It turned out that after the young couple bought a house, both parents were urging the problem of "making people" intentionally or unintentionally.
Although the young couple have this plan, they have raised a cat and rented a house to live together since they fell in love. Now both parents want them to send cats. The reason is still the same:
"The room is small."
"Cats are unsanitary, so don't keep them if you are pregnant."
"What should I do if I have children in the future? Children have weak resistance. "
I even plan to come to Shanghai to deal with cats myself.
The couple didn't want to give up cats, so they went to Xiao Xuan and wanted Xiao Xuan to recommend some products suitable for cats. They are going to give cats a small place on the balcony to grow up with their children.
In fact, this problem is very common. Most young people also bought their first house after struggle, and have reached the stage of having children. In the stressful life before, this group of young people probably raised a "hairy child" to relieve stress. When they moved into a new home, they also hoped that their pets would have a home. Therefore, the problem of the venue needed by "biological children" and "hairy children" has become a difficult problem. In big cities, housing prices are high, living space is limited, and it is inevitable that children with weak resistance will get along with cats; Because of their ignorance of pets, many elders often ask young couples to "dispose" their pets out of love for their peers.
The history of keeping pets in China is not long. Many people don't understand their habits and are too busy to care. Keeping pets in a small room will lead to the extreme personality of pets, which will lead to depression, mania and even attack people.
Today, we specially selected a successful old house renovation project "Cats and Children" as a sample to share with you how a small space can meet the above needs through home design.
▲ The couple's cat in this case.
Basic introduction of apartment type
The owner of this family is a young couple who are going to have children. Bought a small two-bedroom apartment downtown. I'm going to keep a master bedroom and then transform the second bedroom into a children's room. There is a puppet cat. Although the puppet cat is docile, it has a strong sense of territory, does not like sports, and likes dull activities. Therefore, it needs a lot of space and area. It's easy to drive him crazy just by being locked on the balcony. They don't cook much at home, and even if they cook at home, most of them are western food, so they prefer the open kitchen. This is very important.
The original structure of the house is as follows:
1. The space division of the original apartment is too tight and too fine, which makes the whole apartment lack a sense of transparency and the room feels too small, which also affects the overall lighting and ventilation.
2. The original bathroom door is facing the second bedroom door. If the second bedroom is regarded as a children's room, the smell of the bathroom will easily affect the growth of children.
3. The owner prefers the open kitchen and only needs one bathroom.
Therefore, in the transformation of ideas, as long as a little summary, you can solve two problems:
Leave a space (living space) for future children.
Leave a space for children's activities (public space transformation)
The convenient physical separation between living space and public space can perfectly solve the problem that the baby is weak at birth and is not suitable for petting pets.
This is the final transformation plan.
Transform a magician
Through this scheme, we have carried out the following transformation:
1. The entrance door moved forward, increasing the hall space (public space increased, children space increased).
2. Open the original kitchen partition wall, increase home space and change the old look of cramped home space (improve public space and increase children's space)
3. Because the original bathroom door is opposite to the second bedroom door, the designer transformed the original second bedroom into a living space with the function of western kitchen, and switched the position of the original second bedroom and the original living room into the future children's room. (The living space is improved, and the space for loving children is increased)
4. The whole partition wall of the restaurant is opened to make a western-style island platform. (The public space has improved, and the space for hairy children has increased.)
5. Change the position of the entrance of the master bedroom to make way for the entrance area of the children's room. The wall of the master bedroom moves outward, leaving the position of the dresser and increasing the space of the master bedroom. Master bedroom with two doors, large space. (the living space is improved, and the space for parents is increased), which solves the space for parents and children.
Holistic thinking
Give your children space (master bedroom &; Children's room)
Because the second bedroom is facing the toilet, the "feng shui" is not very good, so the kitchen and the second bedroom have been adjusted in the planning. Because the kitchen is much smaller than the second bedroom, the dining room has been made into an open western-style island platform, so the wall has been changed.
In this way, you will have a square second bedroom with good lighting and large bay windows. In the later period, as long as you move your home, you can create various styles.
After this transformation, the original "corridor space" has also been used efficiently, and the balcony of the master bedroom has been closed and has become a part of the master bedroom. At the same time, it also solves the problem that the original apartment space is divided too tightly and too finely, which makes the whole apartment lack of transparency and the room feels too small, which also affects the overall lighting and ventilation.
control point
Reference point 1:
Isn't it a children's room for children? Why should the master bedroom consider its own children?
