About the lintel in the middle of the living room

My suggestion:

Use the ceiling method to solve the feeling that the main beam is too large and too low, and the feeling is "abrupt".

Because the lifting height is 2800, the lintel is 500, and the net height at the bottom of the beam is 2300, if the overall flat ceiling is made along the bottom of the beam, the net height of the room is all lower than 2300, such a result must appear to have an overall sense of depression, and it does not meet the provisions of the "Residential Design Code" that "the indoor net height of the bedroom and living room (hall) should not be lower."

The Residential Design Code also stipulates that the local clear height should not be lower than, and its area should not be greater than 1 3 of the indoor usable area. The net height of the bottom of the beam is outside the regulations, and the area does not exceed the usable area 1 3, so as long as the height of the bottom surface of the ceiling is considered, it is recommended that the height of the main beam exposed ceiling is not more than 200mm, and it will appear "heavy" if it is too high, and it is appropriate to take 150 200mm.

The main beam is just in the middle of the inverted L-shaped "overall living room" of the design scheme, which visually has made a space division for the living room, while the preset small bedroom has no space division, and the functional space division is not obvious, which is a contradiction. Therefore, it is recommended to make "false beams" between the living room and the small bedroom in order to distinguish the functional space.

The exposed part under the new false beam and the ceiling should be consistent with the exposed part of the solid false beam; It is also recommended to paste wood grain veneer three-layer board to reduce the sense of "solid weight", which has spatial changes and is not monotonous.

There is no door between the living room and the small bedroom, and there is no partition, which is not suitable for the bedroom as a private space, and there is no soundproofing. At the very least, consider adding a semi-transparent partition with a door or door opening in the middle. New fake beams and partitions can be considered for unified design.

The square area below the inverted L living room should consider the needs of the elderly, and be arranged and arranged with the convenience of the elderly's life, which is actually a small living room for the elderly. I'm also an old man, so I have the above advice. I don't know if I made it clear?

In addition, the net height of the indoor functional space in a small area should not be too high, and too high is more likely to produce the feeling of "cupping" slender and tall, which is not a good thing. The bottom surface of the ceiling can be made of some single-layer gypsum board retreat, with a width of about 200mm, and a frame edge can be made along the top corner. It is also possible to use suitable plaster wire and wood coil edges.

The lintel is beautiful and there is no visual difference of the cut", the visual difference must be there, at least it should be reasonable and pleasing to the eye, and the sense of cutting can be dispersed and weakened with other "eye-catching" designs.

There is a big gap between different styles and treatment methods, and these two more common ones can be considered; 1. Wrap the beams in a mirrored way, and cooperate with the shape of some mirrors in the restaurant; 2. With the dome ceiling in the way of V-shaped, the beam is at the lowest point of V, and the rest of the wall is coordinated, and the completed section is a trapezoid, the short side of the top is the original top, and the height of the trapezoid is the height of the beam.

The ceiling is lifted to the bottom of the beam or half of the beam is made into a stepped state.

The ceiling in the living room weakens the sense of oppression of the beam, and it is stacked into a cascading shape, and a single dye will definitely have a heavier sense ......of oppression

Make small slopes. Slow down. I've seen examples. Decorative lights are installed on the slopes. It's coordinated. The beams there are not visible at all.
