My wife and I have lived in Shanghai for several years and have long been accustomed to the bright lights and nightlife here. Even if we can't experience what it's like to be in a foreign land, we can't go back to the small county town. However, the housing prices here are so high that the savings are only enough to buy a 74-square-meter second-hand house, but it has only one room. Thinking that we will have to take care of the children and the elderly in the future, one room is not enough. When we were overwhelmed, my wife suggested finding a professional designer to renovate it, hoping to come up with something new. Surprisingly, the house was almost unrecognizable after the renovation. Not only did it become a three-bedroom and two-living room house, but it also had a large balcony. I never expected it!



aisle



Because the entrance area is too small to be turned into a porch, a partition was installed so that some simple storage can be done.

Dining room



The dining room is separated from the original living room. The white marble dining table and gray dining chairs give a soft and fresh feeling.



The unique booth design makes full use of the space, which is both beautiful and practical. There is a whole row of cabinets at the back to meet daily storage needs.

living room



The living room is next to a large French window. The sun shines through the gauze curtains and falls on the sofa, providing plenty of light. The simple gray sofa is paired with a white wooden coffee table, creating a simple and elegant atmosphere that creates a warm and comfortable atmosphere.



The TV background wall is simplified, and the white hanging TV cabinet does not take up space, giving people a clean and neat feeling. Adding modern decorative paintings as embellishment, it immediately becomes fashionable.

balcony



The balcony gives you a pastoral feeling. The printed tiles are full of charm, and all kinds of flowers and plants are full of vitality. Even when doing trivial things like washing clothes and mopping the floor, we should not forget that life can be romantic.

Couple Room



The master bedroom is for my husband and I. My wife likes pink, so I arranged a pink headboard background wall for her, and the bedding she prepared was the indigo blue I like. Maybe this is life, you think about me and I think about you.



Considering the needs of daily work, the original bay window was converted into a desk, and a small study room was added to the bedroom. It is very practical and I can't help but give it a thumbs up.

Elderly housing



Thinking of bringing my parents over from my hometown, I converted the original study into a tatami-style room for the elderly, and decorated the head of the bed with ink paintings to highlight my taste.



It’s not that we didn’t prepare high beds and soft pillows for them, but they were used to sleeping on hard beds and they couldn’t adapt to the sudden switch to Simmons beds.

Children's Room



The children's room is natural and simple, with refreshing blue and white tones, making people feel the simplicity and innocence of children.



Compared to us adults, children need more independent and private space. This is a separated balcony with a personal washbasin, which is very convenient and practical.
