It's like you finally choose your favorite clothes from a dazzling array of shopping malls, but after a year, you find that this year is not in line with your temperament. ......
How can we avoid liking the new and hating the old when decorating and make the house durable?
1, don't blindly follow the trend and lose your original intention.
Many people will go to see some Meitu websites before renovation. They originally wanted the Japanese style of warm wood, but later found that the neoclassical style was expensive and beautiful, so they turned to the wind. After watching it for a while, they were tired of this luxurious style and regretted not installing the warm wood style.
Know your real inner needs and imagine what kind of space you want to live in in the next 20-30 years. It is more important to live comfortably in a house than to look good!
2, into their own unique way of life
The reason why a house is attractive is that the lifestyle it creates must match the cultural accomplishment and life experience of its owner. If the environment can't make the host sing, no matter how luxurious it is, there is no sense of belonging, let alone charm.
Home is the real feedback of life, bearing our different understanding of life and unique lifestyle. Home has also reactivated our ability to perceive beauty, making us more devoted to and love life.
For example, the Zen master who loves calligraphy and China ink painting ▼
Obsessed with tea culture, I am eager to own a tea room, customize a wall-full display rack of tea pots, and a cup of green tea a day is enough. ▽
For another example, the master's house that loves French romance ▼
I like Nordic houses with artistic flavor. ▼
Like an elegant, quiet and bright house, your home must meet your inner desire to love longer. ▽
When we fall in love with a person, we may be attracted by his looks at first, but after a long time, it is more because they have the same temper and lifestyle ... they get along for a long time.
So is the house. Every space has its own personality. This kind of living space has affinity, which will allow residents to integrate into it, find a sense of existence and belonging, return to life and care for their hearts.
Home is not only beautiful, but also the living space and inner world are in harmony, and such a space will not get tired of living for a lifetime.
3. Don't overemphasize style.
Style is not everything!
A beautiful house must be tolerant and will not be broken by occasional homes. From this perspective, too much emphasis on style will limit the future planning of space. Relatively speaking, simplicity and mashup are easier to achieve balance, simplicity is suitable for the public, and mashup is more about testing the taste of the owner.
Third-rate commercial designers will define the style as rigid and standardized, and even sell you design packages, while senior designers will weaken the style and highlight the style and temperament of the house to match you.
▲ mashup
▲ Minimalist style is more inclusive.
4. Reasonable space and dynamic line layout
One more thing, a nice house is not only beautiful skin, but also an interesting soul. This "soul" is the exquisite division of the apartment, the smooth moving line, the reasonable use of space, and the correct "five senses" that people always look pleasing to the eye.
Get the floor plan before renovation, and don't rush to start work. First of all, check whether the space layout is reasonable and can meet your functional requirements.
For example, if you want a cloakroom and a work area, you can use the space at the end of the corridor to achieve it. It is more reasonable to move the cloakroom to the bedroom. ▼
The housekeeping area is planned on the balcony in a unified way, and the household tools are in place, so the living life is more recuperative.
If the bedroom is too small and you want to put down the desk and TV cabinet, you can use the connection design to customize the whole room. The layout design of bed → bedside table → bay window → desk → TV cabinet → wardrobe will save space and live comfortably.
5, the color tone should be unified and coordinated.
Whether the house is installed well or not, the first thing to see is whether the color of the room is harmonious. Tones are like the filters we use to take pictures. We think that color matching should first ensure the uniform color tone, so that it will have a good effect both for viewing and taking pictures.
▲ light gray system
▲ Brown series
▲ Warm wood color system
▲ Girl Pink Department
Here mainly pay attention to three aspects:
① First, whether the color of the main material of the hard suit is in harmony with the color of the large furniture. ▼
② The main color tone is mainly light color, and bright color is not easy to be used in a large area.
Let's look at another negative case:
There are too many bright colors in this room, and there is no uniform tone.
If you like this bright color, you can decorate the space in a small area, which will make the effect more brilliant. ▼
③ Stay away from Taobao-style colors.
One more thing, if you want to make the house look good, try not to use this jumping bright color. You may like it very much this year, but you should get tired of it in a few years.
One more thing, to avoid this Taobao-style color matching, it is easy to appear cheap and can't stand the baptism of time. ▼
▲ Negative case
Suggestion: For ordinary families, if you don't have a good grasp of color matching, it is recommended that the whole house adopt light colors and use emphasized colors on some household items to avoid clutter in the room and highlight key points.
