BEFORE

STATUS 1 The rectangular and deep dining room with a general width gives an impression of long and narrow. As this tends to give people a cramped feeling, it is necessary to enhance the visual width.

STATUS 2 Both sides of the dining room is lack of convection windows. Although the ventilation problem can be solved by air-conditioning, but much has to be improved on the vestibule due to insufficient light.

STATUS 3 A large windowsill in the three bedrooms has occupied a lot of space. This causes quite a problem if each room has to accommodate a bed, wardrobe, desk or dresser.

AFTER……

The use of high reflective materials such as rose gold mirror, white micro-crystalline dolomite and jazz dolomite tiles, matt white enamel painting, and matt silver-colored aluminum sheet, etc. are able to reflect light, allowing the vestibule and dining room that originally lack of light, and even the rooms with large windowsills to become brighter and more comfortable.

SOLUTION 1

High reflective materials to reflect light!
The living room of length 9 feet seems to look long and odd in proportion. In view of this, the designer has laid high reflective materials, such as rose gold mirrors on the walls of dining room, and white micro-crystalline dolomite and jazz dolomite tiles on the TV wall. The reflected light from mirror surface and white dolomite tiles has allowed the living room of insufficient width to look wider. In addition, the selection of furniture in simple and basic colours has also allowed the bedrooms to look brighter.

SOLUTION 2

Reflective light effect to compensate light deficiency!
As the living room only has a window on one side, it has inevitably caused the vestibule and dining room to have insufficient light. As the result, the designer has carefully arranged the reflective light effect. Firstly, the vestibule with a false ceiling is hidden with an LED light to scatter the soft light downward. The designer pointed out that this light arrangement is better than spotlight with concentrated light by generating a wider light coverage to brighten every corner. Moreover, the shoe cabinet in the dining room is installed with light tubes on the top, interior and below to distribute a faint yellow light and create a “light supplement” effect.

SOLUTION 3

The bed is connected with the windowsill to save space.
A large windowsill in the three bedrooms has prevented the practical use of space. Each of the bed in the master suite and the other two bedrooms is placed on a higher platform and connected with the windowsill, and has a drawer or concealed compartment underneath the bed to provide a storage space. In the master suite, a beam near the window has been rounded along the edge, and the headboard wall is installed with wallpaper bearing the image of the Eiffel Tower to create a romantic atmosphere. The other two bedrooms are fully furnished with a bed, wardrobe and desk decorated in yellow oak veneer, matt white enamel painting, matt silver aluminium trims, respectively.
