There are many limitations in the expression of design style and skills in small-sized houses.
All designs should be people-oriented, and the key point is how to facilitate life. All furniture and decorations usually do not pursue luxurious and complicated design styles, but mainly focus on simplicity. Designers should use all skills to pursue visual fluency and expand the practicality of space. Small-sized houses generally need less "walls" and too many obvious functional partitions. Simple and uniform light colors should be applied, simple and compact furniture should be selected or few but fine decorations should be made. Be sure to strive for perfection in details, be careful and do a good job. 2. Specific skills of small-sized home design.
2. 1 relatively simple regional division
The division of space area is mainly based on the needs of homeowners, referring to the characteristics of huxing and the location of doors and windows. Generally speaking, we should follow the traditional rules, such as the reception area is close to the gate,
The rest area is against the wall, and the study area should be well lit and ventilated. In addition, the spatial division of small huxing should not be limited to the spatial division of traditional blocks and developers. "Combination" should be unified, the reception area and dining area can be unified as activity area, the study rest area can be unified as static area, and the dining table can also be used as a place for study and work. Don't have too obvious physical division of the space. Try to distinguish the space by semi-transparent or transparent symbolic methods such as small furniture, colors and decorations. Big leaf plants, hanging curtains, transparent or movable small furniture and slightly uneven floor design can make the room full of layers. 2.2 Simple and unified light tones
Color has the effect of sound and is also the most powerful tool and means. Most of the colors in the room, such as floor, walls and furniture, should not be too messy.
Because the cool tone has diffusion and retrogression, and the light tone with high brightness and low purity has expansibility, the color design of a large area should focus on these two tones as much as possible. The color type of the whole home should be less and not too jumping. Light cold green and light yellow are good choices. When necessary, you can stretch the layering with a few colors, and decorate the room with a small area of contrasting colors, such as blue sofa cover, light green background wall, brown hanging pictures, etc. Yellow and white cushions are a good match. 2.3 the creation of lights
Good lighting can broaden your horizons, and large French windows have the best effect during the day. At night, in addition to the main lighting, you can also add mobile lighting in the corner, such as floor lamps, floor lamps, highlighting the parts that are not covered by the main light source. Lamps and lanterns generally do not use heavy and gorgeous chandeliers, but mainly ceiling lamps with simple styles and light colors.
Some unnecessary non-bearing walls are definitely better than not being demolished. Non-detachable partitions and walls can be replaced by sliding doors, folding doors and glass walls. The most important thing is the application of glass material. Glass dining table and furniture can reflect light and have permeability, which makes the room spacious and bright. If you embed a wall or a local mirror, you can map the scene in the room, which seems to double the space. 2.4 Space development skills
Expanding the practicability of limited space is the main task of designers. The difference between a small apartment and a large apartment is the length and width of the room, but the height is the same. Since the length and width cannot be changed, it is necessary to develop space up and down. To make the space bigger, we should start from the roof. Small apartment refused to have a ceiling. If some open wires must be hidden, there should also be a local ceiling, and the simpler the shape, the better. You can make a wardrobe at the top of the balcony or in the corner of the room where people's activities are not affected, and put some things that are not often used, such as quilts, which can have a good storage effect. The color of the closet should be the same as or similar to the color of the wall. Make a few simple partitions in the middle of the wall, put ornaments and daily necessities, and combine the decoration and storage functions into one. Further down is to make a fuss on the ground.
By heightening the floor of the whole room or heightening the local floor to limit the space, the space under the platform can be well utilized. In addition, tables, chairs, beds and sofas can all be put with boxes with pulleys, which can be pulled out when needed and put in when not needed. And some irregular corner areas are the focus of expanding the value of space utilization. You can use some suitable fabric storage box pendants to fill the space, or you can hang things on the wall with hooks. The overall effect of decoration can not be separated from the line type. Simple curves are visually smoother and more malleable than straight lines. If the lighting effect and the outline of furniture are properly designed into simple curves, there will be unexpected gains. And add a set of straight lines under the wall of the living room, so that the already narrow living room looks much longer.
Things in the kitchen and bathroom are the most messy, so when designing the kitchen, we must put small household appliances such as pots, bowls and microwave ovens of different sizes into customized cabinets according to our living habits. In the bathroom, we should make good use of the top of the toilet, and set up several shelves and partitions in the corner to put towels and toiletries.
Besides drying clothes, the balcony has several good uses. The most common thing is to make a closet on the balcony to store sundries, and it can also be integrated with the bedroom to increase the sense of space. If you want to reduce the area of the kitchen and bathroom, you might as well turn the balcony into another washing area and a gym.
2.5 furniture selection, placement and production
The form, size, color and arrangement of furniture have an inestimable influence on the use effect of small-sized houses. Whether you choose finished furniture to buy home or make furniture according to your needs, you should follow the principle of satisfying the storage function to the maximum extent and making the space spacious and not crowded. Generally, furniture with small depth, simple and exquisite shape, smooth surface and light texture should be used. On the premise of small furniture area, low furniture can make the wall look open and layered, while tall furniture placed against the wall will not waste space. Complete sets of conjoined furniture on the market are more suitable for small-sized homes. Most complete sets of furniture are the same in style and color. For example, furniture with a bookcase above, a computer desk in the middle and a chest of drawers below can be placed in a corner of the room to create a practical learning space without wasting space. Toilet is a good choice for bathroom appliances integrating bath, cupboard, mirror and storage rack. The children's room might as well use bunk beds, with people living above and storage and game space below. Don't use a wall-mounted wardrobe, leave a space at the top of the cabinet and set up a spotlight, which will immediately show the effect of spacious space. Try to make full use of the furniture at home. A table can be a dining table or a desk. In addition, retractable tables and chairs are also the first choice for small units, and sliding doors must save more space. When buying a bed, try to choose a bed with drawers and other storage space below, and the sofa that can be unfolded as a bed has higher use value. You might as well broaden your horizons. In the living room, you can try to place a sofa without backrest and armrest, let the sofa grow into a narrow shape, and then put a few cushions as the backrest. If there are not many guests at home, the sofa should be smaller (Figure 2) and put one or two square or round footstools. When not in use, you can move it to the corner or spread a tablecloth as a coffee table. Therefore, some furniture that can be moved, folded and combined at will is more popular with small apartment owners. Sometimes it is necessary to make some small furniture according to the narrow or irregular space, such as making some partitions to place decorations in the blank space of the wall and making shoe cabinets in some irregular corners.
Furniture placement is also a university question. In order to maximize the use of space, large furniture is usually placed against the wall. The placement of furniture must make people's vision smooth, and it is best not to leave gaps between adjacent furniture to avoid unevenness.
2.6 choice of decorations
The choice and placement of ornaments can best reflect the owner's taste, and the ornaments of small-sized homes should follow the basic essentials of "less but better". Generally, in order to create a simple decorative style and facilitate cleaning, furniture is mostly made of smooth and hard materials, and appropriate plants and soft cloth ornaments can play a good role in adjustment. Don't use too many wallpaper and fabric ornaments with patterns or big color jumps, and don't use heavy ceramics to decorate the space. The biggest decoration of the room should belong to curtains, with many folds, and heavy curtains are suitable for large households. For small apartments, it is best to use light curtains with simple patterns, and the texture of light gauze is up and down. Too much decoration on the desktop or wall can easily lead to messy effects. Hanging a slightly larger landscape painting on the wall can play a good role in expanding the space.
