I believe many people have heard this sentence when decorating. Just don’t move the walls of your home if they can. Even if they are non-load-bearing walls, wanton demolition will leave safety hazards. But in fact, the decoration itself is to optimize the structure of the apartment and improve the quality of living. If there is a better transformation plan, why must we give it up?

For example, in the case below, the original household structure itself is very good and can also meet basic living needs. However, when the entrance door is turned in another direction, not only the sense of space is immediately doubled, but the living lines are also much more reasonable. You really don’t know how ingenious it is until you compare it.

Floor structure diagram

This case is an old house located in Changsha with an area of ​​137 square meters. The original house type is a very conventional three-bedroom layout, and the living room area is large. Although overall there are some spatial structure problems, since each space is relatively neat, it can still meet the living needs even without structural modifications. Of course, judging from the plans provided by the homeowners, this is indeed the case.

Proposals provided by the homeowner

Judging from the floor plan in the picture above, I believe many people are familiar with it. It can be said to be very classic. Decoration company plan. There is almost no secondary structural design as a whole, and the layout is completely based on stacking furniture.

As for this kind of layout, although there is no problem in daily living, it sacrifices the space advantage that this type of apartment should have. For example, when the living room is very large, the existence of the dining table immediately loses the original space advantage. Another example is the layout of the master bedroom, which does not fully utilize the space.

Floor plan

In order to fully unleash the advantages of this unit type, the following changes were made to the final optimized plan

1. Change the direction of the entrance door to extend the complete entrance area while optimizing the movement line.

2. The door opening of the master bedroom is adjusted to the left side of the sofa wall, so that the internal area can be fully utilized and a dressing room can be extended.

3. The door opening of the second bedroom is changed to next to the dining room to keep the space tidy.

Entry door renovation

After obtaining the consent of the property and neighbors, and the wall In the case of a non-load-bearing wall, the entrance door is rotated 90 degrees and repositioned to face the living room.

Porch

Due to the large area of ​​the living room, after the entrance door was re-adjusted, a set of hollow partition cabinets were designed on the opposite side , and paved the floor with separate floor tiles. In this way, a complete entrance area is extended, and secondly, it is visually separated and continuous. At the same time, it also indirectly optimizes the circulation and creates a sense of detour.

The partition cabinet and shoe-changing stool are all suspended, which not only minimizes the heaviness of the cabinet, but also facilitates cleaning by the sweeping robot.

Shoe cabinet storage and display, all internal partitions are movable, which not only allows the cabinet area to be fully utilized, but also can be used later. In your life, you can adjust it at any time according to your needs, which is very convenient.

In addition to the partition cabinets, a set of pull-out cabinets are also designed using the depth of the sideboards on the right side of the entrance. The upper layer is used to store luggage, while the lower compartment can be used to store seasonal shoes

Restaurant

Another major advantage of adjusting the entrance door is to completely release the original aisle area and satisfy the restaurant space Demand. When the door opening of the bedroom was moved to the dining room, the entire sofa wall became neat.

The dining table is placed in the center and an island is added, which not only allows the spatial circulation to move around the dining table, but also enriches the It improves the functionality of the space, such as leisure, meal preparation, storage, etc. At the same time, the design of the sideboard outside the kitchen also solves the storage needs of the refrigerator and dining room. src=\”https://p3-sign.toutiaoimg.com/tos-cn-i-qvj2lq49k0/4976b18089024e368670387fad8ffa26~tplv-tt-origin-web:gif.jpeg?_iz=58558&from=artic le.pc_detail&lk3s=953192f4&x-expires=1737253907&x-signature=ik1On4MUMqmoV76egp20mTsimp4%3D\”/>

Living room

Although the living room area itself is very large, in order to create an atmospheric spatial expression, the design is still complicated. For simplicity. For example, the top surface is designed without a main light, and the light trough is used to penetrate the space, which weakens the sense of complexity and allows more visual extension. Another example is to place the sofa away from the wall and choose a small size. The coffee table gives the space more freedom and flexibility.

The TV wall is designed with storage cabinets on the entire wall, and the spatial level is stretched through concave and convex door panels, making the visual sense It would seem so depressing.

When the door of the master bedroom was moved to the left side of the sofa, it was designed to be invisible and maximize the privacy inside. . The choice of black leather sofa also highlights the delicate texture against the white wall.

Balcony

After the balcony was incorporated into the living room, the entire balcony was raised. Whether it is used for leisure or parent-child use, it is extremely comfortable. Especially when the windows are changed to floor-to-ceiling windows, and it makes indoor and outdoor achieve symbiosis and co-growth.

The storage cabinets on the balcony side are connected to the TV cabinet and bear the storage needs of daily necessities. However, in order to distinguish the spatial levels, the cabinet veneer was chosen to be positioned in walnut.

Kitchen

The kitchen design is relatively conventional. When the bay area is relatively limited, the depth of the left cabinet is controlled at 35 centimeters, which will not Daily use has a big impact and also expands the area of ​​​​activity areas.

Bathroom

The bathroom has been separated from wet and dry, and a washing machine has been added in the dry area , clothes dryer equipment. This not only frees up the balcony area, but also realizes humanized living activities.

Master bedroom

The master bedroom is very large, so the layout is also designed as a suite, such as the sleeping area and bathroom. , cloakroom, office game area, audio-visual and other functions are all available.

Clownroom

This case is shared here. Although not every household can change the location of the entrance door, it can be done. It provides me with some layout ideas, especially the restoration of the space advantages that this unit should have. What do you think of this?
