What is the most beautiful Chinese decoration you have ever seen?

Many people think that Chinese style is too expensive and boring to live in. But in Living Well, we also see many young roommates refuting this stereotype with their family strength. Perhaps you can also consider the eclectic "new Chinese style" in the inheritance of traditional culture to make it more suitable for the needs of modern people's lives.

I want to recommend a homeowner who lives well here. She and her husband are both lovers of traditional culture and professional architects. After graduation, they bought a small house with a yard in the old residential area of Nanjing and built a quiet garden in the street together. Rockery, flower pond, tea shed and bamboo forest are all available.

In addition to the desirable courtyard, the space planning of their home is also very careful. Mini-study, single corridor, raised tatami on the ground ... They make maximum use of the original small house area, and can't see that the use area of the house itself is only 58 m 2!

family planning

▲ Plan before renovation: The house is located on the first floor, and the apartment type is the pattern of the husband's house in the last century. There is no decent living room, but there are three bedrooms, two in the south and one facing north. In addition to a yard, there is an outdoor utility room that looks like a yard.

▲ floor plan after transformation: the master bedroom facing south is changed into living room, and two bedrooms, dining room and kitchen and bathroom are divided into inner rooms. The original master bedroom wardrobe was transformed into a study. The open space in the side yard, originally used for stacking sundries, was transformed into a tea shed for friends' gathering.

living room

▲ The octagonal gate is not only the most important scene at home, but also the boundary between public and private, inner room and outer room. Behind the octagonal door is a more private bedroom and kitchen and bathroom. The upper two corners of the octagonal door are picked out with three layers of bricks and then plastered with cement to form an inclined plane. Of course, it can also be wrapped with gypsum board with joinery board cover, and the lower two corners must be built with bricks to avoid stepping on the air. In addition, the bottom surface and inclined surface of the lower part should be coated with oily paint to facilitate daily wiping. Other parts can be painted with ordinary latex paint.

▲ Living room storage display cabinet The double-sided wall of the living room originally has a pilaster protruding, so simply use gypsum board to wrap a narrow display cabinet along the thickness of the pilaster, with the middle hollow, and the windows of the double-sided wall face the bamboo in the side yard.

▲ The big green pillow is our favorite, and it was carried back from Thailand with big wood ... Every door and window in the house has a foldable safety net, and the folding ratio can reach 1 1: 1, which is the thinnest thickness on the market at present. In this way, people can open it when they are at home, and the anti-theft net is put aside and covered with curtains, which does not affect the line of sight.

▲ The living room is the center of the whole house. The south is connected with the yard, and the north is connected with the inner room. The small door originally connected to the yard has been replaced by four pieces of high-rise glass, which can be opened singly or fully.

bedroom

▲ The window view of the master bedroom is facing the wintersweet in the yard. Shade in summer and smell incense in winter. The cantilever table in front of the master bedroom window is 3.3m long, fixed on the wall with wooden squares, and the large table board is prevented from deformation by a row of thick drawers. The material is New Zealand pine finger joint board with a white lifting table leg supported in the middle.

▲ The double office area in front of the master bedroom window is basically occupied by me alone. ...

restaurant

▲ Because the kitchen space is not enough, the restaurant also undertakes the storage of some kitchen supplies. This is a newly added partition, and the current shelf system is like this. The Gate of Cross Light Full of Ritual Sense-Pay tribute to the architect Balagan! Between the kitchen and the dining room, behind the door are two big cabinets, which are also used as sideboards to store electrical appliances and food. Huge capacity. Thank you for saving my mini kitchen.

study

▲ Mini study that only allows one person to sit down-use the concave space of the original locker in the living room to face the window view of the side yard. 1.8m* 1.5m*2.4m has its own power to make people steady. I feel that my body is wrapped in a small space and I feel very safe. The bamboo shadow outside the window is dancing, and a small lamp is lit, which is the most suitable place to live. The desk and bookcase can be separated, the solid wood desktop board can be attached to the bookshelf, and the desktop can be removed.

