Color: Dare to have color contrast.
Many designers in the industry believe that this year's home layout trend emphasizes the active and flexible use of colors. Since Pantone, the international color authority, released 20 19? The annual color is 16- 1546 coral orange (live? Coral color), this fresh, warm, unrestrained and warm color brings new ideas to the home. Vibrant colors give people a feeling of vitality, which leads to the popular avocado color, playful and mysterious light blue and pink purple, youthful, dreamy and lively colors competing on stage at the end of the year, making the home market more colorful at the end of the year. Some fashion organizations predict that the popular colors will be more diverse next year. At the end of the year, if you have the needs of "renovation of new houses" and "replacement of old houses", it is definitely a wise choice to boldly use new materials and technologies.
All-media reporters recently found in the newly opened IKEA Tianhe Shopping Mall that IKEA pays more attention to the color jump and change while continuing to adhere to the "cold wind" in northern Europe. Especially in a simple style of furniture, dotted with dreamy pink and purple curtains, sofas with reading glasses patterns are placed in a calm tone, and pillows and quilts are replaced with children's hand-painted flower patterns. Every collision can bring new inspiration and excitement. Blue plates with rose glasses, red side tables with black and white polka-dot curtains, and gradually changing cushions with dark black bedding make the space more lively and interesting.
Although "simple style" is still welcomed by young people, the diversity of styles is also welcomed. When the reporter visited Shangpin Home Store, the designer mentioned that "Chinese style" was more and more popular with customers, but it was different from stereotype. In recent years, as the backbone of consumption, more and more "post-80s" and "post-90s" are becoming more and more interested in "Chinese style", which coincides with the prevailing trend of "national style" in the fields of culture and beauty. Young people are more concerned about how to integrate the classical elements of China into the "framework" of modern fashion style, so that they can not only feel the restrained and reserved national charm, but also perfectly adapt to the simple and lively modern fashion life, that is, the "new Chinese style" which combines the aesthetic essence of the two.
Ms. Zhang, a customer in a whole house custom-made home store, told reporters that she hoped to make the new model have some bright colors, such as fresh and eye-catching green or vibrant yellow. The staff also said that in recent years, green, yellow and other colors have been favored by more customers, and large-scale spreading or local embellishment is more common. A few days ago, WGSN, a British online fashion forecasting and trend analysis service provider, released the trend of popular colors in spring and summer of 2020, predicting that five colors, namely mint green, ancient golden yellow, water blue, blackcurrant purple and honeydew orange, will become hot colors. Previously, the popularity of vegetation green, avocado green and pepper stalk green has not diminished, and lemon yellow and turmeric have occupied a place in fashion and home. It can be seen that these two colors will be "hot" for a while.
"Less is more"? Dakatan decoration experience
When talking about whether there is the idea of "dressing up" at the end of the year, Wu, the head of Wenchuang Industry of Guangzhou Guo Cheng Creative Group, told all media reporters: "For the family, every time or even every stage should be re-examined, and time can always bring new ideas." Wu Shuo, everyone's aesthetic is always related to his experience, so as a designer, when designing his own private house, it is inevitable to integrate his own design experience and aesthetic standards to "check". When designing his own house, Wu doesn't like to dwell on too many "fancy" details, but insists on the principle of "less is more" and aims at real needs. He said, "It is important to deal with the details, not to add cumbersome things. Extra things will always be used to do extra things."
Similarly, Li Jianman, design director of Guangzhou Weibo Product Design Co., Ltd. also told reporters that with the continuous improvement of people's quality of life, the requirements for home design are getting higher and higher. Nowadays, the style of home decoration tends to be diversified and personalized, and young people prefer simple style and Nordic style, and are more avant-garde in design ideas. He said that he also has a special liking for this simple style of "doing subtraction". "My residence is a small three-bedroom apartment of about 90 square meters. Before the renovation, it was the decoration style of the 90 s. It is very old and has many shortcomings, such as poor practical functions. So I also spent a lot of time on the decoration design of this house, which can be regarded as a small work designed by myself. In terms of design and material selection, I will be more inclined to choose a simple and elegant style. " The reason why it is positioned as this modern and simple style is not only out of personal preference, but also because this style is more suitable for the design of small apartments.
Li Jianman told reporters that in order to make the home more practical, the kitchen has become one of the key "transformation objects". The disadvantage of the original kitchen is poor lighting, which affects the ventilation of the living room. Therefore, changing the location of the kitchen can also change the layout of the hall, from the original "8-character hall" to the "1 character hall" pattern, making the hall more spacious and bright. The kitchen interval is changed to glass sliding door, and the semi-open design makes the kitchen space more flexible.
The reporter learned that kitchen design has become more and more "open" in recent years. The advantage is that it can visually enhance the sense of space of small apartments and improve the utilization rate, and because it breaks the space barrier, it increases the interesting interaction between families. However, the fully open kitchen has some problems such as oil fume and cleanliness, while the semi-open kitchen can better fill these defects while retaining its advantages.
