Subtractive decoration of living space and comfortable life.

In the study, whether it is the structure of furniture or the modeling lines, the language is consistent and echoes each other.

Subtraction in decoration and furnishings can leave blank space for our living space. In a busy and fast-paced life,

Insisting on subtraction thinking can make the home pure, relaxed and comfortable. Addition is the most direct way to decorate. Besides thinking, we sometimes get caught up in too many elements and lose proper limit, so we add redundant structures and decorations. But with the increase of experience, we gradually have the consciousness of subtraction and the judgment of choice. For the design and purchase of our own home, we began to think backwards, reduce the fragmented space division, remove the stacked colors and furnishings, dismantle the congested structure, and strictly screen our own items. So we hope to create a home where we can take a deep breath after being busy, because the visually harmonious home design can finally make people relax. But when it comes to subtraction, it does not have to be the same as minimalism. That kind of "extreme state that more than one sum will damage the effect" is not the purpose of subtraction.

The open kitchen creates an enlarged kitchen and dining room, so the materials and colors of the kitchen should be consistent.

It is not difficult to change from addition thinking to subtraction thinking, but it is necessary to overcome several common psychological stereotypes. One is "I like it, it suits me". In fact, for the disharmonious part, even if you like furnishings again, you have to bear the pain and give up what you love. After all, good things should be placed in the most suitable environment.

The second is the psychology of "fear of emptiness". When we see an empty place, we want to fill it or use it. In fact, we all ignore the use of blanks. Just like a painting, it won't look good when it's full. We should be kind to blanks. The third is "one step in place". This desire for success often leads to hasty addition without careful consideration or choice. Fourth, "give up halfway." Some people often pay attention to the use of subtraction when decorating, but in later life, they bought a lot of things at will, so the space in Shu Lang gradually changed its taste. If you think the above psychology is not difficult to control, then let's take a look at the deeper subtraction rule. There are only boxes on the bookshelf, showing a sense of floating at random. Thin transverse laminates seem to be negligible.

Simplified structure

The structure of a home is not complicated, and the appearance of the structure is always accompanied by corresponding functions. Walls are used to divide space, and ceilings are used to hide pipes or light troughs. Therefore, if there is no functional demand, it is not recommended to increase the artificial structure or cumbersome decoration with the thinking mode of reducing the structure.

But for functional structures, we should also be cautious. If the home area is below 160 square meters, try to avoid clear space division.

For example, instead of choosing a small study, it is better to incorporate the study into the living room or bedroom, which can create a spacious sense of space without losing its function. The straight-line modeling of the bedroom is modern and bright, but the flexible bed body and natural and harmonious color system can be used to weaken the toughness of the lines.

Subtraction line

Structure and furniture modeling are also a language.

If the language is inconsistent or too gaudy, it is easy to feel tired. The rule of line subtraction does not mean that you must keep a straight line, but to reduce those unrelated shapes. For example, some people see the moon door in a hotel or restaurant is very beautiful, but they ignore the overall artistic conception and make a similar structure in the passage of their home. Or someone mixes the neoclassical living room with the new Chinese bedroom when matching furniture, but ignores the unified and coordinated decoration of the small home. The easiest way to reduce lines is to keep a straight line shape, a sense of modernity and clarity, and then weaken the sense of toughness from materials and colors. But we can also repeat one or two modeling features at home to introduce some changes, such as spherical ornaments or circular patterns. In short, there should not be too many modeling features, especially in a narrow space, otherwise it is easy to be dazzled.

Uniform white, transparent back and small size make the breakfast table appear quietly in the corner of the kitchen without any space division.

lose lustre

In home design, too much color participation is often complicated, and color subtraction can reduce the abrupt side color or distracting noise. We can follow the achromatic color system, monochromatic color system or harmonious color system, and we can grasp the simple colors close to life. But to put it simply, for the achromatic color system dominated by black and white, we can use gray and natural materials to reconcile the strong contrast between black and white. For the monochrome system is too quiet, we can use a small area of contrast color to jump.

Relatively speaking, the harmonious color system is more complicated, but if we look at the colors from a group of natural materials, such as light oak floor, camel carpet, beige sofa, brown silk bag, etc., it is very easy to understand. , are all harmonious color systems around natural colors. However, when a group of harmonious colors are centered on colors such as purple or green, we either use a group of elegant colors to express purity or use bright combinations to increase extravagance, otherwise everything will easily lose color.

The treatment of the bathtub is to borrow the floor space downwards and step into the low-buried cylinder, which has a wider view from any angle of bathing or bathroom.

Height reduction

In order to keep the space comfortable, it is necessary to reduce the height. We should try to reduce things overhead, such as high bookcases and wardrobes, which will be crowded and heavy. Even if there are tall cabinets, we should allocate more area to this area to reduce its sense of oppression. For the * * * space in a duplex apartment or villa, the complex ceiling should not be used to cover up the unobstructed advantage, but the hanging decorations or lamps that do not hinder the line of sight should be chosen to echo the ground. In some innovative designs, low furniture combinations can also be used to reduce the height. For example, some low tables are between the coffee table and the dining table, with low sitting piers or leisure chairs, which have multiple functions such as catering, entertainment and learning. Can be integrated without hindering the use of space, ensuring the sense of transparency of space.

Don't worry. Monochrome is too quiet. Smoked glass coffee table and black frame add elegance to the white environment.
