In the face of the hustle and bustle of the city and the complexity of things, when we return to their own lives, the only way to give up the tedious, the pursuit of a simpler way of life, in order to find the real belongs to their own habitat of the soul. And all this is inseparable from the careful design of home space.
Floor Plan and Living Requirements
The owner of the house is very busy at work and often needs to work overtime at home, which is very stressful. Therefore, he hopes that the design of the house can be more humane and comfortable.
The hostess occasionally has to hold teleconferences in the evening, and her mental exhaustion makes her have extremely high requirements for sleeping comfort, and desires an extremely comfortable sleeping environment. In her free time, she likes to do yoga at home to relax her body and mind, and she also loves to cook western food and prepare rich and varied cuisines for her husband and son.
At the same time, as the couple is busy with work and travels frequently, how to store all their belongings in a neat and orderly manner has become a top priority.
Overall Design Ideas
Based on the daily hobbies and living requirements of the host and hostess, the designer made an overall layout plan. The overall spatial design is based on comfort and practicality, which not only creates a comfortable private world for the two of them, but also provides more space for the growing children to have fun and learn.
Remodelling Tips
- Concealed storage: The overall space adopts the concealed storage method to create enough storage space. This will not only make the space clean and bright, but also make things easy to access.
- Multi-functional living room: create a multi-functional living room that integrates rest, communication, entertainment and learning, fully preparing for the family’s emotional communication.
- Open Kitchen: Design an open kitchen to expand the view of the living room and set up an environment that doubles as a dining room and office area.
Living room design
With the development of society, people’s demand for home is no longer limited to simple ‘living’. The home carries people’s lives and represents the taste of the residents.
Before the design, the designer takes the function and living habits of the residents as the starting point, and rearranges and uniquely plans the functional lines of the space. Breaking the traditional rigid spatial boundaries, the designers have created a home without boundaries and full of warmth. Organic dialogue is achieved between functions, creating a comfortable and beautiful living space.
After listening to the needs of the host and hostess, the designer divided the space into two. The table at the back is for the office of the host and hostess. The small space in front of the window is enough for the hostess to play and sip tea with her children.
The balcony windows and doors are made of large glass instead of traditional ones, which increases the cost of creation but brings the most beautiful night colours into the home. No matter which angle you look from, you can be surrounded by flowing clouds and breeze, with an unobstructed view and a wonderful window view.
During leisure time, the family can play games on the soft sofa. The lady of the house can also play a beautiful piece of music with her children.
Kitchen and Dining Room Design
Truly perfect design, first of all for the sake of the user, at the same time cleverly combined with the environment, dealing with the relationship between space.
The home has an open-plan kitchen and dining area as soon as you enter, with the living room and a hidden storage room to your left. In fact, the designer has boldly adopted the ‘blurring of boundaries’ design approach, combining the three functions of kitchen, dining room and living room into one space.
When the hostess is cooking in the kitchen, she can see her children at play without worrying about them bumping into each other. When the host is working at home, the hostess can call the host to help her, and the call will reach the host’s ears accurately. This is a good solution to the lack of interaction in the traditional room design.
This design invariably brings the family closer together and leaves enough space for family interaction.
The partition between the dining room and the kitchen is completed by the operating cabinet with light lines, and the operating space is also hidden in the white cabinet door, which is visually refreshing and adds a little design texture to the space. The storage compartment under the cabinet door provides a place for small items.
The semi-open kitchen is connected to the dining room, and the hostess does not have to worry too much about grease and smoke because she cooks in Western style.
Pull open the kitchen cabinet doors, you will find new surprises. The items in the kitchen are of different sizes and shapes, and the pull-out drawers can be placed separately; the shelves under the cabinets are reasonable storage, multi-layer use of space, so that the kitchen storage space can be maximised; the spices commonly used in the kitchen are put into the same side of the cabinet door, which is effective in differentiation and convenient for the hostess to use.
Bedroom Design
The bedroom is dominated by grey tones and original wood tones, bringing a natural and simple atmosphere. Pure linen bedding adds a touch of quiet serenity to the space, which can bring a good sleep environment for the occupants.
Window cushions seem particularly thoughtful, in the work tired, brew a cup of coffee, sit on it, look at the scenery outside, not only can relieve eye fatigue, but also effectively slow down the pressure brought about by the work.
Such a non-disturbance, pleasant home, so that people living in it as from the shackles of liberation, think carefully about what kind of life they really want to live, and for this in the end what do you need, and what do not need, as to subtract life.
Children’s room design
The light from the floor-to-ceiling windows makes the children’s room look extraordinarily transparent, and the choice of the simplest white as the wall colour ensures that the room is bright. The bunk beds are well prepared for future additions.
The wardrobe opens up additional storage compartments that mirror the desk, ensuring both functionality and aesthetics, as well as storing the child’s toys.
