Second, find a house.
When looking for a house at first, neither of them knew where to start. While searching online for comments and case information of major builders, I asked people around me if they knew reliable real estate or first-hand housing sales information.
I spent a lot of holidays looking at the house, then I rode my bike around and set up several areas or communities to actually feel the future living environment. Because we pay different attention to each other, we are used to listing the top three conditions that we value most, and then screening out the cases we have seen.
My biggest concern is:
1. Ventilation (air should be able to convection)
2. Orientation (the room does not face west, ventilation window does not face north, and the French windows face south or east as far as possible)
3. Safety and convenience (elevator building)
He is most concerned about:
1. The pattern is square (good feng shui, profitable planning)
2. Regional environment (convenient life, good face park)
Step 3 preserve value
As long as you communicate the maximum value first, you will naturally know a lot when you look at the house.
Third, the original pattern/housing conditions.
After searching, I really bought the skeleton of my dream home, the original layout and house conditions:
Number of indoor terraces: about 50 terraces.
Pattern: 3 rooms 1 hall and 2 bathrooms
Age: 2 years/standard room
Favorite style: modern minimalist style, industrial style, Nordic style.
Decoration requirements:
1. public * * * space dynamic planning
2. Circuit socket replacement and dome light configuration
3. The kitchen was enlarged, the line was moved and the island was modified.
4. Bedroom storage space
5. Overall style architecture
Fourth, find a designer.
At first, I read grandma's money-saving bible, and some wanted to find their own working class. But on the one hand, neither of us can supervise the work during the day, on the other hand, we hope to have a designer's major to help us turn our very vague ideas about home into concrete, practical and beautiful spaces.
Because we have well-known friends in related industries, we compared three or four studios/firms with relatively high quality. After the meeting, I found that the tone was just right, and fans liked the collection of special pages at first sight. Finally, it proved that it was right to find them!
After placing the order, the designer was very surprised to give "six" floor plans for us to take back and consider. For those of us whose ideas are limited by the space set by the builders, we are completely enlightened.
The following is the plane configuration that we decided to use later. Comparing with the original pattern diagram above, we can know the difference, which is simply a big break:
It is suggested that when you plan the plane layout, you can actually use colored paper tape in the house to stick out the planned compartments, furniture, system cabinets and so on. On the floor, so that you can know whether it is smooth or not, and you will feel uncomfortable when walking. We did this before fine-tuning the size of the porch walkway and making the kitchen bigger off the island.
5. Before the renovation, the following photos were mostly taken by mobile phones.
When buying a house, it was a standard room (including bathroom, kitchen cabinet, kitchen utensils, three-bedroom compartment, living room tile room wood floor), and the house was in good condition.
However, there are still some inconveniences in actual use (for example, the island countertop in the kitchen is too high, and the exhaust duct above the kitchen cabinet is not covered to half), or the building materials with worrying quality (for example, the wooden floor is discolored and injured) are all solved by the designer with decoration.
There are detailed photos in the "Details Sharing" below.
Six-month stay-photos of real space &; Details sharing The porch is changed to black floor tiles, which not only creates the feeling of the porch falling dust area, but also makes the black tiles less dirty. Here is a clever idea, which can only be used after construction: most of the original six white tiles are still intact after cutting. Just for the design of CCTV wall, it is necessary to cut a few tiles and take underground pipelines. If it is broken, take the complete tiles that Xuan is concerned about to make up. It's not wasted at all ~)
It turns out that the island of the kitchen is too high, blocking the moving line of the kitchen entrance. The decorative cabinet made of wood was removed to make the entrance, which made the narrow entrance more open.
The distribution box is made of wood, and the mirror door is completely blocked. You can also look in the mirror before you go out ~
The system shoe cabinet is located in the linear space from the gate to the left wall of the entrance. In fact, the builder left it very narrow, only about 32 cm can be used. After deducting the door panel and backboard used in general system cabinets, the actual usable depth is only 26.5cm. Girls' shoes of this size can be put down, but boys' shoes can't, so the designer suggested not to use another tube as the backboard. The actual usable depth can be 29cm, which is just suitable for my husband's shoes!
