However, what I want to introduce to you today is really a different design. This is the transformation made by designer Natalya in a one-bedroom apartment of less than 40 square meters. Compared with the design pursued by many designers, the sparrow is small and complete, but she goes against the trend and achieves the goal of creating a truly elegant and easy-to-use space by doing "subtraction".
When I first got the plane of this small apartment, the designer also felt very headache. The advantage of this apartment is that the depth is not too big, so the lighting of the whole room is not too bad, but the small room makes people anxious: after entering the door, the bathroom can only put the necessary toilets and washbasins; Although the kitchen is independent, it looks like chicken ribs and is dark because there are no windows. If you put a wardrobe in the bedroom, you can't comfortably put a double bed. In short, all kinds of spaces do not meet the needs of the owners.
The owner is a young couple who pays special attention to the quality of the kitchen and is very eager for a spacious and bright big kitchen. They are not opposed to making the kitchen open, but also very much hope to have a place where they can communicate with their families and cook. At the same time, they also pay great attention to the indoor storage function, and it has always been their dream to have a spacious cloakroom.
Designers work very hard to help them realize their expectations of life. However, because the indoor area is less than 40 square meters, the restrictions are very large. If you add a wardrobe, you will not be able to guarantee enough kitchen or living room space.
After a long struggle, the designer suggested that the owners sort out the desired space functions and sort out the most desired functions, instead of giving up some spaces with weak demand. The functions provided by the Owner are as follows:
Kitchen console > dining room > double bed > cloakroom > living room
Therefore, after synthesizing this ranking, the designer and the owner discussed and decided to try to do some subtraction, merger or even deletion of less important functions. After removing some functions, make the remaining space as comfortable and spacious as possible to make up for the lack of functional space. The final plan is as shown above.
Because the kitchen pipeline is on the left side of the apartment, the designer first considers changing the positions of the bedroom, living room and dining room in the whole apartment, which can extend the space of the whole kitchen.
The functions of the kitchen, dining room and living room are integrated into one, so the kitchen has a 4-meter-long console, which gives the owner enough space to set, wash and cook vegetables. At the same time, the open kitchen layout adopted by the designer is also the most space-saving layout in the kitchen layout. The remaining space is still spacious enough to put a big table comfortable enough. Although there is plenty of space, after all, small huxing is still small huxing. When choosing furniture, you still need to try to choose a style that looks light and simple to avoid excessive decoration. Household appliances such as ovens and refrigerators are also embedded in the wall as much as possible to make the space more pure.
There is a modern chandelier and a wall-mounted TV above the kitchen console. When cooking, it is very comfortable to watch TV and comment on the news with my family. Although there is no living room, it is very pleasant to relax in the relatively spacious kitchen and dining room and enjoy food with family.
In order to ensure the spacious bedroom, a prominent corner was created in the porch. In order to make this room more transparent, the designer also made this corner in the form of glass, and the interior became the cloakroom that the owner had longed for for for a long time. This glass corner has also become a natural window, showing the neat appearance of the interior of the cloakroom. But if the home is too messy, it may not be suitable for such a transparent design.
The design of the entrance is also very careful, and almost all kinds of storage methods are considered, which is very convenient. There is a shoe cabinet and a small blackboard on the wall on the left side of the house, where magazines can be placed at will to record today's memo events. The right hand side is all made into hooks, as well as umbrellas, coats and so on. You can put it down at the door, which is very convenient.
The design of the bedroom is also comfortable and spacious. The upper part of the big double bed is used as a display storage rack, and the walls on both sides are just used as the setting place of bedside lamps because of the protruding parts of various electrical appliances embedded in the opposite kitchen. There is a hanging part below, which is just used as a bedside table. There is nothing abrupt.
In order to increase the permeability of the room, the cloakroom doors are all glass sliding door. There is a wall-mounted TV on the bedroom wall, so you can watch TV gracefully when lying in bed, and it can also replace some living room functions. There is a comfortable seat in the corner for a person to read quietly, and it is also equipped with a special reading lamp. It is also pleasant to read quietly alone.
Although the bathroom is small, it also borrows part of the space of the original shoe cabinet, which is exactly the size of the next washing machine. The bathroom is a bathtub, separated by a thin shower curtain.
In order to save space without being too rigid, the bathroom adopts a very space-saving circular toilet and washbasin, and the mirror also cooperates with this form. The mirror is too round and cute.
The whole small apartment pays great attention to the concealment of various large-scale equipment, which can make the space more pure and avoid various forms of household appliances interfering with the shaping of the overall atmosphere. Therefore, the part of the washing machine is also separated by double doors, so that the existence of the washing machine is not felt when the door is closed at ordinary times, and the room is more concise.
In small huxing, "taking" and "giving up" are sometimes very necessary but important means. In the case of limited space, give up and merge some space appropriately, and let the functions you want to have give full play to your strengths. Perhaps life will be more romantic and leisurely.
