It is said that "professional people do professional things", so how to design and decorate a house should be left to good designers, decoration companies and foremen to consider. We need to start from ourselves and consider what you want your home to be like. What are the requirements for it? What function do you want to achieve? Do you have any special hobbies?
In a word, you must concretize your every need, consider it thoroughly, and communicate all the needs with the designer, so that the designer can design a home that is most similar to your imagination, even far beyond your expectation.
Through the following list of questions, I hope to help novice owners understand their own decoration needs, communicate with designers clearly and in detail, and install an ideal house. I have marked the key parts in black! Be sure to write it down in a notebook. .
Master plan-your family style?
1. Which country's culture and lifestyle do you yearn for?
2. What is the dressing style on weekdays? Do you have a favorite brand of clothes?
3. Do you want the style of the family to be unified as a whole, or do you want to distinguish according to the spatial paragraphs, each with its own characteristics?
4. Are there any special spatial elements or materials? For example, do you really want a blackboard wall
5. Refer to TV programs, online pictures, magazines, model rooms and Aifuwo renderings. Do you have any favorite space pictures?
It is the first step of interior design to know your favorite space style and further decide the details such as materials and construction methods. Make good use of the internet, find out your favorite renderings and real-life maps, and you can accurately present your favorite spatial features. It is suggested to find more different cases, so as to cross the outline and make a more specific style trend.
But don't point to the photo and say "exactly the same". After all, living habits and spatial patterns are different, so you may not be able to live in other people's homes.
Some special life function needs of your family.
1. Do you have any religious beliefs?
2. Do you have a pet?
3. Are there any taboos in decoration?
4. According to the usage habits, where do you want to put your home phone and computer?
5. Do you have any special collections to show/collect?
Start planning home functions from living habits, and tailor the space that suits you best! In addition to the basic problems mentioned above, you can also start sorting out a storage list, clearly calculate the items you need to store, as well as the items you add regularly, and even record your living habits.
For example, I am not used to using the dining table. My family eats in the living room, and the first thing to do when I go home is to wash my hands. Such living habits are provided to designers as a reference for life function planning.
You want to control the overall situation, think about this first!
1. Is there anything unsatisfactory about the current housing structure?
2. How old is this house? Are there any problems such as wall cancer and water leakage?
3. Are there any changes in family members in the foreseeable future?
4. How long has it been since the last renovation? Do you have any plans to change rooms in the future?
5. Do you use old furniture?
6. Does the air-conditioning equipment at home need to be updated?
7. Do you want the decorations in your home to be in place at one time or gradually added later?
8. What are your regrets about the decoration and design of the previous house?
Cough, cough, knock on the blackboard. That's the point.
Housing condition is an important condition for determining basic projects. For houses over 5 years old, it is suggested to check the details such as wiring, water leakage, etc. during decoration. For super-old houses over 15, it is necessary to comprehensively evaluate the necessity of replacement from the aspects of structural safety, water tower equipment, bathroom equipment, etc., grasp the possible changes in the future, evaluate the degree of decoration, and handle the decoration budget.
Think about public space!
After roughly defining the decoration needs, we need to think about the functions of each space ~ what is public space? Simply put, it is a place that family members and outsiders may use, including porch, living room, dining room, kitchen, study and so on. Think about their uses and functions one by one, and describe the blueprint of their future homes in more detail.
What do you think of the porch?
1. Is there room for an outer porch outside the door?
2. Would you mind omitting the porch space and opening the door to see the whole living room?
3. Do you usually take off your shoes indoors or outdoors? Do you need to change the indoor shoes?
4. Do you consider setting chairs or handrails with shoes?
5. Do you need storage space for rain gear, briefcase, coat, keys and other items besides the shoe cabinet?
6. How many pairs of shoes do you need to store? How many guests will there be at home at most?
The entrance is actually a space that really needs to be "complete". As the contact between home and the outside world, every family member will use this space at least twice a day, so there are many details of storage and function here. For families with frequent visitors, entering the door is the first impression of welcoming guests. With exact functional requirements, it is easier to give consideration to aesthetics and practicality when planning ~
The living room is the protagonist.
