In the design of a new home, a wine cabinet is usually one of the must-have furniture for a home.
Even if there is no need to store wine at home, many people will have a wine cabinet in their restaurant to display and organize. However, some people are starting to consider whether the function of a wine cabinet is too monolithic.
For example, in this case, the owner decided to equip the restaurant with a set of cabinets based on his family's circumstances and needs. This practice is becoming more and more common these days, and while cabinets may take up more space than wine cabinets, they do make them more practical in terms of the actual experience after moving in.
Located in Beijing, the new house is 90 square meters and has two bedrooms and two living rooms. The owners are a young couple and a dog at home. Their expectations for a new home are simple, they want to create a happy, pure, and exquisite living atmosphere.
The original floor plan was quite irregular, and almost none of the rooms were neat. Therefore, it is important to consider how to make the space from "oblique" to positive in the design.
By demolishing the utility room next to the restaurant, the restaurant area was increased, and a western kitchen area was extended to meet different living needs.
At the same time, remove the inclined TV wall and rebuild the wall partition to improve the space utilization rate of the living room and bathroom. The second bedroom is positioned as a cloakroom to increase storage capacity, and a washing machine is placed in the kitchen space.
Although there is no independent entrance in the entrance area, the transparent structure and good lighting create a fresh and concise atmosphere for the space. A golden tapestry ornament hangs behind the door, embellishing the space without losing its sophistication.
The shoe cabinet adopts a top-to-top structure, designed next to the entrance door, and hollowed out in the middle, which reduces the heaviness of the cabinet and provides some sense of life ritual. The full-length mirror is installed on the side of the cabinet, which solves the needs of daily dressing.
The dining area has been re-planned, with the original utility room demolished and a set of L-shaped cabinets to expand the western kitchen area.
Compared to traditional wine cabinets, cabinets not only completely replace the function of wine cabinets, but also provide a large worktop, suitable for making simple dishes or brewing coffee, while enhancing the social nature of the space.
The inside of the cabinet is full of daily necessities, and the partition on the wall is very practical for both storage and display.
Considering the irregular structure and small area of the kitchen, the open design is adopted to improve the transparency of the space.
The white I-brick walls brighten up the space while adding a sense of playfulness and making the space more lively. To prevent dogs from breaking in, half-height grille doors are installed in the kitchen, which is a common disposal in pet homes.
The living room has been rebuilt with a vertical TV wall to increase the utilization of space. It is equipped with an alcove cabinet for the storage of small items, and the TV adopts a mobile stand to make the space more flexible. Due to the irregular space in the living room, a single-seat sofa was chosen to emphasize the flexibility and freedom of the space.
The cream-white fabric finish is soft and comfortable against the gray floor tiles. The bay window sills were removed to enlarge the area, and blinds were installed to bring soft light and shadow to the space.
The master bedroom is decorated in a gentle brown-green palette with rattan elements to create a fresh, rustic atmosphere. Due to the independent cloakroom, the master bedroom abandons the wardrobe and is equipped with a set of finished low cabinets, which solves the storage needs of small items and makes the space more refreshing.
The curved balcony outside the master bedroom is one of the male protagonist's favorite places, and the astronomical telescope is placed on it, making it an ideal place for leisure, watching movies and working.
The second bedroom is designed in a face-to-face manner, with two sets of large wardrobes designed to meet the main storage needs of the family.
The washer and dryer configuration behind the door solves the basic needs of life and makes the living line more reasonable.
This is the sharing of cases in this issue. The practice of configuring cabinets in the dining room is highly recommended, especially when the kitchen space is small, and the function of the cabinets becomes particularly important.
Therefore, when you are decorating, if you have enough space in the restaurant, you might as well try this design.
