š¾ Welcome to My Modern Cat Paradise: Living here, I am the king, with my royal feline companions. The design revolves around me, with a cat house and game room seamlessly integrated into the decor. No more, no less!
Beginnings of a Feline Fantasy: I've got three purrfect furballs, and in our old rental, they lacked their own space. Now, with my own place, I scouted designers specializing in cat-friendly homes. Most designers proposed cat-centric designs, but Designer He from Xia Mu Po suggested focusing on human comfort first, with cat amenities blending into the home's design - like shelves doubling as cat perches. Even if my feline friends weren't around, these features wouldn't feel out of place.
Designer He's approach resonated with me, emphasizing the importance of a home that's comfy for humans while still catering to my cats' needs.
My Dream Home Wishlist:
Raised floors in the master bedroom for lounging versatility.
Ample storage throughout.
Playful space for three cats.
An open kitchen island and dining area.
Bright and warm interior with white tones.
Custom Changes and Renovation:Ā The original layout was redesigned, including bathroom modifications to accommodate a refrigerator and an island dining area. The main bathroom was relocated near the window for better ventilation. To maintain natural light flow, the dressing room near the living area was equipped with glass partitions, creating a light corridor from the living room to the dressing room and master bedroom.
Post-Renovation Reveal:
Kitchen:Ā Fully functional with a cooking area, light snack island, and prep counter with deep and shallow drawers for organized storage.
Dressing Room:Ā Bright and airy, thanks to the glass partitions.
Cat House:Ā Centerpiece of the home, designed as a transparent display cabinet, visible from dining and living areas, and even the dressing room.
Storage:Ā Thoughtfully designed with varying drawer depths and a large closet for all cat-related items.
Ceiling Design:Ā Elegant curved ceilings mask the presence of beams, adding grace to the interior.
Lighting:Ā Delicate choices like transparent bubble lamps in the dining area and playful acorn lights in the master bedroom to match my collection of cute dolls.
Final Thoughts: A year and a half in, I'm over the moon with my decision to go all-in on storage. Initially, it pushed me over budget, but considering long-term convenience and aesthetic harmony, it was a wise investment. I'm grateful for not cutting corners, as it saved me from cluttering my stylish space with mismatched storage units later on. This house is a perfect blend of feline-friendly features and sophisticated human design. š”š¼š±
