DECORATIVE DESIGN PRINCIPLES

86 Scene creation

In home interior design, decorative design is a process in which the designer makes the optimal choice and

allocation of the articles in the interior space. As the sublimate of the interior design, it is also a process when

idealisation and abstraction transform into life. Only by undergoing the step of decorative design can the home

interior space truly demonstrate its individuality and be closer to the real life.

In this case, the designer creates a customised and comfortable ambience through the choices of the furniture

in the living room, the plants in the corridor and the sculpture in the bathroom.

2 between public and private in residential spaces. If you follow

Entrance+Living Room+Kitchen+Dining Room Plan the typology of living spaces you can see that one major

thing did change in a way that everyone takes for granted

3. Conceptually designers were thinking of it as a flipped now – the open public space of the living, dining and kitchen

penthouse or courtyard, where instead of letting in the light, areas. This project examines the limits of this configuration

air and landscape penetrate from above, it is now carving which designers have inherited from the \"loft\" concept of the

through the apartment from its side. This inverted courtyard 1970s

separates between public and private and creates an effect 2. Behaviours and lifestyles that shape the residential

that removes the private sections of the apartment beyond environment are very difficult to reshape. Designers tend to

an outdoor space as if they are two separate houses be very attached to spaces they grew up in and the things

they know and feel comfortable

87 Vestibule design

The vestibule is the beginning of the home interior space and also the starting point of the integration between

man and the total environment. In addition to offering the basic functions such as serving as the ornaments,

dressing space and the storage function, the vestibule is designed in the same style to that of the whole interior

space. The design of the vestibule should focus on its simplicity, functionality and artistic quality. Meanwhile,

the space subdivision of the vestibule influences the sense of scale of the whole interior space.

In this case, the designer builds a feature wall resembling a sculpture at the vestibule. The top of the feature

wall has clear directivity. The abstract artworks in modern style at the entrance imply the style of the whole

interior space.

1. The Vienna Way residence, designed for a young family,

is located on a large, extensively landscaped lot in Venice,

CA. Floor to ceiling glazing and outdoor living spaces fully

integrate the home within the California native landscape

2. The kitchen continues in the backyard’s riparian landscape

planted with rushes, reeds, and sycamore trees. These

plantings give way to a large play yard filled with buffalo

grass and surrounded by Oak trees and other California

native plants

3. In addition to bridging the two main volumes, the kitchen

is the centre of a water-related area that starts in front with

a swimming pool and flows through the kitchen and over its

green roof

4. The kitchen acts as the hub of the residence, connecting

the public and private areas and providing views of the pool,

side yard and rear property

91 Master bathroom design

The whole design style and form of the main bathroom should express the clients’ pursuit of life quality and

provide the clients with a private interior environment. Besides the basic function of bathing and rinsing, the

main bathroom needed to be created within a comfortable spatial ambience through the layout, the material

combination, the collocation of lights and the like.

In this chapter, the unique features of master bathroom are fully expressed through the functional partition,

material combination as well as the collocation of lights.

92 Terrace design

As the transitional area between the interior space and the exterior natural landscape, the terrace with a

broad view, can bring people luxuriant visual enjoyment. The terrace can perform the functions of providing

relaxation, catering, recreation and the like. As for the lighting design, it always combines the two lighting

systems of natural lighting and accent lighting.

In this chapter, the terraces in two totally different styles convey the two ways of modernism and classicalism to

interpret the open space, while they are the same in grasping the space configuration and understanding to the

life.

93 Attic design

The challenge of attic design is how to arrange the sloping roof and utilise the natural lighting. The varied top

shapes and storey heights of the attic make it easy to form a flexible space sequence relation.

In this case, the designer reasonably and effectively sets up the public and the private space types according

to the locations of the sloping roof and the window, guaranteeing the unity and coherence of the interior space

by coordinating the material and the lighting system.

require customised spaces. Designer took the challenge, managing to create large rooms with few dividing walls, to give more

breath to the apartment

94 Children’s room design

Children’s room is the space region with the most flexible layout in home interior design. With the growth of

children, the interior layout needs to undergo constant adjustments. The greatest feature of children’s room is

demonstrated in the colour scheme: the colour scheme with high saturation and low purity can provide children

with a tranquil and calm mood while invigorating the interior spatial ambience. In terms of the furnishings, toys

and other soft decorative articles are always the best choices which can not only create the childlike interior

ambience but provide the children with protection.

In this chapter, the design of the children’s room in each of the three different cases conveys the same design

concept whether in terms of the colour scheme, the selection of the material as well as the arrangement of the

toys. The interior space is full of child interests with the application of these unique design techniques.

95 Multimedia room design

The multimedia room can be combined with the living room or designed as an independent space in home

interior. The plane layout of the multimedia room includes mainly the passageway, the film-watching area and

the bar. The multimedia room imposes relatively high requirements for lighting, especially the arrangement of

the auxiliary light source which could not ruin the interior atmosphere while maintaining the certain luminance

and decoration.

In this chapter, different multimedia room design in the five cases all make perfect explanation of the shape

selection of the lights, the arrangement of the light sources, the style of the furniture in the watching area and

the colour scheme of the interior space.

Media Room Plan

Lighting acts a crucial factor in traditional Chinese architecture, and it is also the part from the last space that does not properly

expressed. In Chinese style building, the use of light effect is not just about pouring in the space, but it should be used with

more hidden, little modest or even shy to pour on the space people need. It is little bit like the personality or nationality of

Chinese people, connotation. This kind of nature light effect is able to give special feeling to the Chinese building. The

branches of the tree are waving in the alleyway, along with the scene of children playing, combine with an old grandpa

holding a long hookah, it was the image in the traditional triangle garden. The multi-function hall in basement, made with two

rusted pivot door as entrance, the purpose of it is as a transition of space. This multi-function hall is the recreational place

for watching a movie or taste a wine from the wine collection. There is a corner in the hall have a perfect outdoor view, it's

fascinating when designer first saw this corner, he can feel every single pore of his body are stimulated. He settle a huge

potted plant in this corner with lot of exaltation. This corner is too necessary and crucial, without this special focus point, the

great feeling.

99 Roof garden design

With its own objective limitation in the integrated design of the home space, the roof garden, a special

functional area, however, has won more and more attention from the designers and the clients, as people

increasingly hope to enjoy the kindness of nature within reach along with the acceleration of the urbanisation.

In this chapter, the roof garden design in each of the three different cases effectively integrates the functional

areas such as the recreational area and the dinning area. A comfortable outdoor activity area is effectually

created with the help of the collocation of the furnishings and the lights.

100 Courtyard design

In the design of villas, the courtyard design is the extension of the home space design. At the beginning of the

design, the functional partitioning of the interior plane and that of the courtyard are carried out simultaneously.

The passageway design connecting the interior and the exterior space in particular is the primary consideration.

The courtyard design involves site planning, pavement design, greenery design, waterscape design and other

structure design.

In this case, the courtyard design beautifully coordinates its relations with the villa building by putting up the

ground pavement which deserves people’s attention, the flower bed and the waterscape. The environment

design of the courtyard endows the interior space of the villa with more openness and mobility.
