If you were asked to design the layout of a home, how would you design it?

Regardless of how many rooms, most people would design a living room.

Over the years, we have formed a mindset about how we imagine our home space. The reason why homes come out similar is because the home concept is not diversified enough. All functional areas can be shed, as long as you do not need them, your home can have no living room, no dining room, and even no bedroom. When you are no longer obsessed with the traditional "standard pattern", the home will let you live comfortably.

Nowadays, many people's homes are small and medium-sized, the rooms are designed to be small, but the living room is very wide and luxurious. Usually does not often have guests, in addition to the holiday reunion, the living room is not being utilized.

The core area should be customized according to the family's greatest needs. If you spend a lot of time watching TV, the core area is the living room; if you only like to lie in bed, then the core area is the bedroom.

So now you can think about what you like to do at home. What do your family members like to do at home? What is your family's routine like?

The living room does not necessarily have to have a sofa + coffee table + TV. A lot of people make up for watching TV nowadays. If both couples are workaholics, why don't you remove the big sofa and coffee table from the living room and replace it with a big log table? Usually, two people can work together here, have guests can also sit together to eat and chat.

For cooking lovers, you can turn the living room into a big open kitchen. Families with children can turn the living room into a parent-child space with a collection of dining rooms, study, and playgrounds.

In addition to the above, your "living room" can also be a gym, checkroom... if necessary.

If the meeting space is essential, you can think differently about the arrangement. Why does the sofa have to be a bulky 3+2+1? Why the coffee table must be very large? Why not change into a combination of coffee tables, that can be used as a temporary workstation, or a temporary dining table, flexible and versatile, the most important thing is the high value!

Based on retaining the function of the parlor, minimize the size of the parlor room as much as possible. The most needed is the best, since you don't need the living room, eliminate it! The largest area of the home will be used as the family "public activity area", the home will live comfortably, and the family relationship will also be closer.
