Haruki Murakami once said, "Everyone has a little forest of their own in their heart, and even if they have never been there, it is still there."
For those who live in the hustle and bustle of the city, they also have a small forest in their hearts, a place where they can get infinitely close to nature and feel infinite warmth, and that is home.
In this case, the owner used the most primitive and rustic materials to create a "natural" space in his new home. Every corner of the whole house is filled with warmth, and as soon as you open the door, it is like stepping into a small forest, which is very rich.
The new house has a built-up area of 169 square meters and has a total of four rooms and two halls. For a family of three, this type of home is quite comfortable, and no matter how it is modified and arranged, it is enough to meet their living needs.
However, there was an obvious problem with the original layout, namely the entrance area, which was not only cramped, but also affected in terms of vision and space use because it faced the room door. Therefore, a focused renovation of this location is necessary.
The remodeled plan includes the following major adjustments:
The toilet next to the entrance is directly eliminated to improve the sense of space in the entrance area and solve the locker function at the entrance.
The kitchen is connected to the small balcony next to it, and a western kitchen area is planned to increase the functionality of the restaurant.
The door opening of the master bedroom is adjusted twice to avoid the crowding of the hallway.
The renovated entrance area is equipped with a set of L-shaped wardrobes, which can not only accommodate clothes for the four seasons, but also significantly improve the sense of space.
In addition, the wooden stool with a special-shaped design is both decorative and can be used as a shoe-changing stool.
The restaurant is made of retro-style hard-decorated materials, with the green self-leveling treatment of the floor as the highlight, and the hexagonal floor tiles are mixed with the floor, perfectly showing the natural rustic feeling, as if you are in a wooden house in the forest.
The walls of the dining room are made of 100 lattice shelves and red bricks, which not only show good storage functions, but also echo the retro furniture. The convex red brick details are not only unique and convenient for the display of artworks, but also full of texture.
The original small balcony has been converted into a western kitchen area, and the bar counter is decorated in wood to create a wooden shape that does not hinder transparency and harmonizes with the wooden beams on the roof of the restaurant. The oil painting decoration on the wall once again shows a sense of naturalness and adds warmth to the overall space.
Although the western kitchen area is mainly designed to relieve the pressure on the kitchen space and enhance the function of the restaurant, from a visual point of view, this design is highly decorative and in line with the "natural" style.
The green wall tiles in the kitchen create a sense of **, and the cabinet size is customized according to the height of the male owner, which is very user-friendly.
The TV wall in the living room adopts the same design idea as the wall in the dining room, using the most ordinary red bricks to show a sense of natural simplicity. The projection screen is fixed directly to the TV wall, showing a sense of atmosphere, especially suitable for large apartments.
The biggest highlight of the sofa wall is a whole flamingo mural, with a circle of wood shapes, which perfectly presents the effect of a wooden house in the forest. The tin wooden box replaces the traditional coffee table function, adding a retro natural feel.
The master bedroom floor is covered with rare tiles to match the overall style and facilitate cleaning. The wooden plank elements in the background of the bedside and the wooden moulding elements of the suspended ceiling bring enough temperature to the space. The bathroom was left in its original state, and a set of wardrobes was added to address storage needs.
The basin cabinet is made of on-site brickwork, which conforms to the size and integrates with the overall style. The double washbasin design makes it easy for couples to share.
The individually planned cloakroom is a natural touch with green finishes. The corner table facing the window can be used as both a dresser and a desk.
The children's room is made into an activity area through ** elements, which increases the interest of children, and the application of pink tones makes the space look cute and romantic. The layout of the study is more conventional, retaining the function of the guest room, and the furniture finishes create a retro feel with texture.
The biggest feature of this case is the self-leveling of the ground and the treatment of hard materials, although it presents a retro style, but it fully meets the needs of the owner for a natural feeling, warm and distinctive.
