having a place where they can chat and share their lives is particularly valuable. At the same time, such furnishings also make the space more flexible in terms of movement.
Although the furniture is the centre of the space, the essence of life is the core. Such a design makes the space truly serve the life and satisfy people’s desire for a better life.
The invisibility of the TV wall is integrated to avoid the living room falling into the ‘traditional’ and ‘rigid’ circle. Ultra-thin frames like paintings on the wall, with simple and retro TV cabinet modelling, both cultural heritage and very sharp atmosphere. The integration of the sense of line will always make the space become more regular.
II. Retro is a kind of attitude to life, flowing in the kitchen and dining
The open dining space adds visual beauty to the living room and allows the two areas to naturally blend and complement each other. This design makes daily life easy and relaxed.
The dining kitchen is completely integrated in a semi-enclosed form, and the design of the cabinets ensures enough storage space to hide the trivial daily life in the cabinets, so that the style is gradually strong and intense.
The kitchen incorporates different types of finishes to provide a rich sensory experience and spatial texture. For example, the cabinet wall selection of white vertical stripes finger mosaic tiles, not only distinguish the distribution of space, but also more interesting, more durable.
The dining cabinet wall of Bulgari texture rock plate, highlighting the advanced and natural atmosphere. The beige quartz countertops are warm and understated, paired with the warm teak-coloured cabinets, making cooking a healing, unhurried affair.
The cabinet doors, on the other hand, are done in bright skeletal lines, making them an eye-catching presence both from a distance and up close. This design makes the open-plan space stand out and be more interesting, adding details to the space that can be savoured.
The centre of the dining space is a round dining table with a beige travertine texture, which is rustic, warm and versatile, as if it were a natural part of the space. Matching with three antique dining chairs, the whole space has a more harmonious atmosphere.
The unique chandelier is the finishing touch. Designed by a niche Lithuanian designer, this lamp is like a ring of stars, cascading down, skilfully combining natural wood and modern lamps. When the light falls gently, it creates a romantic atmosphere as if you were at a candlelit dinner, bringing endless enjoyment to the homeowner.
Ⅲ. everyone needs a bedroom suite, appropriate to maintain a sense of distance from life
The master bedroom is a very private space, located at the end of the corridor. It is also the transformation action is relatively large space, the designer will be the master bedroom next to the bedroom space linked up to create a whole bedroom suite. The dynamic line is smooth and functional, comfortable and stylish aesthetics coexist.
The sleeping area is quiet and tidy without unnecessary furnishings. Teak-coloured wall panels replace the headboard, making it a more minimalist design. Bedding is also light-coloured, simple and soft, and the whole sleeping area exudes a calmness that rejects too much information and focuses on resting and settling down.
Beige latex paint wall, but also let the sleeping area more light retro temperament, the natural sense of breathing.
Next door to the sleeping area is a storage-heavy area created. The addition of a walk-in cloakroom increases the storage volume of the bedroom by at least three times, and also allows the homeowner to more reasonably partition storage, such as the male wardrobe, female wardrobe, commuter wardrobe, and temporary storage. The designer also used the bedroom’s floating window to build a reasonably sized small dresser space that is compact and harmonious.
The main bathroom continues the refreshing style with mosaic tiles with Bulgari textured rock slabs, showing an elegant and atmospheric texture. The public bathroom, although limited in size, achieves simplicity without monotony through a rich and layered combination of materials – white mosaic tiles, teak-coloured finishes and plain ceramic tiles are cleverly matched. The partitioned design of the mirrored cabinets is also a plus, not only adding storage, but also allowing the bathroom to achieve a high balance between practicality and style.
This fusion home, with its unique style lends, showcases the charm and fusion beauty of different styles. It is not only a living space, but also a work of art full of life attitude and design concepts. Here, we can feel the elegance of mid-century classic, the casualness of American countryside and the simplicity of Scandinavia.
The existence of style is for a better life, an intuitive expression. When we give up the definition of ‘style’ and look for our attitude towards life and understanding of family, we will meet with the style that truly belongs to us. This fusion home is the best interpretation of the homeowner’s attitude towards life, but also the perfect application of mixed styles in home design.
