In this magical Internet era, home, a word that sounds ordinary, has become a small world that countless people aspire to create. Today, I want to take you into a 133-square-meter home to experience the retro American style and modern living wisdom it contains.
The picture starts with a door, how does the world behind this door break the shackles of traditional spatial patterns, and how does it find the perfect balance between practicality and beauty? A couple of homeowners who have a dream to make their home a haven full of retro-American style without sacrificing the convenience of modern living.
To make this dream a reality, they approached a designer and boldly reimagined the original 133-square-meter space. The designer, an artist who knows how to move between tradition and modernity, began this spatial revolution. In the beginning, the house was filled with multiple lightweight walls, making the space cramped and poorly lit.
The designer's first move was to remove these unreasonable walls and let the sunlight shine in every corner without barriers. At the same time, he also cleverly opened up the balcony near the side of the living room, making the common area more spacious and bright. In this way, the originally oppressive space suddenly became easier to breathe. However, the turning point in this story came in the hallway.
The original room type did not have a separate entrance structure, which was obviously not ideal for the homeowner couple who were looking for perfection. How did the designer solve this problem? He designed a white entryway cabinet next to the wall, which can not only meet the function of the shoe cabinet, but also provide enough storage space. What's more ingenious is that he also deliberately reserved the space for the shelf, making this entryway cabinet both practical and beautiful, and becoming the first scenery when entering the door.
Walking into the living room, the owners and the couple did not like the exaggerated large chandeliers, so the designers installed surface-mounted spotlights for them, coupled with small downlights around them, which not only ensured sufficient light, but also created a warm atmosphere. Behind the eye-catching sofa wall, behind the seemingly simple blank space, the designer cleverly used blue wainscoting as an embellishment at the half-height position, subtly integrating the Western style into it.
In addition, in order to facilitate cleaning and maintenance, the designers even removed the carpet and replaced it with enclosed floor tiles to create a floor that is both beautiful and easy to maintain. The real highlight, however, is hidden in the kitchen. In this food preparation space, the designer chose earth-colored tiles, which not only reflect the retro American style, but also make people feel happy when cooking because of the mild colors.
In this way, the wish of the homeowner couple was perfectly realized: an American-style retro space that was both practical and aesthetically pleasing. As time passes, the word home has a different definition in each of our hearts. For the homeowner couple, their home is a story, one woven between vintage American and modern functionalism. It is not only a haven for life, but also a home for emotions and dreams.
We all race against the clock, but let's not forget that we all have the right to make a home for ourselves. The story of the homeowner couple may be the epitome of each of us' dream home. Imagine opening the door and being greeted by a retro-inspired landscape. The walls and floors are covered with earth-colored tiles, and this choice is particularly appropriate in the smoke and smoke.
But that's just the beginning, because every space has its own story, and every story starts with a well-designed highlight. The kitchen, as the core area of the home, reveals the owner's pursuit of quality of life. The combination of dark wood cabinets looks solemn but warm, and the retro style shines with a different light in modern life. Can you imagine what it's like to cook in such an environment?
However, just as you are indulging in the retro atmosphere of the kitchen, a clever corner and the scene of the dining room has been gently brushed along. Here, there is a large round dining table, which is not only convenient for dining, but also a place for families to sit around and share stories of the day. The sideboard against the wall, with its three-part structure, cleverly combines storage and display.
Through the glass cabinet door, the coffee cups and other items placed have become a quiet still life painting, which is both practical and beautiful. Every corner of the house has its own unique features, and the bedroom is one of them. Here, it's all about a peaceful sleeping atmosphere with peace of mind. The wall at the head of the bed is made of earth-colored floral wallpaper, which is warm and calm. The existence of the top cabinet cleverly solves the storage problem and makes the space spacious and tidy.
But don't forget, there's also a dreamy space in the home – the children's room. Here, the designers put more thought into it. On the white bedside wall, the blue world map with different shades stimulates children's curiosity and yearning for the unknown world.
And those childlike decorative software, even when paired with calm furniture, do not look abrupt, but let children have an imaginative growth space. As a temple of knowledge, the design of the study is also simple but not simple. The spacious long table and the wall cabinet next to it are neatly filled with books, each carrying knowledge and wisdom.
Interestingly, in the window position, the designer deliberately made a tatami mat, which is not only used for reading, but also temporarily serves as a guest room, showing the versatility of the space. This is not just a place to live, it is a story, a journey, and a piece of feelings. In the retro style, it is embellished with elements such as blue and flowers, making the overall design rich and exciting. The details reveal the owner's taste and mind everywhere.
These seemingly simple designs are actually the common pursuit of life aesthetics by designers and homeowners. When everything is in order and has its own characteristics, when you can find a comfortable corner in every corner of such a home, is that feeling like finding the warmest color in life?
Therefore, we can't help but ask, a home needs more than just four walls, it also needs such a careful design, doesn't it?