Because newborn children need someone to look after them at night, they can't sleep in separate rooms, and they need to live with their parents for a period of time, so in the decoration of the master bedroom, we should consider how to put the baby's crib at that time (because children are too weak, it is easy to crush the baby in adults' sleep, and it has been said three times here that babies can't sleep with adults, can't sleep with adults, and can't sleep with adults).
It is generally recommended to worship at the side near the window. Because sunbathing for newborns helps to absorb calcium and reduce jaundice, they can't sunbathe directly outdoors. When the sun is oblique, it is best to open the window to let the baby bask in the sun, so it is best to reserve some space near the window. Therefore, in the transformation of the master bedroom, a space was reserved for placing the crib at that time near the balcony floor-to-ceiling window.
The position of the arrow on the picture is reserved for the place where the cradle for newborns will be placed. The balcony in this place is a closed balcony, which not only has enough space, but also has a certain depth. It won't be too long to bask in the sun every day, and you don't have to worry about your child getting sunburned.
However, because there are no children yet, it has been temporarily built as a leisure space. When the young couple are free, they can chat by candlelight at night to increase their interest. The master bedroom balcony is closed, which adds a lot of space. In addition, it is originally north-south, and the house has good lighting. With cool colors, the space is very textured.
Reference point 2:
The children have not been seen yet. How to install the children's room is the most practical?
In fact, in a family, the most frequent decoration is the "children's room", especially when the children are relatively young (even gone), the design requirements are the highest. Usually children have to complete the changes of "infants-children-students" and even adults in this room. The growth process changes in three to five years, and the needs of each period are different, which needs to be changed in time.
For example, today's children have not yet been born, and when ta 0-2 years old, almost all of them slept in their parents' master bedroom. At that time, the role of children's room was largely a play space, or a temporary residence for grandparents to take care of newborns. However, there are no temporary vacancies at present, so furniture is easy to move, light and can be used by adults.
The tatami in the picture, when the time comes, children can practice crawling on it, and the height from the ground is not high, so it is not easy to have problems; Elders can sleep on it.
The most important thing is that these are easy to disassemble. When the children grow up, update the soft clothes in the room in time, and the room is another scene.
Children's space (living room &; Configuration)
Having said that, biological children need living space, so let's talk about Mao's territory.
It can be found that the range of activities of cats has increased by nearly 2 times!
Reference point 3: the living room is simple, the vision is enlarged, the activity space is also expanded, and the dead angle is reduced.
Although puppet cats don't like jumping up and down, after all, as cats, they inevitably like to patrol at home, especially jumping around in places such as TV sets. Therefore, the owner chose the "minimalist" style when decorating. I didn't make a TV wall or a TV cabinet, but I made an embedded one directly, so I don't have to worry about the cat climbing on the TV. Minimalist style also corresponds to fewer homes and fewer dead ends. If there is less home, there will naturally be more free space. Moreover, it is easy to understand that there are few sanitary corners and it is convenient to clean!
Reference point 4: If you choose to land at home, try not to choose the lower floor. ?
Don't scream for nothing, hairy boy! Especially some long-haired cats are simply hairless monsters who can walk. If there are many sanitary corners, especially under low cabinets like quadrangles, it is simply a paradise for hairy children. Cat hair is easy to breed bacteria and needs to be cleaned in time, which is not good for pregnant women and future children. Therefore, when choosing a home, you can learn from this owner to prevent the possibility of taking advantage of the loopholes! Either choose to land or choose to be high from the ground for easy migration.
▲ For example, a chair that is high from the ground and easy to move and vacuum;
An airtight sofa and a hard marble table; And the basement.
At the same time, hairy children like to sleep in soft places. Many families don't put carpets because they find it difficult to clean, so hairy children like to go to the sofa! So if you put on a furry carpet, you can put an end to this problem.
Finally, I will show you the sports space of hairy children!
Does this perfectly solve the territorial problem of biological children and hairy children? Of course, don't forget to prepare a high-value cat scratch board for the cat at last, so that it won't scratch the house everywhere!
Small selection review
The reason for choosing this family as a case is that the problem of "having a biological child or a long-haired child" is perfectly solved through the decoration design.
But keeping a cat is really easy to lose hair! Even if there is a vacuum cleaner, it is impossible to suck behind the cat every day (although cats lose their hair seasonally, they lose it all year round, just by a little), so if you want to recommend a product that can improve the life of the shovel officer at 1000 yuan, of course you can only sweep the floor.
Floor plan, the cat can enter the low space, it can enter!
