At first, my idea was to spread the whole living room into tatami to ensure that there was no gap in the room. However, I didn't think about the tall lover for the little one. For him, in order not to lose the height of the room, I don't even want to be a ceiling. The leading principle of our renovation this time is to meet everyone's needs as much as possible. As long as he can mention it, I will try my best to be satisfied! The first plan was quickly rejected.
Then we have to face such a height difference and the existence of indoor stairs. What should we do?
My wife hopes that there is no barrier between the guest restaurant and the restaurant, and there should be a sense of overall transparency, so there should be no handrails for rest and stairs, which is contrary to the general decoration principle. How to solve the security problem? Without the compulsory guardrail blocked by this road, we thought of using bright colors and soft materials to place a row of soft-packed stools at the breakpoint, which can not only store things, but also serve as a barrier to prevent children from bumping. However, at the stairs, there is a problem. The security risks here are too obvious. There is a big gap from one side of the restaurant to the second step, which is easy to slip. I asked a question and wanted to find a solution. The picture below is me.
Irregular stairs
This plan was rejected by our responsible professional designers. We spread the floor all over the room, and there is not even a stone here, let alone the construction difficulty. The scheme itself has security risks, and it is easy to sprain your ankle if you are not careful. I came back to show my wife many times. We used props that can be used at home, and even took out the children's Lego to make a similar look. He refused to accept it from the beginning.
It took a long time in the process, so we evaded the question for the time being. Because we can't discuss it well, we simply put it down first. In the meantime, I also thought of other ways, but I didn't say anything. Later, I found one, so I started to mention this topic again. Since not using handrails and irregular shapes have potential safety hazards, we should not argue about any way. Is there a third solution? The key point of the two schemes lies in the second step, so we will find a way to solve this. For example, as shown in the figure below, it would be better if a creative and sculptural stair starting column can be placed here, which also solves the demand of stair induction light belt. My wife also agreed.
I thought the dust finally settled, and one day another audio equipment vendor came to help me see how the website was laid out. His first reaction was, how can there be no guardrail here? There are so many children and two boys at home, but they can't take the usual road. Without the guardrail, they will definitely jump down and turn over. He said that as a reliable designer, we must emphasize this point and give reasonable suggestions. Alas, the old mother's heart has been mentioned again. Besides,
This is the same as my wife's design. At first, I wanted to put the finished sofa here. He further used the existing gap to customize a stable and space-saving sofa. But it was rejected because the scheme of switching the position of projector and curtain is not very reliable. The first is the positioning of the living room. Is it appropriate for guests to sit here? Not to mention guarding the bathroom next to the stairs, only two or three people can do it. Then others sat in the dining room and really became a row in the cinema. But it is inconvenient to communicate with guests. In addition, whether the restaurant is the core area of family activities, if only eating, this time is relatively short. The living room is the living room and the dining room is the dining room. This layout and function will be clearer, so this plan will be terminated again.
Then the projector and curtain settings are restored to their original positions, but the problems of partition and safety guardrail mentioned from this are put on the agenda again. Do you still want that sofa? It's really embarrassing to guard the stairs and bathroom right under the curtains. So, is there no other way?
My wife has been thinking hard for a long time. I suggest making a steel column every 30 cm for children to drill through, which also has a protective effect. At the same time, there will be no sense of space barrier, and the line of sight is transparent. It can also be used as props for children to play with. When Bao Xiao was young, he could also directly use pillars to increase the enclosure. Don't worry about the lack of space behind the table!
Then we went to Taobao to search, and there really is such a thing. What we seem to imagine is already in use, so people, it's the same! Ha ha laugh
During the whole renovation process, I feel that our designers will suffer some internal injuries, because both husband and wife have their own ideas and want to participate in the design of the house, and put forward several wonderful designs that the designers feel unreasonable. Finally, he was speechless and said, you arrange it, I'll be in charge of the construction! Alas, I really didn't mean to deny the designer's profession, mainly because our daily life is too regular. It is rare that we can arrange our own space according to our own wishes, and it is rare that we have big ideas. Be sure to cherish!
Decoration is not only a result, but also a process full of challenges and fun!