1. Is the main function of family members to relax or receive guests?
2. Should it be combined with the restaurant, kitchen, study and bar?
3. Do you need to install a home theater, stereo and XBOX? How to store the surrounding items?
4. Is there anything special to put? Such as sports equipment, piano
5. How much exhibition space do you need? Still have other storage habits?
Traditionally, the living room represents a group concept. As a group communication center, what is the focus of communication has become the most important issue. Once the focus was on TV, and the whole family watched news broadcasts and TV dramas around TV. There are more forms of entertainment now. Does TV need to be emphasized? It is worthy of serious consideration according to the needs of use ~
The role of the restaurant cannot be fooled!
1. How many members are there in this family? Do you have the habit of eating at the table?
2. When you get together with friends, do you use the space in the restaurant?
3. Do you want to combine it with the study, bar and kitchen?
4. Is there any electrical equipment that can be used when eating? Such as TV, induction cooker.
5. In which space are the facilities related to tea generally planned? Do you often go to restaurants to get water?
6. Do you have the habit of storing snacks? Do you have any collectibles such as cups, plates and wine? Do you need sideboards and wine cabinets?
Today, restaurants and takeout are very convenient and rely on TV and online media. In addition, many families will have overtime, business trips and daily entertainment. The frequency of eating at the table alone may be getting lower and lower. Therefore, modern people's dining room functions are often connected with the living room for open planning, or combined with study and other work blocks to improve space utilization efficiency.
The world of food
1. How often do you cook? Is it cooked every day, used occasionally or rarely?
2. Who usually cooks at home? Is the common cooking method hot-fried or boiled? Is Sichuan cuisine still light?
3. What are the types of kitchen appliances at present? Will large electrical appliances be added?
4. Are there any small household appliances that are not often used? Such as: soymilk machine, flour mill, juicer.
5. Is the pattern of hope open or closed?
6. Do you want the kitchen utensils to be straight, L-shaped, U-shaped or Nakajima kitchen?
With the dazzling array of restaurants and snacks on the street, coupled with the busy life rhythm of modern people working overtime from nine to five, the demand for kitchens tends to be polarized. Most people who like to cook at home also like to bake or learn to cook at home, while those who are not good at cooking may only need an induction cooker to finish a meal.
Therefore, it has always been a kitchen space for storage and functional planning, which needs more detailed consideration in function.
The study is more than just a place to read.
1. Is it just for storing books, or is it used every day? Do you need to work here?
2. Is the pattern of hope open or closed?
3. Who are the main users? Which family members can use it?
4. What kinds of books are there? Do books need to be classified? What are the books now? Do you have the habit of buying books regularly?
5. Are the building blocks for home computers planned here together?
6. What is the habit of reading? Are you lazy to read or take notes carefully?
SOHO people need a fully functional office, and families who love reading want their home to be a library. Parents want to give their children a quiet reading space. The different needs indicate that the study is an "unnecessary mobile space", the planning often changes due to the different habits of members, and the functions inside are not fixed. If there is no space to open a separate study, it is good to use it flexibly in other spaces ~
Hanging clothes and drinking tea on the balcony is also good.
The outdoor space planning at home focuses on the use function, giving priority to how to use it, such as hanging clothes, raising flowers, storing things, parking, etc. , and then design the corresponding facilities, such as plugs, awnings, clothes drying poles, storage cabinets, faucets, sinks, etc.
Thinking about personal space!
Private space simply means that you don't want guests to go in, but you usually want your own quiet space, such as a shy bedroom and bathroom. The planning of bedroom space, including clothes storage and bathroom, from the functional configuration of couples sharing the same room to the special planning of old people's room and children's room, in addition to the current living needs, the bedroom also needs to consider possible changes in the future (such as planning to have a baby) to meet the long-term use needs of the whole family.

7. Is there anything personal that needs to be displayed or stored?
Bedroom planning takes the quality of rest as the primary consideration, and there is a saying of "bright hall and dark room" in Feng Shui. Scientifically, light plays an important role in human biological clock, which indirectly affects the quality and health of sleep. Therefore, bedroom lighting is the key point that can not be ignored before changing clothes and other leisure functions.

Other items that need to be stored in the cloakroom, such as suitcases, ironing boards, quilts and other large items, should also be listed in advance.
If the cloakroom needs more display, you can also refer to some foreign renderings and real-life maps to move the cloakroom to public space for planning.
Although it looks a lot, I haven't tidied it up thoroughly enough. Welcome everyone to help me add.
