With the change of modern house types, the usable area of each room is gradually decreasing, triggering a trend to make full use of space in decoration.
Traditional home décor rarely uses a lot of cabinets, but today's home decoration is full of cabinets. For this kind of decoration design, I have always had reservations.
Suggestion: Even if the house is small, some areas should still be empty, this is not a feudal superstition, but has its own rational basis.
This sharing focuses on:"Leave the design blank"to divide the content into the following sections: in front of the TV backdrop; bedside bedroom; the inside of the balcony window; Toilet; Kitchen; Porch.
a) In front of the TV backdrop.
There is a specific area in the living room that must be kept open, in front of the TV backdrop. This area is located between the coffee table where we place it and the TV backdrop.
However, sometimes people opt for floor-to-ceiling TV stands and add large coffee tables. As a result, it was found that the space in front of the TV background wall was very narrow, which was actually unreasonable. Because the narrowness in front of the TV background wall can cause the following problems:
1.Inconvenience through it. For example, the passage from the living room to the balcony passes through this area. If the aisle is narrow, people will always worry about hitting a coffee table or TV stand.
2.Feeling narrow. The usual feeling is that the whole house is blocked, making the interior space seem cramped and unventilated, making it feel oppressive.
When there is a limited area to move around, especially if you have small children at home, you may be worried because of the limited space to move around.
In the area in front of the TV background wall, it is recommended to keep at least 1A space of more than 5 meters, i.e. the distance between the coffee table and the TV stand. This ensures that the space appears more spacious.
One arrangement option is to choose a small coffee table that can be moved and paired with a simple TV cabinet to make the living room more open.
The side of the bed in the bedroom is another place that needs to be left empty. The traditional bed arrangement is usually in the middle of the bedroom, with the head of the bed near a wall. However, due to the increase in cabinets, the side space of the bed is becoming more and more narrow.
Some beds are even placed against the wall, such as tatami beds. This can lead to a number of problems:
First of all, the bedroom can feel crowded and oppressive, especially when lying in bed and feeling surrounded by objects and very uncomfortable.
Secondly, it is not convenient to move, especially when getting up at night, it is easy to bump into the bedside, there are certain safety hazards, especially for the elderly and children at home.
Poor air circulation is a significant problem in the bedroom, when the whole bedroom is full of objects, it is difficult for fresh air to circulate smoothly, affecting the quality of our breathing.
In order to improve this problem, the following practices are recommended:
First, place the head of the bed in the bedroom against the wall and make sure that there is at least a metre of space between the sides. If conditions are restricted, at least 0Distances of more than 8 meters.
Second, try to keep the bed and cabinet in the bedroom separate. Make sure the cabinet is the cupboard and the bed is the bed, and leave a gap between them.
When it comes to the inside of the balcony window, many homes tend to make the most of this area, designing it as a functional space such as a desk, bookcase, or storage cabinet. However, such a design can lead to the following problems:
First of all, balcony windows are not very well utilized, for example, they are designed as desks but are rarely used, often just furnishings, and may eventually be abandoned.
Secondly, balcony windows need to be opened frequently, but if the inside is fully utilized, opening the window becomes quite inconvenient and may even lead to collisions.
Finally, hanging clothes can also become inconvenient, and if you make the inside of the balcony window a recreation area, you may encounter obstacles when hanging clothes.
Therefore, it is recommended to keep the space as empty as possible when designing the inside of the balcony window, and avoid excessive decoration and use, so as to improve the practicality and comfort of the balcony window.
1.For the inside of the balcony window, it is recommended to keep it as empty as possible. When using, the curtains should not exceed the height of the balcony, and the width should not exceed thirty or forty centimeters.
2.The interior design of the balcony window should be simple and practical. The easiest way is to use the balcony as a drying area, which not only makes the balcony more spacious, but also more airy.