The storage wardrobe next to the desk can store the child’s clothes, shoes and hats. The desk is embedded in the wall, and the cupboard above and the drawer below can store a lot of books, providing plenty of space for the child’s growth and learning.
Bathroom design
The bathroom cleverly uses drawers, cabinets and partitions to achieve functional zoning. It is not only convenient for storage, but also can isolate the dust. Facing a well-organised bathroom, I think the owner’s mood will be relaxed.
Storage design details
Living room work area storage design
Nowadays, how many guests can there be in the living room every day? What is the real need of the owner for the living room? Of course, it is to connect the parent-child relationship, and at the same time to meet the needs of work.
Taking this into consideration, the living room space is divided into several functional areas: work, entertainment, meeting guests, resting and study area. The living room has a separate work area for the male and female hosts, with a work desk that can carry all the objects needed for their daily work.
In order to cultivate children’s interest in learning, a three-dimensional bookcase is built between the blurred boundaries of the living room and dining room, and a piano is embedded in the bookcase. The piano is embedded in the bookcase so that the children can read when they are tired of studying.
At the same time, considering the child’s future growth path, the designer puts some interesting books within the child’s reach. In the height of the child can not reach the height of the child placed some boring books, waiting for the child slowly grow up, to explore the secrets of the book, stimulate the child’s desire for knowledge.
Dining room storage design
The kitchen is often a small, easily overlooked space in the home, but contracted a family of firewood, rice, oil and salt, three meals a day, affecting the family’s quality of life and sense of well-being. When designing the kitchen storage, the designer took into account the needs of the hostess in the cooking line, the overall space is divided into food storage area, food cleaning area, food operation area, food cooking area.
At the same time, through the clever use of multi-layer cabinet mezzanine partitions, each item will be neatly organised.
The protagonists of the food storage area are the refrigerator and the dry cabinet, which are used for storing fresh food, frozen food and some seasonings, while the dry cabinet is responsible for grains and cereals such as rice and noodles.
Of course, when the storage space is not enough, you can also use the wall to do a three-dimensional storage, just with the help of the hole board + a number of inserts can be, a variety of cleaning tools can be stored in a comfortable manner. The lower part of the sink space, with the help of storage tools, maximise the use, storage of detergent and other cleaning supplies.
Food handling corresponds to the storage of the main cooking tools and seasoning jars. Countertops are the most frequently used places in the kitchen, and if all kinds of spices, cutlery, and kitchen utensils are piled up on the countertops in a messy manner, the load of the kitchen will become heavier and heavier.
Therefore, when designing storage in the kitchen, the spices, cutlery and kitchen utensils that are essential for cooking should be stored in the cabinets in different categories. The double-layer, two-row structure of the cabinet and the pull-out basket can store knives, spoons, spices and other small items to meet a variety of storage needs, very user-friendly.
It is worth mentioning that the space for storing dishes, through the use of dish racks, not only to expand the number of dishes, but also more secure, will not be pushed and pulled because of the cabinet and the bump. The pots and pans underneath are also neatly organised into categories for easy access.
In addition to this, an exclusive housekeeping cabinet has been created for kitchen cleaning utensils, next to which are placed finished small pieces that facilitate the storage of items for kitchen chores, such as cling film and rubbish bag storage. For the hostess who lacks the time to organise her supplies, such an all-in-one storage system is the best aid to comfortable living.
Master bedroom storage design
The overall colour of the master bedroom is fresh and natural, and the oversized window ensures that the whole room is well lit. For the storage design of the master bedroom, not only pay attention to the beauty and atmosphere, but also pay attention to the practicality.
The overhead wardrobe is perfect for maximising the use of space. The overhead wardrobe has a row of lockers for quilts and other clothes, and the ceiling eliminates the need for dusting. The space next to it can also be used as a work area.
Children’s room storage design
The arrangement of the room is not set in stone, and the height of the furniture is also set reasonably according to the height of the baby.
With the growth of age, clean up the room can also become a fun parent-child activity, to help men and women consciously cultivate the child to organise their own toys, supplies, good habits.
Bathroom storage design
The bathroom is only a few square metres in size, but it is the most commonly used area of the home. There are not only many bottles and cans for washing and care, but also all kinds of towels for the whole family, so neat storage has become the top priority for small bathrooms.
Bathroom storage is perfect, bathroom cabinet selection plays a big impact. A good bathroom cabinet can greatly solve the problem of small bathroom storage. The case of this bathroom cabinet is not large, but the storage function is very in place, the upper and lower two layers of the design, a family of three bath towels, bathrobes can be perfectly stored.
The washbasin usually accounts for 2/3 of the bathroom area, but also the bathroom is the highest frequency of use, the most fragmented items in the place. By setting up a hanging cabinet above to place daily toiletries and a floor cabinet below to place toilet cleaner, brushes, and laundry detergent, the storage problem of the washbasin is perfectly solved.
Through the above careful home space design and storage design, we have created an ideal home for this family that is comfortable, practical and well organised.
