"My wife complained that our new home, which is 79 square meters, was too small, even though it was twice as big as our previous home. However, she called it practical. This reminds me of a case of a Miss Lin, who is 95 years old and worked for five years to buy a small single apartment. She wanted her home to look simple and spacious, yet warm. The designer dressed up her home in an idyllic style, and the result was stunning.
The overall layout of the house is clean and simple, with silver gray cabinet doors that contrast with the wooden floor, creating a stronger sense of color. The semi-enclosed entrance cabinet offers ample storage, and the hollow design on the right side adds a sense of space while also allowing the owner to store things easily. The entrance is left empty at the bottom, making it convenient to place slippers or shoes that need to be changed when entering.
To create a warm atmosphere, we chose a warmer wood color as the base tone according to Ms. Lin's needs. The living room features gray-white latex paint on the walls, replacing traditional wall decorations with an artistic hanging painting that is more cost-effective. The living room also features a simple suspended TV cabinet design and soft decorations, making it look spacious and full. The light green above the TV cabinet adds vibrancy to the room.
The kitchen adopts an L-shaped layout design, with each functional area clearly defined. The hob and hood are placed on the longer side of the L, and the corner serves as a preparation area for cooking. This layout makes full use of the corner space, and the overall design is flexible and easier for homeowners to operate in the kitchen.
There is no partition between the living room and dining room due to limited space, creating an integrated design that borrows space from each other, visually extending the area. The wood-colored dining atmosphere echoes other spaces, creating a more integrated feel. The sideboard is made of wood and white, creating a layered effect. The left side is decorated with glass elements to increase the permeability of the restaurant, creating a comfortable and natural dining environment.
In the master bedroom, we created a sliding door design for the wardrobe to save space, leaving more activity areas for the aisle. A set of small dressing cabinets were also added to meet the homeowner's needs while making the overall layout of the bedroom look less compact.
The bathroom adopts white as the base tone, with a green bathroom cabinet as an embellishment, creating a simple and natural space that doesn't feel cramped. The niche design and mirror cabinet provide storage while also making the bathroom look more spacious and simple."