Experience: As a result, we are both using the XD in the boys' shoe cabinet on the right. It is suggested that if the shoe cabinet is too shallow, there is no need to make a backboard, and you can't see the white wall underneath anyway.
The door panel is made of black metallic paint mesh. I heard that only a few system cabinet manufacturers are making this composite material, which is well ventilated, beautiful and the shoes are hazy and beautiful ~
Experience: Super recommended, the shoe cabinet will not stink at all, which is better than the top of the shoe cabinet! In addition, you can gently wipe it with a vacuum cleaner or rag for a while, which is much clearer than the fan blade ventilation design!
The designer skillfully connects the shoe cabinet with the cloakroom+storage room at the back by using the cantilever porch chair with narrow left and wide right. The porch chair is made of solid wood (marble pea wood in Central and South America, with beautiful lines and versatile colors). Buy a whole board and cut it according to the designer's pattern. The remaining scraps are used to make upper laminates, which is not wasted at all!
Experience: It is a great boon for women who are prone to dizziness to go out without squatting and wearing shoes ~ You can also put a pot of 60cm deep dried flowers on the side, which is super beautiful!
There is a socket next to the shelf, which is convenient for placing decorations or essential oil oxygen machines that need to be plugged in.
Experience: the water and oxygen machine are right, and it tastes very comfortable as soon as you enter the door. I like to use cypress essential oil.
The special paint for the back wall of porch chair is a material specially designated for use after seeing other designers' works. This special paint is not cheap, but the texture is super good. The whole wall is like a painting, and the hand-painted lines are fine and delicate!
Use the original side wall and the wardrobe to extrapolate to create a perfect hidden storage room space!
Experience: There are three five-story perforated painted iron plate storage racks in the storage room. Super easy to use, all the sundries are hidden in it. Invisibility is so good ~
The moving line from the entrance to the storage room and workspace is flat. The African zebra wooden desk with solid wood and iron feet is thick and durable, customized to the height of the solid wood manufacturer, which can just be put on the side cabinet of the system and spliced into an L-shaped desk, which is very easy to use.
HOLA bought six collage orifice plates on the wall, which are of good quality, and can paste all kinds of magnets, as well as different accessories such as storage boxes/hooks/shelves to choose from.
Remove the middle island that originally blocked the door and the moving line was too high, and make it glass sliding door+Xinzhong Island to push out the kitchen, blocking the kitchen fumes and keeping a clear sense of space.
Experience: the kitchen entrance and refrigerator are close to the porch, so it is super convenient to put things back after buying food!
The original builder didn't finish the kitchen cabinet, leaving the pipeline of the range hood exposed. Ask the designer to add a deeper kitchen cabinet, fill the space to the ceiling, hide the pipes, and have more storage space.
The newly made island in the system cabinet is very practical, about 90 cm high, as high as the table grab at the back. The small idea is to make a 5 cm high facade on the side and bottom of the artificial stone countertop to prevent food scraps from falling into the gap with glass sliding door.
Experience: It is very convenient for Nakajima to put prepared or cooked dishes, dry large pots and dishes, put small household appliances, tidy up the tableware in the drawer and knead noodles. ...
The back of the TV cabinet is used as the side wall of the dining table, and a hollow space is designed to put knickknacks.
Black rock burning stone+iron frame wooden foot dining table with overall style, Miyazaki dining chair with cat scratching skin, beautiful and clean, but the actual degree of cat scratching skin is limited ...?
On the dining table, exposure meter's eight-lamp chandelier was chosen, which became the highlight of the whole space and added a beautiful sense of irregularity.
Experience: The design of the circular lampshade makes cleaning very simple, and the beautiful chandelier really makes food delicious.
In particular, we should introduce the two holes in the ceiling above the dining table, which are specially designed conical air-conditioning outlets ~ Because the whole public space (except the kitchen) uses the same air-conditioning indoor unit, the tonnage is enough, but these two independent air outlets can make the restaurant cold faster.
We use a flat roof in the whole room (it is too difficult to clean the dust for a long time and it will be allergic). Designers will divide the space at different heights according to the position of beams and columns. The planning of these two air outlets adds a lot of elevation levels and interest.
Experience: the air conditioner is super fast. I don't know if it's Daikin or these two.
