Project Description

When you have lived in the same residential unit for many years, you may occasionally want to change the look of your home or solve some old problems through new design. This time, the owner of Heng Tsui Court in Chai Wan hopes to bring some changes to his residence. He not only wants to beautify the living environment, but also wants to make proper use of every space. Since the owner of the house has elderly people at home and cannot carry out large-scale decoration, he hopes that the interior designer can carry out partial furniture customization and decoration to achieve the desired effect.

First of all, the low TV cabinet in the living room has been used for many years, and the owner wants to re-order a tall TV. In addition, the guest installed a new split-type air conditioner. Therefore, the first requirement of the homeowner when ordering new cabinets was to be able to hide the air-conditioning pipes. For this reason, the designer put the pipe on the back of the cabinet so that guests cannot see the pipe from the front, which is both practical and convenient for future maintenance work. Simply loosen two screws on the cabinet and the back panel in front of the air-conditioning pipe can be removed for repair. Although the cabinet is easy to disassemble, it is actually very complete and stable. In addition, the designer also installed six new switches requested by customers in the cabinet for daily use, but some of the switches will not be exposed, which is more beautiful and practical than the old design.

Another key point of decoration in Xingcuiyuan is the space behind the washing machine. There are many pipes on the back of the washing machine, which is not only unsightly but also makes it difficult to utilize the space. These protruding pipes cannot form a flat surface, making it impossible for the homeowner to add shelves to display items. He hopes that designers can improve this problem through this residential renovation. In order to solve this problem, the designer customized a frame for the homeowner, so that the homeowner can add perforated boards by himself and hang clothes hangers, small tools and other daily necessities on the board. This design can not only cover the pipe, but also make full use of the space. The homeowner is also very satisfied with this design.

In addition, homeowners like glossy furniture very much, which can give people a neat feeling. Once, when a customer visited our showroom, he not only touched cabinets made of different materials, but also could actually observe the effects of different color combinations. The customer was very pleased with the results of the cabinets and panels in the showroom. Therefore, according to the owner's request, the designer customized the cabinets in the living room and dining room to be glossy white, and used dark gray irregular marble texture panels as a foil to make the living room and dining room look like the guests' ideal appearance.
