The design of today’s commercial property is generally in favour of small bedrooms in the hall, and many netizens believe that this layout is more suitable for a Dink family or a small family of three. However, for a three-generation family, a relatively large bedroom space is obviously more appropriate. Why?
A young lady who lives with her in-laws shared her experience. She found it rather inconvenient to carry out private activities such as exercise, yoga, office work or even movie watching in a common area like the living room. After all, there are differences in lifestyles and philosophies between the two generations. Over time, she realised that her bedroom was her true “safe haven”.
In fact, in a three-generation family, the bedroom is no longer just a place to sleep. It plays more of a private space or personal space.
When you are aggrieved in life, longing to be alone; when you are not feeling well, need to rest quietly; when you need to deal with work urgently; or when there are strange visitors at home, you need to avoid; and even when the child grows up, needing an independent study space …… bedroom has become your most private harbour, carrying all kinds of living The scene.
So, how to create such a multifunctional bedroom? Let’s explore some design ideas.
01 Bedroom cinema viewing area: cosy and comfortable
XiaoHuaTian shared her experience: she got married three years after graduation, gave birth to a child a year later, and then her in-laws moved in to take care of the child. In the 100 square metres of a small three-bedroom house, the living room became the ‘territory’ of the in-laws. My father-in-law likes to watch TV in the living room, but she is not interested in their viewing programmes.
So she decided to install a projector in the bedroom, so that everyone can watch their own, comfortable and comfortable. Especially in winter, lying in bed and watching films is simply a pleasure.
Installing a projector in the bedroom has become a popular choice for young people nowadays. In order to get a better viewing effect, you can choose to install a curtain. The projector can be installed at the head of the bed and projected to the end of the bed; if the end of the bed can not be installed, you can also choose to install it at the head of the bed and sit on the floor to watch. It should be noted that the electric curtain can not be close to the wall, and should ensure at least 100mm of cooling space.
Curtain material, grey plastic, white plastic and glass pearl curtain is a common choice. White plastic curtain gain effect is small, but the price is friendly; glass pearl curtain can brighten the projection screen, but will reduce the viewing angle; grey plastic curtain is more suitable for home use.
If there is a white wall at the head or tail of the bed, it can also be directly projected on the wall, and the effect is equally good.
02 Bedroom bathroom: private and convenient
BigOrange told her troubles: after marriage and in-laws live with two rooms in an old house, home only a bathroom. It used to be very convenient to live alone, but now you have to dress tightly after a bath to go back to your room, otherwise it will be very embarrassing. Moreover, it’s like a war for four people to grab the toilet every morning. My in-laws are old and have poor metabolism, so it takes a long time to go to the toilet every time.
After living in the house for a few years, she decided to choose a floor plan with a bathroom in the master bedroom when she bought a new house. That way, she would never have to worry about these problems again.
For the design of bedroom with bathroom, you can consider adding a small cloakroom or making an L-shaped cloakroom between the bathroom and the bed, so that the bathroom is no longer directly opposite to the bed. If you want a separate cloakroom, you can add two sets of wardrobes between the two to create a buffer. At the same time, in order not to let the washroom door to the bed, you can use finished lace curtains to cover, both romantic and practical.
03 Bedroom office and dressing area: quiet and happy
TianTianQuan shared her experience of working from home: the frequency of working from home is increasing after the epidemic, but with a family of five living in a 100-square-foot house, she can only work at the dining room table after every meal, which is very disturbing.
The sound of elderly people calling, watching TV and cooking at home, together with the noise of children playing, made her crazy in minutes. Moreover, there is only one bathroom in the house, and the sink is full of toiletries for five people, and her mother-in-law often complains that she buys too much cosmetics.
To avoid these conflicts, she suggests setting up an office area and a dressing table in the bedroom. For women, the ‘wardrobe + desk / dresser’ combination design is the best choice. It saves space, enhances the space, and makes it easy to store and make up.
04 All-purpose master bedroom: my place I make the call
Many homeowners even go so far as to smash walls in order to expand their bedroom area. They do this to make their private space more spacious and comfortable. The bedroom is not just a place to sleep, it also carries the function of our relaxation.
If the bedroom comes with a balcony space, you can simply convert it into a study. This can be used as a study for work, but also can be placed on the lounge chair for reading and relaxation. If the living room balcony has been opened, and the master bedroom with a balcony, or more daily laundry, underwear drying inconvenient, you can use the bedroom balcony as a simple drying area. When not drying, it is the owner’s leisure laze area.
If you don’t have time to go to the gym and think it’s too far and too much trouble, then you can set up a mini gym area in your bedroom. This way you won’t feel awkward even if you live with your elders.
Would you like to live with your in-laws after marriage? For bedroom design, are you inclined to the multi-functional type or just sleeping type? Either way, multi-functional bedroom design is worth exploring and learning more about.
