I just graduated when I bought a house and was short of money. It is fate to choose this small house. The first principle set before the renovation is economical, practical, simple and environmentally friendly, because it is considered that the house may be replaced after several years of improvement in life (however, it will be hit in the face by the price of Magic Capital after renovation). A lot of furniture is purchased from IKEA and Taobao, and the customized furniture part is as simple and affordable as possible. Therefore, the final home improvement style is also simple and grounded.

I hope my small family can bring inspiration and help to young friends, small-sized owners and sumitomo who like simple home decoration style. In addition: the decoration cost includes all soft and hard furniture (including the old sun room), excluding household appliances. The building area is less than 67 (excluding terrace), and the usable area is 56 (indoor)+16 (sun room).

Housing information:

Coordinates: Shanghai

Area: 70 square meters

Cost: 20w

family planning

An old apartment in Shanghai. Take a fancy to its advantages: ① the two rooms face south, the bedroom is relatively large, and parents can live comfortably when they come; (2) there is a large terrace (relative to the area of the house itself); ③ Full bright side cover; The kitchen is relatively large. My family and I like cooking at home. The biggest drawback: the living room is too small, which is also a common problem in many old houses.

porch

The porch shoe cabinet, the upper and lower cabinets are separated, and the desktop is left in the middle to put what you can take when you go out; Hoisting from the lower cabinet with slippers at the bottom looks neat. Hook, bag, scarf, umbrella, etc. Put it on the right hand side of the door. The part I want to transform later is to add a full-length mirror to make it easier to organize myself before going out.

restaurant

Limited by the apartment type, the living room area is only about 9 square meters. In order to make the whole space not too crowded, the host abandoned his obsessed sofa and integrated the functions of the guest restaurant. Take the dining table as the center of the living room, with a card holder and a chair on both sides.

A TV set is placed opposite the card stand. When they are at home, they sit at the booth and watch the show while eating. When the guests came, they sat around the dining table. When they want to study and work, the big desk can also be used as a workbench.

The card holder is designed to be L-shaped, and there is a sideboard while holding the card holder. There are also four drawers under the card holder, which has a very strong storage capacity. The other side is equipped with IKEA online celebrity trolley, which is flexible and light. The wall above the booth is a window adjacent to the sun room. With roman blinds, it looks simple and refreshing.

A part of the wall was knocked on the opposite side of the sideboard, and the embedded open bookcase made by the carpenter on the spot was at the same height as the kitchen door next to it. The color of the bookcase should be as consistent as possible with the dining table.

bedroom

On the weekend morning, look into the master bedroom from the living room. That's the happiness that home brings to people.

There are dressing tables and cabinets opposite the bed, both of which belong to IKEA. This part of the owners also want to transform: add a row of invisible wooden shelves with good texture above the TV and place some green plants and decorations. But I haven't found a suitable one, so I put it on hold. I hope this part will be more lively

Because it is a small space, the wardrobe chosen is the top sliding door wardrobe, which can maximize the storage function and leave no sanitary dead ends. The total width of the cabinets here is too large, so three doors have been opened.

Picture of storage inside the wardrobe. Canvas baskets are used to store clothes that don't need to be washed once. According to the convenience of opening the door, drawers and iron racks are selected at the bottom as clothes storage.

In the master bedroom at night, I changed a set of bedding. Both bedroom beds are high-box storage beds that can be turned up.

The second lie

The second bedroom is connected to the inner balcony facing south. Due to the good light in the south and winter, a drying system is also arranged, and the drying in other seasons is mainly in the north sun room. A high-rise locker is made on the west side of the inner balcony, which is flush with the wall battlements and will not appear depressed.

The entrance side is also a high sliding door wardrobe.

There is a small family work area on the east side of the inner balcony, all made by IKEA.

At this stage, the second bedroom is basically a place where parents come to live occasionally. Considering the living habits of parents, TV is fake. After the TV is hung on the wall, a shelf is added below to facilitate storage, and the wall is not so monotonous.

kitchen

The kitchen is a strip with a width of about1.9m. If all three sides are made into U-shaped cabinets and countertops with a depth of 600mm, people's activity space will be crowded. If you only make L-shaped cabinets, the countertop area is too small, which will be very inconvenient to operate.

So the owner compromised and made an L-shaped lower cabinet, and the remaining side was processed into a 350mm deep shelf, which was fixed with triangular braces, greatly increasing the countertop area. Make a cabinet with a smaller depth above the shelf to increase the storage space as much as possible, and it is resistant to dirt and easy to take care of.

Many friends asked me how to fix the shelf, as shown in the picture. At the bottom of the shelf, you can let go of carts, trash cans and so on, which is very flexible. Another advantage of shelves is to save money! Generally, cabinet companies charge money by the meter for making cabinets, but only by the area for processing shelves. The fixed parts are from Taobao, and the cabinet company helps to install them.

Cut and match areas.

Cooking area.

Shelf countertops are mainly used to place commonly used kitchen appliances, and can also be used as compensation countertops for side dishes.

In addition to cabinets, hanging rods, brackets, magnets and barbed wire are also used on the walls. So as to improve the storage capacity.

The sliding door without doors in the kitchen enhances the value of the whole home!

lavatory

The bathroom is also very small. The bathroom cabinet and the toilet are arranged opposite each other, and the wall-mounted toilet water tank opposite can be seen from the mirror cabinet. After installing the toilet, it is found that the bathroom cabinet is too close to the toilet and the channel size is too small.

Fortunately, this semi-trailer basin was discovered later, which staggered the position of the basin and the toilet, and the depth of the countertops in other positions was shallow. There is a small gap between the bathroom cabinet and the shower room, and a long trash can is hidden:) Try to put your things on the wall.

Because the position of the toilet was moved, the wall-mounted toilet was chosen. An electric towel rack is installed above the toilet to keep the towel dry and increase happiness.

corridor

There is a recessed area in the aisle at the entrance of the bathroom, which is used as a whole locker. The owner's pursuit of storage function is so persistent!

balcony

The terrace used to be completely open, very open. But for practical purposes, they are all sealed up and made into sun rooms, which are clean and easy to take care of. A sunshade curtain is installed at the top of the glass, which can be opened and closed as required. The host said: I feel so happy when I see the sunshine in the morning. At this time, I like washing in the sun room best.

The terrace is rectangular, with washing, cleaning and greening planting areas in the east.

Front view of the laundry area. The laundry cabinet is Taobao's integrated laundry cabinet, which is affordable and comfortable to bask in the sun on the terrace. The disadvantage is that the countertop is not resistant to dirt. The storage system designed by IKEA Aygit is light, flexible and very practical. Washing and drying integrated washing machine is very practical in Shanghai.

To the west of the sun room is a leisure and fitness area. A row of IKEA Billie bookshelves was placed on the westernmost wall, blocking the air conditioning duct coming out of the living room. Affordable, not afraid of sunburn. I bought a mini collapsible downwind treadmill, which is most suitable for small houses. The perforated plate on the wall is inspired by the Internet, and it is convenient and tidy to store cleaning tools.
