Introduction

There is a saying that "everyone has a log-style picture in their heart". For many people, a log-style living environment is like being healed.

Because the design of the log style mainly uses wood color and warm neutral tones instead of cold tones, staying in such a space for a long time will make your body and mind calm.



Recently, a reporter accidentally photographed the home of a retired professor in Shanghai. The living environment is a simple log-style design. So what is so attractive about the log-style design of the professor's home?




Warm and peaceful living room.

The living room of the owner's house is decorated in warm white and wood tones, creating a warm and peaceful atmosphere.

Several abstract paintings decorate the walls, adding an artistic feel to the space.

The sofa area is mainly designed in a simple style. The owner uses a white fabric sofa with a wooden sofa cabinet, and some seasonal plants are placed on the cabinet to add vitality to the space.

However, the owner did not place the sofa cabinet directly against the wall, but placed it close to the center of the living room. This not only makes the space appear more transparent, but also allows people coming in from the door to see that the space is more stylish.



The homeowner also chose a customized large cabinet and used it as a partition on the other side of the living room, but this is not an ordinary large cabinet. Its design is very simple and elegant. The overall color tone echoes the living room. Even the handle on the cabinet has only a small diamond-shaped notch. It is simple and generous without losing its beauty.

The lower part can also be used to conceal some small household appliances commonly used in daily life, such as set-top boxes, while leaving open space for displaying ornaments, making the cabinet a combination of "storage + display".



As soon as you enter this space, you will feel that the whole house is very neat and elegant.

Another thing worth noting is the TV wall. The owner did not use a TV cabinet that is embedded in the wall at an angle. Instead, he mounted the TV directly on the wall. The TV cabinet was designed into a rectangular tabletop, on which he could place some small items that he could use with him, such as keys, hats, etc.

When visitors come, you can also put some refreshments on it and use it to entertain the guests while talking.

Overall, the homeowner is really superior in space arrangement. He divides the various functional areas through simple techniques without destroying the sense of transparency of the space. This arrangement technique is worth learning.



Semi-open kitchen and dining room.

As kitchen decoration styles become increasingly modern, many people are still stuck with the closed kitchen design, because compared with open kitchens and semi-open kitchens, it can better ensure that cooking fumes will not affect other people's living environment.

However, as the quality of life becomes higher and higher, everyone hopes to enjoy the little happiness of being able to sit down and eat the next dish at any time when they cook. At this time, the semi-open kitchen has successfully gained a foothold by virtue of its good looks without destroying the sense of happiness.



The kitchen in the owner's house is semi-open in design, but the opening is not the common arched or directly open. Instead, a part of the original wall is retained, and the side without wall support is built into a bar, which represents a "separated but not separated" way of dividing the space.

This kind of separate but not separated space division has many advantages. It not only blocks some of the fumes to make the open kitchen more congregate and friendly, but also serves as a social corner, allowing people who are cooking and those at the dining table to communicate at any time, instead of interfering with each other.



The owner used a combination of black wood grain and all-white in this area. In fact, the black wood grain on the bar and the side against the wall is very design-conscious, but on the contrary, it would not look so good if all-white was used to match the cabinets.

Not to mention how easily all-white cabinets will look dirty, the visual conflict alone does not create a strong sense of visual harmony. So, if someone likes storage compartments under the bar, they can also find a custom-made master to convert the cabinets into one layer, with a glass door on the upper layer and a solid wood door on the lower layer. This way, while the aesthetics are compromised, the glass doors will not make the cabinet look messy.



In addition, another outstanding advantage of the owner's kitchen is that the cabinets adopt a U-shaped layout. This layout uses three countertops to surround each functional area in a U shape. It is not only beautiful but also effectively isolates oil fume pollution. It is very suitable for this semi-open kitchen that retains partitions.



Restaurant and tea room.

The compromise between the bar and the restaurant forms a perfect spatial boundary, so the owner directly arranges the restaurant in the area opposite the bar.

The restaurant floor is paved with wooden floors, which complement the porous wood-grain floors from the bar to the dining table. The texture of the combination is naturally a hundred times more beautiful and charming than the bathroom floor with awkward color differences and gaps between tiles.



The tables and chairs are not made of nylon composite materials, but of warm wood texture, which greatly increases the warmth of the home and makes the living environment more relaxing.

In addition, there is a window above the dining table that connects the dining table with the natural landscape outside, making the dining process full of natural atmosphere and comfort.

The wall behind the dining table is a vacant space left after the non-load-bearing wall was demolished, so the owner built a set of small wine cabinets here. Not only does it make use of the idle area, but it also creates an atmosphere in the home where people can have a glass of sake to sober up after a casual gathering, making life feel richer.

After removing the non-load-bearing walls, the remaining space is divided into a hall and a dining room on both sides, making the living environment more transparent, bright and comfortable.

Overall, this place will make it easy for people to doze off while basking in the afternoon sun, but it's fine as long as it doesn't affect your daily routine.

In order to keep quiet and tidy, there are no curtains here. Instead, the windows are kept in the state of the entrance, and only climbing plants are planted outside the windows. This can block the sunlight and affect rest without taking up too much window space.

The tea room also maintains this style, but its design is more Zen.

Generally, Zen rooms will use a combination of jute weaving and rustic wood, but the owner here used a combination of white hemp weaving and golden hemp wood, and the effect is not vulgar at all.

The platform is only two centimeters wide. There are several small stone lions scattered in the horizontal window in the middle of the door. The decoration in the front is mainly composed of several small bamboo leaves, and the surrounding decorations are all raised stone circles. At first glance, it looks like a small Buddha made of rocks.

The four corners of the back room are decorated with irregular jute round frames, and there are no objects placed there, which adds a nice touch to the beauty of the space without making the environment appear crowded.

In the middle are six large round frames with darker colors. After glass is embedded in the frames, they form simple, bright, exquisite and simple lofted lamps, making the light in the whole room gentle but not dim.

Bedroom and dressing room.

The master bedroom is not decorated with large areas of fancy wallpaper or complicated decorations. Instead, the headboard background wall is painted gray and white, leaving a blank wall. It has a modern and simple aesthetic, while also being consistent with the color of the bed, making the bedroom more comfortable.

The bed is designed with a beige fabric headboard and a warm wooden bed color. It is not only beautiful and natural, but also has a deep texture that makes the whole room look much more stable, making the bedroom atmosphere more peaceful and reassuring.

Opposite the bed is a simple and clear style combination TV cabinet. Due to the blank wall, there is no decoration here, otherwise it would also have a good decorative effect.

There are bedside tables with drawers on both sides of the bed, which can be used to store personal items. At the same time, alarm clocks and other items can also be placed on them, which is very convenient to use. Due to the reasonable size design, it does not hinder people from moving around, so even if you walk in, it will not cause a sense of oppression to the eyes.

Overall, such a simple and peaceful bedroom can easily help people relieve stress and get better sleep.

The design of the cloakroom takes into account both privacy and transparency. Its main structure is "rattan + glass door". The combination of rattan partitions and glass doors not only ensures that the privacy will not be seen by outsiders when putting on clothes, but also ensures that daily life will not become depressing and boring due to the privacy protection that reduces the lighting too much and becomes dim and without too much freshness.

Conclusion

The log style is a design concept that allows partial shading to bring more spiritual baptism to the residents. Therefore, if someone likes the layout of the owner's house but doesn't know whether it can be applied to a living environment smaller than a single-family house, you might consider trying a simple style.