▲ Our secret bookshelf contains treasures that we travel from one place to another.

kitchen

▲ The kitchen at home is very small, only 4 square meters ... So the side walls, ceilings, floors and even household appliances all choose abstract white, which greatly expands the visual sense of the space. The cabinet is pure white paint of Ourui Yubang, and the light in the north is not enough. Paint panels make the kitchen look bright by reflection. With the lampblack, the rag will light up as soon as it is wiped.

lavatory

▲ Because it is small, it is white. There is only one bathroom with more than 2 square meters, and the layout is too headache. Finally, discuss and decide with the site construction manager. In the shower area, the usual height difference is cancelled, and the smooth drainage can be ensured through the slope. Heating doubles as an electric towel rack.

The second lie

▲ The second bedroom is very small, all made of tatami, and its storage capacity is invincible.

▲ The angle of the second bedroom can see the living room and yard through the octagonal door.

corridor

▲ Connect the halls everywhere. After the octagonal door, from the dining room to the living room, the solid wood ceiling opposite the door was deliberately lowered, in contrast to the living room. From the living room facing the sun to the deep hall, the kitchen, bathroom and the remaining two bedrooms were lit in turn.

▲ When I came out of the bathroom at the right angle, I expected what I would see after going to the bathroom every day ... A gourd hung in the close shot, and a distribution box was hidden behind Mr. Chen Qikuan's painting on the wall of Yuan Jing restaurant.

▲ The octagonal door is the dividing line between the living room and the inner room. Walking through the octagonal gate is like going to another garden.

courtyard

▲ Gardening is to build your own life and run your own world. Ceiling fish tank pomegranate tree, Mr. Liu and fat girl.

▲ Front yard: Rock-piled viewing and flower viewing Lagerstroemia indica, Chimonanthus praecox, cherry blossoms and rockery are all left by the previous owners, and the flowering period can be connected in series in spring, summer, autumn and winter. A circle of bamboo was tied in the fence to form a 2-meter-high bamboo wall, which blocked the line of sight.

▲ There is a Zhang Qing brick table in front of the folding door of the yard, which is the place to dry clothes every day. Tables are made for sitting high, and families can sit around and chat. No balcony? This is our open balcony.

▲ The path leading to the side yard. It's deep enough here, just like another world in the forest.

▲ The hanging hemp rope separates the tea shed from the natural space, and the linen curtain on the ceiling forms a gentle package of the space, which forms a wave of twists and turns according to the direction of the steel structure, blocking the interlayer insulation layer of the blue flower. An old elm table with a length of 2.4 meters occupies the center of the tea shed.

Finally, summarize the key points of creating fashionable and fresh Chinese decoration:

1./ Say goodbye to heaviness with light wood color: The first step to a new Chinese style without dullness is to replace those mahogany furniture and floors with light wood color. Ash wood is a good choice, which is very effective in brightening the whole space.

2./ Grille doors and partitions: Grille is a very classic Chinese element, which can be used as a boundary between the porch and the balcony to separate the space without blocking the light and air circulation; It can also be used as a sliding door, and the grille with vertical stripes will have more traditional Chinese charm.

3./ Chinese garden framing skills: If you want to play the new Chinese style well, you really need to learn more from Chinese gardens. The framing technique is very suitable for home decoration. Octagonal doors and plum blossom windows should be a wonderful experience.

4./ Bamboo Curtain: Lack of lighting is also one of the reasons why many China families look heavy in decoration. Bamboo and grass curtains are most suitable for balcony and living room because of their light transmission characteristics. More rattan elements can also make the space look lighter and have a flowing "air sense"

5./ unconventional decoration: it is really difficult to create a sense of beauty at home with a large landscape. Fortunately, there are many novel and interesting original calligraphy and painting. One of the skills of decorative painting collocation is to choose a thin border and leave more white space. Some hand-made teapots and pots are also suitable for decoration.
