The indestructible diamond represents eternality, but I believe most owners would frown upon looking at an irregular diamond-shaped living room. The designer has revised this apartment by adding triangular-shaped furniture to fill up the corners and remodel it into a square living room, thereby giving the room a European look, and at the same time, meeting the requirements of the owner.


Triangular coordination to fill up the corners

The apartment we are now introducing has a usable area of 690 square feet. It is absolutely sufficient to accommodate a family of three and a maid, but its congenital defect of a diamond-shaped living room is definitely a difficult task for the designer. The owners wish their home to have a Mediterranean-style European element, as well as large storage space and display shelves to showcase the ornaments. So the designer has made use of material and color aspects to fill the room with exotic sentimental feeling without generating a chaotic and untidiness effect. Once entering the living room, the visible strip-shaped structure at the vestibule plus a mirror wall succeeded in enlarging the original narrow hallway.

At the end of the vestibule is a triangular-shaped shoe cabinet for storage purpose that also serves as a wall for the sofa. The designer has built a children’s play corner near the window with an azure blue platform and a colorful lattice storage rack on the wall. The kitchen door is set with a blue triangular-shaped display cabinet that stretches slightly towards the wall. All in triangular-shaped, the above three furniture units have filled up the obtuse angles of the living room, turning it rectangular to ease placing the furniture.



The living room’s play corner with a lattice storage rack (costing about $14,280) has a swivel cabinet door that doubles as a folding table.

The staggered bamboo partition (costing about $ 4,000) and mirror wall (costing about $10,000) give a partly hidden and partly visible effect of the living room.

The pure white louver window is able to cover up the inharmonious aluminum window, and yet not affecting its function.

The three walls of the dining room are decorated harmoniously in different elements, and the blue cabinet (costing about $12,000) can even bring out a southern European style.

To parallelize the sofa and TV wall, a triangular cabinet is built at the rear of the sofa (costing about $7,140).


Artistic hallway & elegant room

The dining area next to the living room has a rich European look in which three walls are decorated in wallpaper in three textures of brick pattern, mottled white wooden lacquer finish, and checkered bricks. A blue combination cabinet at the wall corner has created a Southern European Greek style in simple blue and white colors. Walking along the hallway is just like entering into an art gallery. Its view from the ceiling down to the floor tiles are breathtaking, featuring a mirrored ceiling with storage compartment, Turkish floor tiles with thick European flavor, and the bookcase and display rack on the walls, one in plain elegant color and other in colorful arrangement are able to harmonize each other. Entering into the room is another world, the master room of which is luxurious and simple. It has a wooden floor platform, an elegant and practical wardrobe and display rack combo trimmed with raised panels, and an azure blue wall being illuminated by a headboard light to increase the entire room with energy. The adjacent son’s room is extremely simple, being dominated by a white combination top bunk bed with a bottom cabinet and desk embellished in green to give a robust feeling. A desk is built on the windowsill to draw ample light into the room and enhance vitality.


The up-to-ceiling cabinet (costing about $15,000) and the floor tiles (costing about $5,000) are decorated maliciously to give a breathtaking feeling.

The headboard light is able to brighten up the azure blue bedside wall to avoid a dark feeling of the room.

The son’s bedroom is not built with a false ceiling light trough but an up-to-ceiling combination cabinet.

The master room is built with a floor platform and cabinet combo, as well as a display rack (costing about $44,000) to increase the storage space.

Highlighted with a white and turquoise combination bed (costing about $44,000) and well-lit windows, the son bedroom is full of vitality.