▲ White and warm wood are the main colors, and bright soft decoration brightens the space.
Choose plain colors for furniture and use some small furniture to brighten the space ▼
6. Let's talk about lighting again.
Another factor that directly affects the color tone is the lighting, and the key point is the interference of the color temperature of the lighting on the color tone of the room.
For example, the normal color temperature of the living room is controlled at 4000-5000K (neutral light).
But once the color temperature difference is too large, it will have a destructive impact on the color tone. ▼
7. Hide all the sundries.
The living room you imagined before the renovation may be like this ▼
And daily life is probably like this ▼
The gap is clear at a glance, the ideal is full of beautiful things, but in reality it is full of miscellaneous daily necessities; Imagine antique coffee and flowers, but the table is actually full of paper towels, remote controls and mineral water.
If you want an attractive house, you must have a place to put all these daily necessities.
Just like the following project, this is a photo of the guest restaurant ▼
Simple and refreshing, full of texture. But think about it carefully, why doesn't he have bottles and cans and daily necessities at home?
There is also a photo of this family ▼
The whole wall behind is a custom cabinet! The living room is so beautiful, clean and tidy because he has put away most of the ugly ones.
Don't underestimate this TV cabinet. If guests are coming at home soon, the messy things in the living room and even the toys that children throw everywhere will be hidden in the cupboard for a second.
For another example, what is everyone's bathroom like, right?
My eyes are full of towels and cleaning supplies, but if these are stored in an orderly way, can you do this?
The same is true of cabinets. If the countertops are full and there is no storage space, it is useless to look good again.
Reasonably plan the layout of moving line and storage space, and close the cupboard door, which is refreshing and tidy ▼
The sundries are stored in an orderly way, which can basically achieve a good-looking effect.
8. Reject cheap products
In many home decoration, various decorations will be placed. These cheap decorations are out of tune with the family style, and it is even more ugly to pile them together.
It is these decorations without any sense of workmanship and beauty that are destroying the quality of the room.
Cheap doesn't necessarily mean cheap here. Maybe you bought seemingly cheap wallpaper, decorative paintings, cushions, modular furniture and so on without spending less money. ▼
Look at the picture below, it may cost less and there is not much decoration, but the authentic wooden coffee table brings a bit of country flavor to the whole room. ▼
There are also some cheap "cottage" styles. This is a Nordic style living room designed by a company, but it looks awkward. What is the difference?
Look at the living room of a real Nordic family ▼
What is Nordic style?
Nordic style is bright and cured, focusing on creating a comfortable home environment. The choice of furniture pays more attention to practicality. Furniture is mostly made of natural materials, with simple shape, but exquisite design, exquisite wood polishing and outstanding texture.
The northern Europe in the above picture is a clumsy imitation, very artificial and unnatural, so it is not attractive.
It is impossible for ordinary families to know the details of every style. If you want the room to look good naturally, there are several suggestions for your reference.
① Use natural materials.
Commonly used natural materials are wood, stone, brick, ceramics, cotton and linen, green plants and so on. These authentic materials bring warm details and texture that imitations can't match.
2 decoration has a complex.
There must be unforgettable memories hidden in a house that can last forever. Travel photos, elders' relics, friends' gifts, work achievements ... Home with temperature is decorated with these spaces.
③ Choose designer products.
If you really don't know what suits you, you might as well choose some designer products. Compared with those prefabricated fast-moving products, the works of both masters and niche designers are full of positions and emotions, and daily exposure will also enhance personal aesthetics and the fun of life.
9. If you want to make cabinets, minimalist style is the most attractive.
Now, if you go to the whole house customization market, you will find that many products are powerful and eye-catching, but they look cumbersome on the whole, and too many exposed functions will destroy the overall style.
If you want to look good, you can choose this minimalist style to customize the cabinet, weaken the decoration of the cabinet, and integrate the cabinet with the overall style.
Simple and durable, it will not be out of date for decades.
Cabinets also pay attention to color matching, which we have talked about many times in previous articles. Exquisite collocation is not only eye-catching but also very advanced.
Home is the precipitation of the master's life. In addition to the above decoration skills, we can also integrate our understanding of life and the lifestyle we pursue, so that we can have a place to live and never get tired of seeing it.
