How to remodel an old living room?

First of all, please determine the age of your house and the area and orientation of the living room.

In the 90s, the living room was just separated from the layout of the guest bedroom, and the area was generally smaller than the bedroom.

In the 00s, the house began to occupy a larger area of the interior, but most of them were still on the same lighting side as the bedroom.

In the 10s and later, the horizontal design of the living room and dining room became the mainstream, that is, the living room and kitchen were on the same lighting surface.

The age is different, the room type is different, and the direction and idea of living room renovation are completely different.

Second, identify the main function of your living room.

1) The function of the traditional living room is mainly simple reception and relaxation. In the past, watching TV was the main leisure way for Chinese, so the townhouse coffee table TV has become the mainstream layout mode of the living room, no matter how large the living room is, what style, the mainstream layout is still around the TV.

2) If you position the living room as a shared space for the family, then integrating the living room, dining room, kitchen and even the study is a good renovation plan, on the one hand, it can maximize the integration of public space in the small apartment, and on the other hand, let the family gather more together.

The former functional appeal for the positioning of the traditional living room, and your house is a product of the 90-00s (Including the house built in the 00s 10 years later), then the general direction of the renovation is: reduce the bedroom space, increase the living room area, merge the balcony to expand the lighting surface, and make a TV wall with storage function.

The latter function is aimed at the positioning of family sharing space , then your living room has two transformation directions according to the different room types:

First. If your living room is smaller and the bedroom is on the same lighting surface.

Through professional designers, the space layout of the original house can be changed, and the bedroom with the best lighting and the balcony can be transformed into a living room to realize the integration of guest dining and kitchen. And this is the design direction of the mainstream house type of hardcover real estate, which is quite popular in the market.

Second. If your living room is large enough.

Consider ditching the TV and merging the living and dining spaces to create a complete parent-child activity area.

This includes: large square tables, computer desks, wall-to-wall bookshelves, and children's play areas. This is shown in the figure below.

To sum up, in fact, it is not only the living room, as long as it is the renovation of the old house, we must start from the original room type, re-plan the functional partition, and transform it on the basis of the functional partition. Yunhe always believes that functional transformation is the fundamental plan, and style transformation is the icing on the cake.

What do you think?

Once you've set it up, even though your house doesn't look new on the outside, the more the inside turns things upside down, you'll feel like you've entered a new environment, and it's no different to fit into a new house. The interior is beautifully decorated and neatly arranged, making it the ideal living room in your mind. After that, when our house gets old, we don't have to buy a new house and decorate our old house.

The old house is still its own old house, the old house is warm and clean to live in, with a nostalgic taste.

If the old living room needs a complete makeover, replace everything. Incorporate some modern elements, preferably clean and tidy, which is what I should expect. Then use some decorations to make the whole home look so tall, highlight a strange atmosphere of your own home, and let guests walk into this living room, what a great enjoyment!

Come to some plants at home and put them in the corner of the living room, anyway, as long as they don't block people's activities and cooperate well, it's good to be at home. It's best to have some more books and put them somewhere in the living room to highlight the reading atmosphere of this home, and then the guests come and enjoy it.

It's better to buy something that is not easy to get dirty, it doesn't look so annoying, and it's better not to buy white, because white is particularly easy to get dirty, and if there is a drop of ink or oil stains on it, it will be difficult to wash, and it will look particularly uncomfortable.

This home is your own, you must think about it, try to invest as much as possible, and make it perfect, after all, you have to live for a long time.
