šŗ TV Wall + Kitchen Island = Prep & Storage Heaven š³š
Daqiu's Director, Qiu Tai Rui, shared his secret sauce for small spaces: blend functions like a master chef! By knocking down the original kitchen walls for an open concept, they've not only jazzed up the space with more interaction but also solved the "tiny countertop" dilemma. They conjured up a kitchen island next to the TV wall, perfect for meal prep and dining. It magically extends into a space for appliances and the fridge. Abracadabra! š
And oh, the TV wall! It's got this Swiss cheese vibe with holes and shelves for the man of the house to show off his Lego and figurines collection. Imagine a cloud-like curvy TV wall - it's like having a piece of sky indoors! āļøš
šŖ Entrance Cabinet = Privacy Screen + Sofa Storage šļø
To tackle the "open door, see everything" issue, the designers whipped up a storage cabinet as a chic screen. It's not just any screen; it's merged with a sofa! The back wall is a white, ceiling-high bookcase, and the seat hides big suitcases and camera gear. Director Qiu says merging functions and syncing materials and colors make the space feel like it's had a growth spurt!
Lifted floors? They're like platform shoes for your home, giving the illusion of more space without the claustrophobia. š©š
Behind the sofa, there's this platform doubling as a coffee/side table. It's perfect for teacups and trinkets, and with a mirror design, it's like adding an extra dimension to the room. Who needs a coffee table when you've got magic? āØ
š½ļø Dining Cabinet + Appliance Cabinet = Maximum Space Utilization š š”
Tired of the long march from the dining room to the kitchen? The designers played a game of "disappearing hallway" and placed cabinets for dining essentials and appliances in between. They even added enough outlets for a mini kitchen setup right in the dining area. Voila, storage maximized, space utilized!
The dining cabinet is not just a pretty face; it's a workhorse for dishes, cutlery, and even small appliances like coffee makers and toasters. šā
On the side, they squeezed in an appliance cabinet and a rice cooker nook. Using only about 30 cm of width and 60 cm of depth, they crafted pull-out storage for dry goods and snacks. It's like having a snack genie in your kitchen! š§āāļøšŖ
š Storage Room + Study + Dresser = Everything and the Kitchen Sink šš
The homeowner loves shopping and stocking up, so a walk-in storage room near the entrance was a must. It's easy to drop stuff off when you walk in. Along the outer wall of the storage room, they added shoe, laundry, and drawer cabinets - talk about a storage fiesta! š
Near the living room, an elevated floor outlines an open study. The L-shaped desk works as both an office space and a vanity. The wall has bookshelves and two sliding doors, one of which is a mirror, hiding makeup and skincare products. It's like a clutter-disappearing act!
With kids in the house, all edges are rounded to avoid ouchies. š¤ā”ļøš
And the desk? It's got secret compartments for wires and sockets. Talk about a James Bond-style workspace! šµļøāāļøš¼
So, there you have it! A small space transformed into a 3x storage wonderland with some clever design tricks. It's like a magic show for your home! šš š®