3.Regarding the bathroom, there is also a need to set aside some space. Although modern bathrooms are usually smaller, especially two-bathroom units, the bathroom area is more limited, most are still under 5 square meters, or even only three or four square meters.
4.Many people want to have a variety of items in their restrooms to maximize their storage capacity. However, this practice can lead to the following problems:
It is inconvenient to move around in the bathroom, such as brushing your teeth and washing your face, which is easy to touch other items, which is a potential safety hazard.
It is difficult to circulate air in the bathroom, and if the cabinets and shower rooms are flooded, the space is almost full and the air cannot circulate.
The bathroom was dim and felt even more stuffy, which was a serious problem caused by the pile-up of various items.
Recommended Practice: Plan your restroom to avoid excessive accumulation of items to ensure easy movement, good air circulation, and a bright and pleasant hygienic environment.
1.When decorating a bathroom, consider the basic functions first: shower, toilet and washing. Once you've arranged these elements, start thinking about effective storage options.
2.In terms of storage in the bathroom, it is recommended to install functional shelves afterwards, such as shelves in the shower room and washing area, to keep them simple and practical.
3.When decorating the kitchen, you should focus on leaving enough space. However, many families often go against this philosophy and over-enrichment the kitchen space in their design.
4.When renovating a kitchen, proper circulation planning is crucial. Excessive pursuit of storage and space utilization often leads to undesirable results.
5.There are a few problems with a well-designed kitchen:
The kitchen is inconvenient to use, because it only focuses on storage and ignores the convenience of actual operation.
The layout is not reasonable, and although the spaces are fully utilized, the actual use is inconvenient.
The ventilation effect is poor, and it is difficult to form good air convection, which leads to the aggravation of the smell of oil smoke.
6.Recommended Practice: While considering storage and space utilization, it is important to pay attention to the actual flow planning of the kitchen to ensure that you design a convenient, practical and well-ventilated kitchen.
First of all, considering the layout of our kitchen, it is important to plan the flow of the kitchen reasonably. Whether it's a slotted or seven-shaped kitchen, it needs to be designed with a purpose.
When designing your kitchen, it's important to leave plenty of room to move around and make sure every move is easy. For example, moving space from the sink to the cooktop should be fully considered in the design.
In home renovation, there is one place that cannot be ignored is the entrance. The hallway is a key location after entering the home and is essential for overall air flow.
Some house types may have restrictions on the setting of the entryway, and some families have even eliminated the entryway in favor of other renovations in this location.
However, such a renovation design can lead to poor air flow and a decrease in overall comfort. Some friends design the hallway as a shoe cabinet or locker, which can bring a series of problems:
First of all, setting the shoe cabinet directly in the entrance position, directly facing the entrance door, will make people feel oppressive and crowded.
Secondly, the space of the entrance is reduced and the space of the lockers is increased, making the overall interior space appear narrow.
In the end, some families simply tear down the entrance, and although they feel open when they enter, they lose the unique feeling of entering the house.
Therefore, it is advisable to retain a suitable entryway space in the design, which can not only ensure air circulation, but also maintain the overall sense of openness of the interior.
First of all, in home decoration, we need to cleverly design the entrance according to the house type, and avoid setting up too many cabinets in this position.
In order to achieve this, we need to consider the function while ensuring that the hallway is not only concealed, but also well ventilated to avoid blockages, so as to promote the free flow of air throughout the home.
When doing home renovations, we need to recognize that it is not a blind addition of elements, but the need for appropriate white space and blankness. Keeping some space will make the living experience more comfortable.
After all, we do the renovation to create a livable environment. If the home is full of unnecessary piles and makes people feel breathless, it is obviously not ideal.
On the contrary, a successful renovation is made to make our home feel spacious and comfortable through proper space arrangement.
In general, our decoration concept should pursue a balance between comfort and practicality, rather than blindly pursuing over-the-top and over-decoration.
Only by leaving a moderate amount of space in the space can we truly experience the warmth and tranquility of home. Do you agree with this design concept?
