I've always loved researching home renovation design, putting nice things into my home, and I'm naturally in a good mood, and after finally having my own house, I plan to show off my skills. But after doing a lot of homework in the market, I found some problems: that is, it is even said that it has been "cold" and is no longer put into the home, which makes the older generation unable to understand.
Indeed, in the eyes of the older generation, decoration design should be practical and durable, they believe in the truth of "you get what you pay for", and are always skeptical of flashy decoration and design. Let's talk about the home design that is abandoned by young people and makes it difficult for them to understand.
A hallway cabinet that does not fall to the floor
In the eyes of the older generation, the cabinet should be made into the kind of top-to-ceiling style, and it is too wasteful to have a cabinet like this that does not fall to the ground. And be sure to fill it with the wall, don't leave the space empty.
But designs like this have been abandoned by young people. They prefer to make the cabinet into a suspended design, and you can kick your shoes into it when you enter the house, which is particularly convenient, commonly known as "lazy kicking"! Leaving a little space for a hole board can reduce the feeling of depression caused by the large cabinet when entering the house. You don't need to open the door to put things in the cabinet, and you can hang up your coat, hat or key as soon as you get home, which makes life easier.
Door lock with key
Using a key to open the door, this traditional function has also been abandoned by young people, and more and more people choose smart door locks instead. And some of the older generation are very stubborn and still like to use the key to open. For example, one of the neighbors I visited, the young homeowners told me that their parents didn't like to accept new things, especially smart homes like this, and they said they wouldn't use them. But once because the key was lost, I waited for half an hour in the cold winter before I agreed to change the ordinary door lock to a smart door lock.
Yes, the older generation is sometimes very stubborn, and it is true that they don't know how to use these high-tech, like many young people now install smart homes, and don't install the kind of door locks that are too complicated, with fingerprints, passwords, and face recognition, you can let parents choose any way to open the door.
Do not have a three-piece living room
Don't want a big sofa, don't want a TV, don't want a TV cabinet and a big coffee table, this is in the world of the older generation, the living room design is unreasonable, they think:
But today's young people enjoy this design, without a three-piece living room, the home is more spacious, and they can run around freely when they have children in the future. As for relatives and friends, I can't come a few times a year, and I won't stay for a long time when I come. That's right, you should do it this way in order to give full play to the value of the space.
The balcony is not separated from the living room and does not make a drying area
The decoration of the older generation, the living room and the balcony are to be equipped with glass sliding doors, separate the two spaces, and then install a drying rack on the balcony.
But the younger generation of decoration has abandoned this, preferring to open up the balcony and the living room, and will not make the balcony a special drying area, but install a washing and drying set to release more balcony space.
Yes, for young people, don't waste the best lighting at home, it's too luxurious to just take it for drying, and let it be a multi-functional leisure one. In the winter, I don't want to sit here in the sun, and when I look up, I see a pair of shorts, which is too unsightly.
Do not make a closed kitchen
The kitchen decoration of the older generation will definitely be equipped with sliding doors, so as to prevent oil smoke from drifting out. That's true. However, with the change of young people's lifestyle, they do not make closed kitchens at all, and enjoy the open and airy space more. Just like a young neighbor I visited this time, he told me that in order to give his parents peace of mind, he made a kitchen sliding door, and as a result, he lived in it for more than a year, and although he cooked every day, he rarely closed the door.
So for young people who don't cook much, they won't do a closed kitchen. But in order to let the gas pass, they will first buy a PVC folding door, and after the acceptance is passed, they will immediately dismantle it.
The kitchen and bathroom also do not have an integrated ceiling
Since the kitchen has been made into an open design, if you do an integrated ceiling, it is too bad, so you will abandon the older generation that thinks the best integrated ceiling, and choose a waterproof gypsum board to do the ceiling, indeed, this decoration effect is more atmospheric.
There is also the same for the bathroom, more and more young people do not do integrated ceilings, and do gypsum board like the kitchen. You asked them if they knew the shortcomings of gypsum board used in the bathroom, and they said that they knew, afraid that the moisture would lead to mildew and peeling, but that was also a few years later, first to meet the "appearance", and then again, if you keep ventilation often and make the bathroom dry, this problem will not occur. It's like the bathroom in the hotel, isn't it also made of gypsum board, how many years have passed, it's not like that.
Don't have a traditional dining table
Even the traditional dining table has been abandoned by more and more young people, and the style of choosing the dining table + island is really not to mention, the overall effect is more high-grade (of course, it has to be designed according to the size of the space).
The traditional dining table can only meet the basic needs of dining, reading books, etc., but the design of the dining table and the island breaks this limitation. With an island, you can increase storage space and can also be used as an extension of the kitchen to make cooking and dining flow more smoothly. At the same time, the island can also be used as a bar, so that the family can enjoy the food while feeling a strong family atmosphere.
Xiao Mu suggested: If you don't like the dining table + island as one, you can also design it separately, which will be more flexible.
The living room is not tiled
Tiles are loved by the majority of decorations for their easy care and wear-resistant, including the older generation. Another neighbor of mine, before he got the house, his father was already looking at the tiles for him, and what he wanted was wooden floors throughout the house.
More and more young people choose to lay wooden flooring in the living room, which brings more warmth and vitality to the home with its natural and simple texture, comfortable touch, and rich colors and textures. Compared to the coldness of the tiles, the wooden floors are indeed warmer. My own uncle, when decorating, he chose to lay bricks in the living room, and he now regrets his death, because he chose bright bricks, which can indeed make the home bigger, but in fact, it is not resistant to dirt at all, and it is obvious that there is a little dirty, and it has to be taken care of twice a day. In the end, I couldn't get angry and put another layer of wooden flooring directly on top of the tiles.
Xiao Mu has something to say
People of different generations have different understandings of home design. For the younger generation, what they pursue is not only beauty and fashion, but also their attitude and pursuit of life; For the older generation, their thinking is still more traditional, and we also need to understand that each generation has its own unique way of life and aesthetic concepts, which is a product of the times and a manifestation of social progress. What we're going to do is.