In the configuration of the living room, the left TV wall originally built with trademark is reversed, and an independent TV cabinet is pulled out in the central position, which cleverly separates the living room from the dining room, keeping the openness of the space and leaving some privacy for the sofa area for relaxation.
The wooden TV cabinet is designed with solid left and empty right, so that the sofa area can pay attention to the movement of the porch, and the total height below the height creates a transparent public space.
Experience: The top of the TV cabinet is the cat's favorite, and the height of the left and right sounds makes the vertical parallel control very embarrassing! It's very convenient to put power amplifier, switch, MOD, Wifi machine and other electrical appliances below ~
The only drawback: the TV window reflects light during the day, but this space configuration was originally thought of. Considering that I am often away from home during the day, the curtains can be solved, and I feel that the impact is not great.
Vertical system bookcase: I have discussed it with designers many times, because we attach great importance to bookcases and want irregular feeling, some glass doors prevent dust, drawers have door pieces, we want to use system bookcases to save budget and adjust them, and the door pieces should match the wooden color of sofas ... just a nagging owner, but we are very satisfied with the results and have everything we want.
Experience: the furnishings and books are beautiful! The only drawback is that for the sake of beauty, the drawer has no handle. It's really expensive to use the newly developed clapping buffer slide rail in Lake X, which Kaka actually used ... It is recommended to use the ordinary buffer slide rail, and the door piece is excavated to hide the handle.
The wall on the left side of the bookcase is painted with imitation water mold, which changes the three-dimensional aesthetic feeling between sunlight and night lighting.
The balcony threshold is made high because of waterproof factors, and it is easy to trip. The designer skillfully planned the sofa and the steps to overcome it. Wood structure+island wood floor creates a tortuous moving line, which makes public space more active. On the left is the entrance and exit of the main balcony. Slippers can be placed in the bottom slot, and a socket is added for the sofa. A deeper groove with socket is planned on the right, which is the home of the sweeping robot ~
The couch on the right is about 150cm deep, which can be used to make a bed, put a small coffee table for making tea, and also be used as a children's play area. Recently, I put a lazy bone, sunshine and a book in the bookcase next to me, which is my initial intention!
The blue-gray sofa is matched with the blue snake-shaped curtains at the back, which makes the whole space saturated with rich colors. The sofa is made of cat scratch skin and super wear-resistant linen. L-shaped adults love to lie down, children love to crawl, cats love to lie down, and people and cats are happy ~ Although the curtains at the back come from different manufacturers, the colors are almost the same, and the manufacturers are very careful in construction and ironing!
Experience: it turns out that wear-resistant linen is still not resistant to cat claws ... nail clippers are really difficult to cut. ...
The master bedroom uses a simple linear system cabinet wardrobe, which is connected to the dresser near the bathroom door. You can blow-dry your hair immediately after taking a shower. Hide the dressing cabinet in the mirror and put skin care products/perfume, which is very practical ~
The cosmetic desk/book top made by the system cabinet has a cover-lifting slot with a hidden plug. After actual use, it is found that the oversized plug, large transformer and USB cable hole on the side are not suitable (as shown above). Now it's best to lift the cover normally ... it's better to recommend a simple outlet hole, or the trunking should not be too narrow and deep.
The curtains in the three bedrooms are all dimmable roller blinds, and three different colors (coffee, iron ash and beige) are selected to distinguish the bedroom styles. The shading effect is good, the use is simple, and the most important thing is to clean it well to avoid the allergic problems that may be caused by the curtain.
Both the master bedroom and the second bedroom are equipped with entrance light switch and bedside lamp switch, so you can turn off the lights at the bedside without getting up before going to bed. The bedside wall lamp is cute, cheap and practical!
The wooden floor was replaced by PERGO wear-resistant wooden floor series, and the store showed that the sealing connection effect was excellent, and the sample was scraped directly with iron wire. Sen series is relatively large and beautifully paved. We use a versatile "urban oak" color, which goes well with white walls or British blue walls.
Experience: it walks like real wood, and there are no obvious scratches, water marks and discoloration at present ~
We are very satisfied with our new home, and we really appreciate everyone who has taken the trouble to help us realize our wishes!