In addition to the kitchen, the bathroom is also one of the biggest parts of the designer's transformation. "The original bathroom is equipped with a bathtub. Because the space is small and inconvenient to use, it was demolished. The original area of the public bathroom and the main bathroom is the same, but separated by a wall. This structural feature allows me to easily change the use functions of the two bathrooms. Considering the frequent use of public toilets, I redistributed the area of two bathrooms to increase the dry and wet areas of public toilets. Although the main bathroom has become smaller, it is also complete and does not affect the use at all. "
At the same time, considering that there are children at home, "environmental protection and health" is also a design point that parents pay great attention to. The materials used in the room are solid wood as far as possible. Li Jianman said with a smile, "decorating your own house is also a DIY process. Finding a lot of fun from it and constantly discovering and solving problems is the specialty of our product designers. " He gave the reporter an example. In the design of TV cabinet, in order to make the effect look better, he specially bought a customized handle separately; The space for placing the refrigerator is cleverly embedded in an independent small space, which does not occupy space and is convenient to use; For the wall design of small balcony, after finding suitable tiles in the market, I will do some mosaic design by simulating the effect on the computer first. In order to ensure the visual effect, I personally went to the scene to supervise the production of the decoration master, and achieved the expected results. "Later, I was quite satisfied. This little idea also made my friends directly copy the design of the new house. I feel that my' product' has been recognized by customers, and I am very happy. "
But even designers will inevitably step on the "pit" during the decoration process. Li Jianman said, "There have been many problems, large and small, in the process of transformation. For example, the solid wooden door purchased at that time was ordered with thickened materials. After installation, it was found that the thickness was wrong. Later, they were asked to return the difference. Although it is an unintentional loss of the business, I hope that everyone will pay more attention when purchasing materials. " Wu also warned with personal experience, "Don't think that once and for all, one step at a time, design or life is a learning process. The decision now is just a summary of your past experience, not the final perfect answer. "
Frame partition lamp fittings? It's easy to change old faces into new ones.
Sophia's whole house custom designer introduced in an interview with all-media reporters that with the upgrading of consumption, today's luxury goods have already swept from the fashion circle to the home circle. Looking at the word "light luxury" alone, "light" does not overemphasize product style and technology; "Luxury" embodies the concept of "extreme luxury" from the material, technology, details and overall collocation of products. It is an exquisite and elegant lifestyle and has become the first choice for young families in house decoration or new house design. For example, the leather design of "Cordo" series creates a delicate dermatoglyphic texture and meets the pursuit of exquisite fashion of young consumers. If the style at home is cold, then choose solid color burgundy leather, and the unique sewing process design will be more exquisite in touch and impression.
Modern people pay attention to independent space, and more and more homeowners will choose screens or partitions when decorating their houses. In the newly launched partition series, continuous design is adopted, and surf texture and metal frame are innovatively used, which not only maintains the sense of space transparency, but also creates a rich and delicate visual level, which complements the home decoration style with light and luxurious theme.
Lamps and lanterns are the "trick" to make the atmosphere at home completely different for a while. When having a family dinner, a warm desk lamp can make the food look more delicious and the atmosphere more warm; When you want to study alone, a floor lamp can instantly turn the sofa into an independent space surrounded by light. A desk lamp with a small animal pattern can make children feel interesting when doing their homework, while an LED wall lamp composed of multiple light bulbs placed on both sides of the cosmetic mirror or dressing mirror can make every girl look like a big star.
This year, lampshade products made of rattan and bamboo continue to become the mainstream of lighting. Replacing the lampshade can create a feeling of being close to nature and simplicity at home, plus the green plants that can be placed on the dining table and bookshelf, which can create a warm feeling indoors when the New Year comes.
Decorate a new home? Consider home intelligence?
Although smart home is likely to be a gimmick in quite a few brands or stores, with the deep bundling of smart phones, sweeping robots, home cameras and air purifiers, more and more practical smart homes will enter the family on a large scale in the next year or two.
For example, Mr. Peng installed many smart light bulbs at home. He said that one of the "saddest reminders" in winter is that after going to bed, I found that I forgot to turn off the headlights in the living room or bedroom, and then I had to climb out of bed to turn off the lights. However, after using the smart light bulb controlled by the mobile APP, just say "Hey, Siri, turn off all the lights" to the mobile phone before going to bed, and the smart phone assistant will help you turn off the lights for a second, so that you can sleep peacefully.
After seeing the trend of smart home in the future, IKEA recently officially announced its investment in setting up a new "Home Intelligence" business unit, which is responsible for the rapidly growing end-to-end business of smart devices, such as with Sonos? Jointly launched a bookshelf sound and a desk lamp sound. Bookshelf audio is a square strip, which can be hidden in the bookshelf side by side with books or sandwiched on the wall, making the speaker itself a small bookshelf. The product of desk lamp and audio in one replaces the traditional desk lamp base with audio, which can be controlled by mobile APP. Finally, the stereo as a shelf and the stereo as a desk lamp can form a compact bedroom stereo cinema, which can be controlled by the mobile phone APP. These two products are expected to be listed in China in early 2020. In addition to smart audio stands and desk lamps, the first batch of smart blinds from IKEA were also sold in the United States and Europe last year.
Designer Li Jianman directly expressed his yearning for making the home more "smart". "What I want to do most now is to install a smart home system. In this era when intelligent technology is becoming more and more popular, it is really convenient to remotely monitor the situation at home, remotely control the air conditioner, adjust the indoor lighting and automatically open the curtains through a smart terminal or a mobile phone.
